Snes9x EX+ is great on a pc, but in my opinion, THIS is how it's supposed to be played. It's a handheld emulator, why not use it as a handheld? I only have one complaint, and that's that it doesn't have tactile feedback, but that's a small personal gripe. Other than that, this is a great way to experience those retro handheld games without buying the real deal or one of the many modern retro handheld consoles that are popping up nowadays.

Great port of snes9x on android! However... the super scope controls need some work. Needs more turbo fire support, pause button, and in "Metal Combat" especially.. there's a ST called tornado where it has the hyper shot. You're supposed to hold in the cursor button and then fire. Hitting and holding the cursor works as it should, however it only fires a superturbo shot rather than the hyper shot. Please fix this

Very pleased with this emulator; I am using it on a cheap Android TV streaming box. The only problem I had was the joycon not working. This wasn't the fault of the emulator. Apparently in Android 11, using accessibility options messes with android gaming controllers. Once I disabled them all (key mapper, custom shut down button, etc) everything on the controller began working as it should.
