| 2024-11-17 |  | | High quality indeed! I recommend having a folder inside of your downloads folder for your games for easy scanning. Games look good, run smoothly, and control great. Ads are out of the way, not annoying and only in the menu. Probably the best free emulator for mobile devices! However, there is an error when scanning a directory (folder) that has only cropped up recently. I can't fully see the error message as it's too long. |
| 2024-05-06 |  | | The rewind feature is limited to only 10s?? What about the people who want to experiment? Also, the fast forward button turns off when exiting a game, just disable it already. Oh and don't get me started on the controls, too janky, you can't even press more than two buttons at a time. What do you mean by, "remote controller"? Can't you just plug one in and skip all that junk? All in all, this emulator is pretty good at emulating, but these bugs are too annoying. p.s. the font is too unreadable |
| 2024-01-22 |  | | Everything is okay with this, no lag, no trouble, and no ads during games. But one problem is that when I save or a load a slot twice it removes my rom and i have to do a search every time to get the game back, and it's not only saving and loading, it's multiple types of this problem, like leaving the app, and sometimes flipping the screen on accident. |
| 2023-08-18 |  | | Button position is off when phone is in reversed landscape (upside down) position, and the changes I make to the control locations don't seem to save for landscape view. Other than that, it seems to work great, has save states, and can keep my game paused in the background for as long as I need. |
| 2023-08-08 |  | | Not sure what's goign on but I can no longer move the control keys around on the screen. It doesn't save the control layout and forces the default. The menu only says "reset" and pressing the back button undoes what I did. Can't play games using the default layout. It used to work fine. I had to reinstall it and now it's like this. |
| 2023-07-24 |  | | Redownloading this app again, because I really do love it. I'm just hoping the on screen button layouts can be operative again? On controller layouts are very important for emulators to have. Without that feature,it kills the fluent gameplay! So please fix this issue... pretty please?! Five star rating and a very good review and recommendation! |
| 2023-05-01 |  | | Originally reviewed 5 stars. They patched it and now literally nothing works. It will no longer find my roms on my phone and the UI doesn't even work because it's just cycling through ad banners across the bottom of the screen. I don't know why they chose to completely destroy what was really one of the best Emulators out there, but they did it. Kudos. You took careful aim and shot yourselves right in the foot. |
| 2022-11-03 |  | | Great emulator for Android. Plays games very well, with no apparent flaws (that I've noticed so far). However, it does have a big problem with the hit boxes for the buttons being set waaay above the buttons themselves. It makes playing the games super irritating. But there IS a workaround. Fortunately, the emulator works with controllers. So get yourself a USB controller (I use a PS3 wired aftermarket controller) and a USB-to-USB C adapter. It'll work for other emulators, too. |
| 2022-03-31 |  | | So close yet so far away. The issue is simply the controls. I can't tell you how many times I would die or lose a game based on the lack of control on the controls. I even positioned them differently and everything else I could try in an attempt to fix it. I go forward, then it starts going up or down or stand still. Same with the a and b buttons. If you don't hit it precisely, forget it. Love the emulator but lacks those things. If it were responsive I would buy the pro version. |
| 2022-01-03 |  | | Great emulator. Runs ROMs just fine along with the cheats. I also love the sort of 'Indiglo' digital design and being able to see a preview of your game's save state with an indiglo filter as well. I've seen some reviews about issues with the controls, which may or may not have been fixed by now; to me, it's probably just a little tricky trying to use the d-pad quickly. 5 stars nonetheless; definitely recommend this emulator. 👍 |
