https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.fms.vgba
Many people asked me to simplify the cheat entry interface that only allowed entering one code at a time. Starting with this release, you can enter multiple cheat codes into Cheat Editor.

VGBA-Android Release Announcements
Hello, All!
I have released the next version of my GameBoy Advance emulator, VGBA-Android 4.1.14, to the Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.fms.vgba
Starting with this version, you can report non-working Cheatopedia cheats. Simply hold the cheat code entry with your finger, then select "Report Non-Working Cheat" from the context menu. Similarly, you can report faulty games from the File Selector. I have also added the complete file deletion option to the File Selector. Choosing this option from the context menu will delete the ROM and all files associated with that ROM (*.sav, *.sta, *.frz, *.png, *.mid).
Several people asked me to exit the emulator by double-clicking the BACK button, to avoid accidentally clicking that button during game play. The double-click is now the default behavior. If you want to go back to the single click, uncheck the "Press BACK Twice to Quit" in the Settings.
Finally, I hope that the latest license verification fix will make things easier for the users complaining about the license verification acting up when they have no network connection.
ALL CHANGES:
* Now exiting emulation when user presses BACK twice (not once as before).
* Uncheck "Press BACK Twice to Quit" setting to restore original behavior.
* Added "Completely Delete File" to the File Selector context menu.
* Added "Report Non-Working File" to the File Selector context menu.
* Added "Report Non-Working Cheat" to the Cheatopedia context menu.
* Added Dynasty Warriors Advance to the Cheatopedia.
* Fixed a license verification crash when no network available.
