Pizza Boy A Basic

Play Game Boy Advance games on Android

Pizza Boy A Basic is an emulator for Android that runs Game Boy Advance games. It suits players who already have compatible game files and want to play them on a phone or tablet, with touchscreen controls or a supported hardware gamepad. The app does not include games, and it does not run Game Boy or Game Boy Color titles.

Controls and play options

You can change the size and position of the on-screen buttons to suit your device and how you hold it. For supported games, save states let you record a point in a session and return to it later. Fast-forward and slow-motion options give you some control over the pace of play, while shaders offer ways to alter the display.

• Supports Game Boy Advance games only
• Customizable touchscreen button size and placement
• Save and restore states
• Fast-forward and slow motion
• Hardware gamepad support, shaders and screenshot capture

A focused arcade pick

Rather than offering a library of games, Pizza Boy A Basic provides the software to emulate a specific handheld system. That makes it a practical choice for retro players looking for a dedicated GBA emulator, but not for anyone expecting included games or support for older Game Boy formats. Its feature set also gives you options for both controls and playback without changing what the app is for.

Player response

Pizza Boy A Basic is published by Pizza Emulators. Its 4.84-star rating comes from more than 35,000 reviews, and the app has passed 1,000,000 installs. Those figures suggest a well-established choice among Android users seeking a GBA emulator.
