µCity Advance
A downloadable game for Linux
This is µCity Advance (also spelled 'uCity', pronounced 'micro-city'), the open-source city-building game for Game Boy Advance. This is a remake of the original µCity for Game Boy Color.
This game is completely free. Just download the ROM, install a Game Boy Advance emulator, and play! The last release of the game should be here:

You can also play on real hardware. Even though the game has been developed using mainly emulators, it has been verified to work on hardware.
Also, there is a precompiled Linux binary attached to this page, and it should also be available in the GitHub releases page.

Don't forget to build many Schools and Police buildings, or residential buildings won't be built.
Really enjoying the game and now I remember I’m not good at city sims haha. Tested it on my anbernic rg35xxsp in retroarch and it runs great!
Hello! Thank you for making this ROM. A few things:
1) This page should be updated to v1.0.2.
2) When I launch it and go to the main menu, it still reads "uCity Advance v1.0.1" on the top rather than v1.0.2.
3) When I try to run the game using my favorite emulator (My Boy! for Android), I get a full white screen the title screen does not show up. Does anyone have any idea why? It does work fine for mGBA in my computer and also Pizza Boy for the Android. It's just that My Boy! is my preferred emulator. :-)
hey :)
The GBC Version doesn't work on my Emulator but the GBA version does :)
Yes, the GBC version is more demanding, and it seems to give emulators more problems than the GBA version. Your emulator isn't the only one...
Allright! I fixed it. On pizza Boy it works on my Phone. Great Job! I really love it and get some small tiers in my eyes when I played it with the old sim city OST from snes :)
thank u very much!
Ah, that's great, good to know that it's working now! :)
