Works out of the box with no lag when playing roms. No pop up ads or banners during gameplay itself, in fact the only ads you'll see are during the rom selection menu and that's on the absolute bottom of the screen in a very small banner. I normally don't do reviews but the developer deserves to be praised for their app and their ethical advertising practices.

I love this emulator but suddenly today it just started moving at snail speed. Its like the speed up is in negative because it runs at regular speed when I put the speed up on. I really appreciated how fast it was before. If anyone could tell me how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated and I would give it the 2 stars I can't rn

Great emulator! Free, with option to buy. Works great, customisable buttons. No stupid subscription like the others. Just a great emulator like they used to be before Google got everyone on the advertising money and micro transaction band wagon. I will be buying the pro version just to say thank you to the Devs for offering a great honest product. Thank you guys!
