So here's my honest take on John GBC. I've tested a bunch of Game Boy emulators and this one's pretty solid. The core emulation is fast and accurate, and I like all the extra features they've added like save states and controller support. But it's not without its issues - the UI can be a bit clunky at times, and the ads get old quick if you don't pay. Overall though, it's a great option if you want to play your old Game Boy games on Android.

Description

Been using John GBC for a couple months now. It’s basically a Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulator for Android. Pretty solid app if you’re into retro gaming.

Here’s what you do: you can load up old school Game Boy games and play them on your phone. There’s also cool features like save states, turbo buttons, and Bluetooth controller support. And the graphics look great – it’s got high quality rendering so the games don’t look all pixelated.

Look, if you’re a fan of classic handheld games, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can get kinda annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to relive some old school gaming on your phone.
