As of this writing, that's the 9-20-2018 nightly build on Windows, and version 0.7-WIP on Android through RetroArch (which is probably the same build, or extremely similar). I should note that this may/may not have been an issue in the past for non-Windows systems (this is a 3-year-old issue, after all), however this is my experiences using the latest version of mGBA available through RetroArch and mgba.io. I'm not sure about other consoles that can run mGBA through RetroArch, but if I had to guess, this is a Windows-specific issue.

Again, I don't know the full technical details of this, but from what I've seen, I'd say this is a pretty good guess. Using the mGBA setting to sync to video does help somewhat, but the improvement is minimal, and it's nowhere near as seamless as on Android. Windows erroneously trying to sync the frames to the screen's refresh rate are causing some of the flickering effects in GBA games to be skipped. In any case, I think this Windows framebuffer is causing the problems here. I tried running mGBA in fullscreen, but either it only implements borderless windowed mode, or my having multiple monitors prevented me from trying it in exclusive fullscreen mode.

From personal experience, this effect has been noticeable I remember having a ton of screen tearing in older games without proper Vsync support, and running them in windowed/borderless windowed solved most of the issues, whereas exclusive fullscreen would bypass this framebuffer, leading to screen tearing. I don't know any of the specifics, but I remember learning a long time ago that Windows has its own sort of Vsync/framebuffer that it applies to everything running in windowed mode. I didn't even give the effect much thought. I double checked on my phone, and sure enough, the transparency/flickering effect is quite good under Android. selected in the Oculus app) Fix flashing black triangles filling your view on Rift. When I switched from playing Boktai on my Android phone to playing it on Windows (both using the mGBA core), the flickering became much more noticeable on Windows. Hello, Ive been having issues with the audio in my dolphin Emulator. I know this is an old issue, but I thought I would add something that and others may find interesting.
