SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The development team at Garage Research Emulators has announced that its app allowing play of classic games, VGBA GameBoy* (GBA) Emulator, has been optimized for Android* tablets powered by Intel® Atom™ Processors.  The app itself does not contain any commercial GameBoy* Advance games, but by downloading it, users of this device now have the best way to enjoy just about any GBA game at any time.  GameBoy* and GameBoy* Advance are registered trademarks of Nintendo, and GameBoy* Advance games are copyrighted by their respective publishers.

VGBA GameBoy* Emulator is the best GameBoy* Advance emulator on the market.  It supports full screen landscape and portrait modes, with many special effect options and customizable skins.  A player can pause during a game at any time, and the progress is saved for the next session so that the game can be picked up where it was left off.  With just a touch of a button, a player can also instantly rewind moves to replay scenarios.  The app features a built-in Cheatopedia, which offers cheat codes for dozens of the most popular games.  VGBA lets players enjoy games with Bluetooth and USB joysticks, Moga gamepads, Xperia gaming buttons, iCade joysticks, and Wilmote and Sixaxis controllers.  Using the State Exchange feature, players can easily share their current progress with others and compete against them.

Now specifically optimized for these devices, using VGBA has never been more enjoyable than on the platform provided by Android* tablets powered by Intel Atom Processors.  With applicable assembly language and hardware acceleration, players will benefit from the fastest GBA emulation available.  Players will enjoy classic favorites brought to modern-day life on the vivid screens, as well as quick movements and fast-paced fun.  It is strongly suggested that users do not use VGBA to play games they do not own physical cartridges for.  The Intel® Developer Zone contributed in the optimization process by assisting in writing code, providing support, and offering troubleshooting.

Marat Fayzullin, President of Garage Research Emulators, stated: "We are pleased that our collaboration with Intel® has allowed new fans to enjoy the classic feel of GameBoy* Advance, as well as favorite games of their choice."

VGBA GameBoy* (GBA) Emulator is available for immediate download at the Google Play Store:
