This week's VGBAnext release for Android is now online. This version merges changes from the recent Windows/Linux VGBA and VGB releases and fixes several AndroidTV issues. I have also added Cheatopedia cheats for 8 more GBA games, including Dr Seuss, Demon Driver, and Dogz.

I have just released free VGBA for Windows and Linux, a new version of my GameBoy Advance emulator. The new release comes with fixes and improvements to the replay feature, previously added to the Android version of VGBA.

VGBAnext 5.6.5 is now online. The new version adds the remaining time display when replaying a game. It is shown in seconds to the right of the replay indicator. I have also added dark and light textured backgrounds to the Settings activity, depending on the UI color setting. Finally, the app now uses Material Design theme rather than the default device theme for the Settings. For the next several days, VGBAnext is on sale for $2.99. If you liked the app, but not the price, now is the time to make the move. See below for all the changes in the latest version.

• Added remaining time display during replay.


• Fixed replay rollover mechanism.


• Added shadow underneath the time display.


• Settings activity now uses black/white UI setting.


• Switched Settings to Material Design on Lollipop+.

The free VGBA 5.7 for Windows and Linux has been released last night. This release fixes rotated backgrounds in Top Gear Pocket and other racing games. It also corrects several DirectInput issues and makes directional pads work on Xbox gamepads. See below for the complete list of changes.

• Fixed rotated backgrounds bug (scenery in Top Gear Rally, etc).


• Fixed default window position to the middle of the screen in VGBA-Windows.


• Fixed DirectInput joysticks support in VGBA-Windows.


• Made directional pads work on XBox gamepads.

This week's VGBAnext 5.6.1 release is now live. For this release, I have fixed the rotating backgrounds bug affecting scenery in Top Gear Rally and some other driving games. I have also fixed the issue where a saved game would get "stuck" in the backup folder (/sdcard/VGBAnext) preventing you from saving progress. Finally, a bunch of remaining DropBox issues have been fixed, so you should now be able to access DropBox with no interruptions. See below for all the changes.

• Fixed rotated backgrounds bug (scenery in Top Gear Rally, etc).


• Fixed issue with backup save file being chosen over the normal one.


• Fixed remaining DropBox issues.


• Fixed upload dates on the DropBox files.


• Made DropBox worker queue more reliable.


• Renamed DropBox authorization activity.


• Fixed a few other bugs in the DropBox code.

I've released the free VGBA 5.6 for Windows and Linux this weekend. The Windows version has got support for multiple monitors, better full-screen mode selection, and a fix for the window flicker that showed up after the recent Win10 updates. The Linux version now uses PulseAudio sound by default, so you do not have to mess with the /dev/dsp simulation. See below for all the changes.

• Added multiple monitor support to VGBA-Windows.


• Fixed disappearing window in VGBA-Windows.


• Fixed best full-screen mode detection in VGBA-Windows.


• Fixed window flicker that appeared after recent Win10 updates.


• Switched VGBA-Linux to using PulseAudio sound.


• Updated old PulseAudio driver for 64bit Linux.

Also, VGBAnext for Android, which includes support for both GBA and GBC games, is still on sale until the end of this week.

The new VGBAnext 5.5.11, published today, fixes a bunch of issues in the Joystick Layout Editor. Among other things, the new Layout Editor will let you freely resize the display rectangle in both dimensions, something users requested. Do note that if you make that rectangle too high, the actual GameBoy screen will show up at the top of the rectangle. See below for all the changes.

• Greatly improved the Layout Editor, fixing many bugs.


• Layout Editor now lets you resize screen in both dimensions.


• Screen rectangle will stay centered while resizing.


• Buttons gravity will be restored when resetting layout.


• Made states/screenshots deletion more reliable.


• Fixed hangup on exit where Java code waits for non-existent native thread.


• Removed outdated features from the EMULib code.

A quick fix VGBAnext 5.5.10 release reenables File Selector navigation through unreadable folders, unless it is the root folder. Of course, you still won't be able to see any content in such folders, but at least you should be able to continue to the parent folder by clicking on "..". If you do get stuck on some folder, use the "Change Folder" menu option to jump wherever you need to go. Sorry for the trouble caused: trying to figure out the most comfortable solution for all the users. And in case you wondered, VGBAnext is still on sale for $2.99 for the moment.

VGBAnext 5.5.9, the new version of my universal GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Color, and GameBoy Classic emulator for Android, is now online. This release adds the "Change Folder" option to the File Selector, letting you quickly jump between folders, even when Android prevents normal navigation. I have also made error messages more readable and added cheats for Mortal Kombat. See below for all the changes.

• Added "Change Folder" option to the File Selector for jumping between folders.


• Made folder listing error a bit less threatening, since it has become the new normal in Android 7+.


• Added cheats for Mortal Kombat Advance.

The new VGBAnext 5.5.8 release is now ready for you to download. This release fixes an awkward situation with newer Androids, where the system won't let you see contents of certain folders. Previously, when trying to open such a folder in the File Selector, you ended up with an empty screen and nowhere else to go. Starting with this release, VGBAnext will simply refuse opening prohibited folders. I have also added cheats for 8 more GBC games, including Atlantis, Dogz, and Donald Duck. See below for all the changes.

• Fixed File Selector getting stuck at unreadable folders.


• Added cheats for 8 more GBC games.


• Added cheats for Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Mulan.


• Added cheats for Buzz Lightyear and Disney's Dinosaur.


• Added cheats for Donald Duck in Maui Mallard.


• Added cheats for Donald Duck: Going Quackers.


• Added cheats for Tarzan and Dogz.
