- Keep. Covered at some length in this book. Also mentioned in another. The software seems to be known for a quite while in the community, 2001 interview with the main developer. Pcap ping 17:56, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- According to that book, and also to armchairarcade.com (a site with professional staff) it's one of the top two choices for GBA emulation, and rated as little better than the competitor VisualBoyAdvance. Pcap ping 18:33, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Discussion in the book seems persuasive to me that at least some external sources view this as notable. Nandesuka (talk) 03:04, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Despite the number of articles about emulators that make their way to AfD, this goes to show that it is possible for this kind of software to meet our notability guidelines. Good find; keep. Marasmusine (talk) 12:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
