Latest Release:0.10.5
Latest Development Version:8986-c30aaa8f4
A new release of mGBA, version 0.10.5 is available. This version is a bugfix release, which contains several important fixes.Though 0.10.4 was scheduled to be the last version before 0.11, some major issues were discovered and fixed.Important fixes include save state loading leading to a small portion of the ROM getting corrupted until reset, which affected games including Golden Sun, the Wii version (and potentially other versions) crashing when loading from ZIP files that are too large, and another issue with the updater.As this version only includes important fixes and smaller fixes that are unlikely to cause more issues the list of changes is small.This will be the last release before 0.11 unless a major issue is discovered, and may be the last release to support Windows 7 – 8.1 and macOS 10.9 – 10.12.An extensive list of changes follows after the cut.

Read moreTime sure does fly, huh? It’s been 10 years now since thevery first commit to the mGBA git repository.And while you can read all about the early history of mGBA on thetimeline page, I can assure you I had no expectation I’d still be working on this ten years later.But here we are, a decade later, and I’m still working on it.
Read moreA new release of mGBA, version 0.10.1 is available. This version is a bugfix release, which contains several important fixes. This release took a lot longer than expected, but hopefully it’ll be free of new bugs as a result. An extensive list of changes follows after the cut.
Read moreBeen a bit, huh?It’s been 10 months since the last minor release, and over a year and a half since the last major release, but progress definitely has not stopped in the meantime.Although a lot of the changes in this version are under the hood, cleaning up a lot of older code, paying downtechnical debt and fixing bugs, there are still some major new features in this release.Maybe we spent a bit too long on the polish, though, since this release was intended to be released months ago.Note also that mGBA is written primarily bya single developer, so at times progress can stagnate; after all, mGBA has abus factor of one.Fortunately, the extra-long wait is over, and mGBA 0.10.0 is here now!
Read moreThe highly-anticipated scripting feature, which has been in development for the past several months, has now been merged and is available in development builds.With this merged, users can now write and run scripts in Lua, as is possible in some other emulators.Currently, there is only preliminary support and many features are not yet exposed.These builds include an example script that shows how to interact with the emulator, and can pull information about the party from the US releases of the first three Pokémon generations.There is also documentation on the current API availableon its own page.
As this feature is still nascent, we’re looking for feedback on how to improve it and what should be added in the future.For this, there is now a #scripting channel in the Discord server (linked on the sidebar) to discuss writing scripts or requesting support or new features.If you’ve wanted to write scripts for mGBA, now’s the time to start looking into it!
The current features are currently implemented:
A new release of mGBA, version 0.9.3 is available. This version is a bugfix release, which contains many important fixes. Importantly, random freezing with the OpenGL display driver, mostly when using fast forward, which had only partially been fixed in 0.9.2, should now be properly fixed. An extensive list of changes follows after the cut.
