Open source GBA emulators?
Skyemu has a Web version that's usable on Android. Other than that, I don't think there's any new one.

Real World Application using C++
It is possible to make web applications in C++. Here is a web-based Game Boy emulator done in C. But it's a hell of a lot harder than doing it in a language designed to make web applications.

New and would appreciate some help!

Release of SkyEmu 1.0
Despite it being a new emulator, it features high accuracy and compatibility allowing it to play difficult to emulate games that established emulators like mGBA and VBA-M struggle with. On top of accurate emulation. SkyEmu supports the following major features:

First Emulator to 100% GBA Suite Timing Tests
SkyEMU, the GB/GBC/GBA emulator project that I have been working on for the last six months was recently able to 100% pass all 1920 of Endrift's GBA suites timing tests. I believe this is the first time this level of timing accurate emulation of the GBA has been achieved and I wanted to share my excitement with the community.

Trying to identify this ESP32 Module
I’m trying to port Retro-GO to one of these tiny gaming handhelds and I wanted to compile a list of the parts used, but I’m having trouble identifying the ESP32 module used since it looks like the telltale metal shield on the module was removed. Any clues?

Original Odroid go - Software updates?
https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/releases/tag/1.31.1 There are a couple cool 3rd party images. This one is my favorite, and has tons of cool features, including a slow snes core.

Pocket-Sized Doom Is Actually Playable
No I don’t! It would be a fun toy, but it’s definitely underpowered… since it uses a esp32 chip instead of something like a raspberry pi (like other portable emulators do). I might buy one if I can find it for cheap, and add the Retro-go firmware.

Adafruit upcoming handheld console may be the smallest (playable) DOOM device
During development of this device they ported (info here) Retro-32 to the device, a multi-emulator software developed originally for Odroid-GO, that support PrBoom.
