| 2024-12-15 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-12-14 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | This one works perfectly! It has a nice look to it, works with no issues or ads. I definitely would recommend 👌 |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | 100 percent best one functions great saves work no issue def worth a try |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | 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! |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | The emulator is PERFECT but I'm using my pro controller and when I press b it does a and when I press a it does b. Plz fix that otherwise this is amazing |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | This is pretty good plays most roms flawlessly, I say most because there seems to be a pretty bad glitch where the game will freeze and you can't do anything about it, if I could uninstall and reinstall games then it'd be a 5 star |
| 2024-01-31 |  | | Good app, emulates pretty well, but the layout customization doesn't save when in landscape mode. Well, it does, but it doesn't apply them. It works perfectly fine in portrait mode, but it doesn't in landscape. Not sure why. Would be an easy 4 stars if it worked properly. |
| 2024-01-09 |  | | Sadly after the recent update, the app has shown itself to be dysfunctional. Not because it doesn't work incredibly, but because it removed all my roms (and seemingly, their save files) without notice or warning. Additionally, they now refuse to read them at all, proving tedious. With this update, this is just a very annoying to use emulator for the long term, and you'd be much better off with MyBoy, which at least allows you to extract saves. Was a very nice emulator at one point. |
| 2023-07-16 |  | | This emulator is the best I've used, although there are things I wish would update, for one maybe allow for games like pokemon, allow people to play two games at once so you can trade between them. Another maybe is a update in the software although this one is less needed as the app runs good by itself. One complaiint I do have is that at least for me, the app doesn't seem to detectly save the game I use detectly into the file, so if it's possible can you guys fix that? |
