DBZ: Legacy of Goku 2 ROM – Play the GBA Classic with Modern Fixes

If you’re diving back into the world of Game Boy Advance emulation, Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku 2 is a must-play. Released in 2003, this action RPG lets you play as Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, Trunks, and Goku through the Android and Cell sagas, complete with level-ups, transformations, and gear upgrades. It’s one of the most beloved DBZ handheld titles, with over 5 million downloads across ROM sites and consistent 4.5+ star user ratings.

The ROM runs smoothly on most GBA emulators (like mGBA or VisualBoyAdvance), but some players report lag or audio glitches, especially on mobile. To fix that, try enabling frame skip, lowering audio sample rates, or switching to a more optimized emulator. Also, look for pre-patched ROMs with fan-made bug fixes and quality-of-life tweaks.

This title still holds up thanks to its non-linear overworld exploration, side quests, and satisfying combat mechanics. Whether you’re playing for nostalgia or discovering it fresh, there’s tons of value here.

Curious—what emulator setups or patches have worked best for you when playing Legacy of Goku 2? Any mods or enhancements you’d recommend for new players?

Honestly, Legacy of Goku 2 was the GBA’s hidden gem. I remember playing it on VisualBoyAdvance back in high school. The Android Saga pacing was perfect. I had some sound crackling too, but disabling ‘Synchronize’ in VBA’s audio settings really helped.

I used mGBA on my Android and it ran buttery smooth. Pro tip: If you’re on a slower phone, turn off BIOS emulation and limit FPS to 60. Also, the fan-patched version with the “Extended Edition” mod adds post-game content!

Anyone ever try playing this with a cheat code to start with SSJ? It breaks the game in the most fun way possible lol.

For anyone stuck in the Frieza spaceship area—check that far-right computer again. It’s a dumb trigger.

What’s everyone’s go-to grind spot? I always use West City for quick respawns.

I speedran LOG2 in 1hr 47min last night using only Vegeta. Can confirm he’s the goat for boss DPS.

Is there any way to mod in voice clips like “Kamehameha!” on attack? That would be 🔥

ROM version 1.1 has fewer bugs than 1.0, FYI. If your emulator lets you pick versions, go for that.

TIP: Train everyone evenly. Don’t just pump Gohan or you’ll regret it later!

I always forget how grindy the leveling can get if you skip enemies. Had to backtrack 3 zones just to survive a boss fight. 😂

Favorite moment? Easily the battle against Android 17. The music and the energy just HIT.

I glitched into the forest during the first Cell Games cutscene… anyone else seen this? Wild stuff.
