About — SmurfVillage.cloud

01 WHAT IS SMURFVILLAGE?

SmurfVillage.cloud is a browser-based Game Boy emulator. Play classic GB, GBC, and GBA titles directly in your browser — no downloads, no installs, no emulator software required.

The library includes 10+ classic titles covering all three systems. Games run at full speed using WebAssembly, with audio, save states, and gamepad support built in.

SmurfVillage is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — install it to your home screen for a full-screen, native-like experience on iOS, Android, and Desktop.

02 HOW TO PLAY

Head to the game library and pick any title. The emulator loads in-browser — no ROM upload needed for the included titles.

Tap or click to start the game. On mobile, the on-screen D-pad and buttons appear automatically. On desktop, keyboard controls are available. Physical gamepads are also supported via the Web Gamepad API.

Save states are stored in your browser's local storage — your progress persists between sessions.
