Looking for an emulator (old nintendo) (self.fdroid)

So i recently got my first android phone after having been an iphone user for years. So far i am really happy and especially enjoy finding foss alternatives to as many apps as possible.

However i cant seem to find a gameboy emulator, one oft the things i missed on ios all those years. Mostly for gba games, maybe gbc too. Does someone here have a recommendation? All the ones i found on fdroid were incompatible.

No, Happychick is malware, stay away from it. All the emulators they use are stolen from the .emu apps, from MAME and if you want to play Nintendo DS it literally just installs a moded version of drastic.

It ask for a lot of permissions, including location and contacts.

You can also used it to download untrusted Roms and even android apps.

On top of that isn't even open source.
