As you probably know, I have been trying to fix the sound echo problem in VGBA. The VGBA-Android 3.9.39, published last week, "fixed" the problem at the cost of breaking one of direct sound channels. The VGBA-Android 3.9.41, released today, really fixes the echo problem, without breaking things. It also comes with cheat codes for Megaman Zero game series and the Metal Slug Advance, and a few other things. Please, give it a try:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.vgba

ALL CHANGES:
* Found and fixed discrepancy between direct sound channels A/B.
* Sound echoes are now really gone and the audio latency should be
lower.
* Fixed hangups on Android 2.x device rotation with OpenGLES enabled.
* Now properly recycling screen buffer bitmaps on exit.
* Added a few fixes to the Gallery for smaller screens.
* Added Metal Slug Advance cheat codes to the Cheatopedia.
* Added Megaman Zero, Megaman Zero 2 (US/EU), and Megaman Zero 3 cheat
codes to the Cheatopedia.
