Still far from the level unfortunately, but the progress is still active. So far the game I'm enjoying that is fully emulated is Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden. Runs really well, close to 99%. Others I've tried have graphics and sounds glitches, but playable to an extent.
MGBA I had never heard of before, that I'd like to try as that old vgba thing that died years ago had an -X fork that was good but that went dead too. Marat with this emulator is pretty solid, but he's more general I think with things not that that is a bad thing but it took the guy like 15 years to actually bother re-writing sound core for his older Nintendo emulators which sounded awful and now are great.
VBA used to be my go to for GBA emulator but since I discovered mGBA, it is far much better. Though it is well noted; mGBA is solely for GBA emulation only. While VBA also supports GB and GBC.
but the compatibility is not great for gb, gbc as posted on the author website. Hopefully it will improve overtime.
