How does No$GBA work?

Remember that the emulator is provided as-is and does not contain any game, so make sure you download at least one game like Pokemon FireRed or Pokemon Emerald. Once the emulator and the game's ROM file are downloaded, you can quickly load it in the emulator by clicking on File > Cartridge menu (FileName) and then selecting the ROM file you want (usually in the .gba or .nds format, depending on the console the game is intended for). You can also tweak many of the emulator's settings (Options > Emulation Setup), including the controls (Options > Controls Setup).

Is it free?

According to the developer, No$GBA refers to the expression 'No Cash GBA', meaning the emulator is designed to be used for free.

Is it safe?

No$GBA is a safe program. However, it would be best to keep in mind that the distribution of ROM files for Nintendo game consoles is contrary to their terms and conditions policy. It means you need to download ROM files independently and pay extra attention to only downloading from safe websites.
