Multigba S (beta Multiplayer G 0.030

Multigba S is an emulator for Game Boy Advance (GBA) games, allowing users to enjoy classic titles on their Android mobile devices. In addition to the offline mode, players can engage with friends through LAN network or Online multiplayer features by logging in with a Facebook or Google account, without requiring third-party applications. Notably, this emulator stands out by seamlessly facilitating online multiplayer functionality, eliminating the need for manual configurations or port openings.

As of January 22, 2019, the majority of games' link cable multiplayer modes are compatible with Multigba S. However, complete compatibility with every game cannot be guaranteed. Users are encouraged to report any bugs encountered related to multiplayer functionality.

Features:

• Offline single-player mode.
• Link cable emulation via LAN, Wifi Direct, and Online multiplayer mode. Noteworthy for its consistency and absence of de-synchronization issues common in other emulators utilizing scheduled syncing network play methods. Supports long-distance connections between players across different countries, contingent upon network connection speeds.
• Invite others to play online using Google or Facebook accounts.
• Text chat during multiplayer sessions.
• Supports saving game states, even in multiplayer mode.
• Compatible with hardware controllers and virtual/on-screen/touch-based controllers.
• Customizable layout for virtual buttons.
• Offers various shader effects.
• Emulator core derived from mGBA, recognized as the most precise GBA core available.

Notes:

• Location permission is necessary for Wifi Direct multiplayer mode to function correctly.
• The app does not provide games; users must transfer or download GBA ROMs to their devices' sd cards. The app automatically detects their locations. Both .zip and .gba file formats are supported.
• Hosting multiplayer games demands robust devices with a minimum quad-core 1.5GHz CPU.
• In multiplayer mode, only the first player (host) needs the game ROMs on their device; other players do not require them.
• To enhance gameplay experience during multiplayer, keep devices closer together and near the router/access point or utilize Wifi Direct if supported.
