Higan Emulator
The Higan Emulator is a very versatile little software that can run not only GBA games but also Famicom, Super Famicom and Sega Master System games amongst other popular consoles. It also offers perhaps the best colour reproduction/correction of all GBA emulators.
The only disadvantage of all the versatility is that if you’re on a relatively weaker machine, you might run into major performance issues.

This is one of the oldest GBA emulators around that supports multiplayer games with upto 4 players on the same PC as it doesn’t have network support yet. Considering the multiplayer patch came out in 2004, that ship might as well have sailed.
