| 2024-11-25 |  | | This used to be the best emulator out there, now, after the last update, all the touch controls are broken. As many others have stated, I have to touch way off of where the button actually is for it to register. I'm also on a Moto G Power. The emulation works, but until the buttons are fixed it doesn't deserve more than 2 stars. Things are basically unplayable, and I paid for this app, so that kinda makes me mad. |
| 2024-11-12 |  | | I've had this emulator for years. It's hands down the best, no doubt. I've played everything from DragonBall games that requires using the touch pad to Pokemon and Zelda. It is so seamless. Very easy to use. -I would love to see the ability to run 2 pokemon games simultaneously like I can on the gba emulator [MyBoy!] makes trading a non issue lol You can swap between games easily, but it resets the 'inactive' game. So, no trading to yourself. Regardless 10/10 get this emulator! |
| 2024-11-10 |  | | All DS Games are playable and all action replay codes are available for every game. The button scheme is perfect. Ads are minimal and there aren't many saving and loading glitches. There isn't any need to pay money to play and everything about the apo is editable! Lags and crashes are minimal and stays open in the background without crashing better then most games do. Doesn't require wifi to load or play games, but for certain things and removes the need for ads. This is literally the best |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | I absolutely love this emulator, customisable controls, fast graphics, controller compatible, and the ability to play hombrew is awesome. But my only real gripe is that multiplayer isnt available. It makes playing and or completing some games hard or damn near impossible. For example most of the Pokemon games cant be 100% without completing the pokedex. My recommendation is to try and get either wifi multiplayer or Bluetooth compatible multiplayer. However you must insure it works between games |
| 2024-10-19 |  | | This is the best emulator on the market. I love the preloaded cheats and how easy it is to use them UPDATE: I took 3 stars for the save state data loss because it seems it wasnt handled professionally. would really love the ability to play 3ds games! I think that is the only thing this app is missing! The competition doesn't even offer access to the internal clock, so save states are awful! Please add 3ds compatibility so We can play even more childhood games! |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | Used to have zero issues but for some reason on my 2024 Moto G the buttons are a tad below where the button presses actually are, if that makes sense... I've tried playing with the settings and the best I can seem to get it is where it is now, about 1/4 inch above the D pad and abxy buttons is where I need to tap for them to actually work/press... Pretty minor and takes some getting used to but it still works, so 4 out of 5 until that issue is resolved. I think that's fair. Love the app! |
| 2024-09-28 |  | | DS emulators are so finicky, so I tried a bunch. This one has the best sound, least stutter in the audio, overall seemed good, but the calibration for the touch screen AND the buttons is off, and you can't adjust it. In portrait, the touch screen mostly works, when the rogue button inputs aren't fighting for control - I even moved the buttons away from the touch screen, still got interruptions. Landscape, buttons are king, but they are still off. Touch screen unusable. Overall, no precision |
| 2024-09-26 |  | | I want to like it. There's a lot of great features and quality of life. My biggest issue is when I bluetooth a controller it just randomly cuts out frequently. I'll be playing and suddenly lose control over my character. If it happened less often I wouldn't be as bothered by this. But it happens enough to the point I don't want to continue playing. Controller and phone work fine in other apps. |
| 2024-09-22 |  | | I've been experiencing frequent fps issues on my redmi note 10s which isn't suppose to be possible since my old phone which is massively inferior to my current one can play games on it flawlessly and can even handle graphic intensive games like Pokemon Black 2. I still think that this is the best DS emulator app in the market and i will still use it but I hope you can further optimise it for phones like mine. |
| 2024-06-16 |  | | This emulator was perfect before the most recent update. It deleted all my current game progress and removed the main storage in which I stored all the games I used to put in that specific folder. I have trouble finding the games and no matter how many times I start over the continue button doesn't work and the last savestate doesn't exist, even though I've saved a few times before leaving. |
