GBA.js is a Game Boy Advance emulator written from scratch in JavaScript using HTML5 technologies like Canvas and Web Audio, with no plugins required. It runs entirely in cutting-edge web browsers and supports savegame transfer, screenshots, pausing, and realtime clock gamepaks.

Use cases

  • play game boy advance games in the browser
  • emulate gba roms without installing software
  • run gba games on a chromebook
  • embed a game boy advance emulator in a web page
  • take screenshots of gba gameplay
  • upload and download gba savegames in the browser

When to choose

  • you want to play GBA games purely in a web browser with no plugins or installs
  • you need a JavaScript GBA emulator core to embed or build upon
  • you want savegame upload/download and screenshot features in-browser

When to avoid

  • you need high accuracy or full game compatibility, especially for homebrew titles
  • you need savestates, gamepad support, link cable multiplayer, or cheat codes
  • you need an actively developed emulator - the project has not seen releases since 2017
  • you target older browsers like IE9 or Safari 5.x
