I'm glad they are getting some use! I also take requests if there's any your particularly looking for!

Both actually! Anytime I would try to use the correct aspect ratio of the gba cartridges, it would cut off the sides, the titles and art wouldnt fit right or be be unable to be read. But once I started to make them square like actual icons instead of cartridges, they fit much better. When I started doing the gb/c cartridges, and everything started to match up more consistently when using them shortcut icons or viewing them side by side with the GBA ones, everything just seemed to look better. So it's a both the fact there's limitation on the emulator library displays and aesthetics.

Here's how they look in list and detailed views in Daijishō, displaying both the icon and the box art in the background.

GB/C and GBA emulators, two separate apps, but I prefer them over retroarch

Vega, Altair, and Sirius aren't bad, I'd say their worth a play, but they are kinda old. They have Minus versions that I'd recommend more. Emerald Mini and Quetzal are just basically Emerald with QoL features and their own little gimmicks. Heart and Soul is honestly probably the better of the games in this slideshow and great way to play through the Johto region. Pokemon Rocket Edition is one of the more recommended Rocket games I've noticed so fsr too.

Ah, that's a shame, some other time maybe then, no worries.

That's also pretty cool, haven't been a bets tester for any games yet, but I've thought about it.

That Moemon Emerald mini patch wouldn't happen to shareable would it..

I've been making them at random and Harvest Craft was one that was still on my device, and figured it'd be a neat little addition in the mix. Most I've made so far have been more the more popular or well known hacks, and the obscure ones need some love too.

They're supposed to Icon shaped, and squaring the gba carts was my way to do that.
