Re: GBA Emulator on Amazon Fire TV Stick Very Slow

I installed retroarch 1.7.1 on my Fire TV stick and downloaded the Game Boy Advance mGBA v0.7.0 Core, I tried a couple of games:
Metroid Zero Mission and Zelda Minish cap,Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Contra 3, Guilty Gear and Mario Kart: Sound is working good and gameplay is smooth and optimal.
It seems mGBA to be the best core (some people say it lacks certain features but can't see which are those things missing), I heard it is one of the most accurate and works pretty damn well on limited hardware like the Fire TV Stick.
I think retrox is using the VBA Next core(also VBA M shows poor performance), I downloaded v1.0.2 and it emulates at a very slow framerate so it seems it's true that this emulator doesn't work well on constrained hardware.
