Works quite well for playing game gear ROMs. Currently playing the shining force gaiden: final conflict English translation and everything seems to work great including save states. Also no instrusive ads, pretty great for a free Android emulator.

It's literally perfect except for one thing. I can't for the life of me take screenshots. And I realise the main menú has the option, but all I get is a little blink for touch feedback when I tap it, and nothing else. Did I Screencshot? If I did, where did it go? Other than this, excellent emulator!

It's worked well, runs my games, no complaints. I haven't tried the "non-standard" features like cheats or anything though.
