Best Gameboy Advance Emulator for macOS?

[Pilot Jones]

My beloved GBA finally breathed it's last just a few days ago. Help me cope.

Running Catalina on a Early 2015 13" MBP. Any recommendations?

A lot of forks have gotten folded into OpenEmu.

I would also recommend VisualBoyAdvance for Mac. I've used it to play Pokémon Yellow, FireRed and even the fan hack AshGray from time to time!

Goodness. Pokemon Gold is unbelievably crisp on OpenEmu...can't believe how good it looks.

Thank so much for the recommendation!

I gave VBA a shot and it's ok, but it does crash a fair bit on my Mac which can be heartbreaking at the wrong moment.

I don't know if that's a Catalina thing or it's just VBA on the Mac in general.

The best GBA emulator for any platform is mGBA (https://mgba.io). It looks like you're using OpenEmu which uses mGBA so you're good.
