Overall wonderful experience - Major technical flaws

I primarily play the Ace Attorney games, and for the most part they run wonderfully! However, there are some performance issues that do interfere quite often.

•Semi-commonly, the music will cut and jump ahead a couple seconds.
•Sometimes when saving (assuming I’ve made a significant amount of save files in a short period of time), the app will randomly crash. (I’ve tried to save less frequently to counter this)
•A similar issue happens when deleting backed-up save files where I crash after deleting a significant amount of saves. (with less saves backed up, this isn’t often a problem anymore.)
•When my battery is low and on power save mode, OR when I’m playing on double speed, sometimes the game will just start running painfully slow and the audio will crunch and garble. (Opening up the menu fixes the problem most times, but sometimes it’s only temporary and the issue sparks up again shortly after).

I’d highly recommend this emulator anyways, as an emulator of such high quality is rare on something so commercial like ios - do be aware that it’s not free of its flaws, though. And keep in mind that the issues I’m having could be partially based on the games that I have played - different games could have different issues, so test and experiment and see what your limits are to have the best time possible with this emulator!

Functional, great for public, needs attention

Writing this so more people can see including the developers. The emulator is great, works with everything it says, it’s awesome we have a dedicated emulator for iOS now, but my big issues are related to the sound.

The sound quality is pretty bad, with frequent audio crackling/skipping/lagging (on an iPhone 14), and the emulator, given its DS compatibility, always has the microphone on, which means I am unable to be on call with someone through say, Discord, without disabling the sound of the game itself. This is very annoying as someone who plays games with friends and an audiophile.

Of course, if these issues don’t bother you, then it’s perfect! But these issues have been discussed many times on the application’s Discord server, Reddit, and even directly mentioning it on Twitter. It astounds me that there’s been no option for us to say, turn off the microphone function, or for there to be more focus on sound quality. Those are my two cents however - I applaud the customization and functionality, I just would like more attention on these things.

Best emulator on iOS

But needs more systems like a 3DS, psx, ps2, PSP, GameCube, Wii, Atari, and Xbox but over all this is the best emulator in iOS history.

Perfect Emulator and on IOS!?

Works perfectly with all the essential bells and whistles for any emulator. So glad to see this on the App Store, no more need to emulate DS games on my hefty Steam Deck. I love it!

Increase the speed multiplier please

The only gripes I have is that the speed multiplier is too low. I wish it had 4x or higher as that makes older games more bearable to play again. Thanks

Best Emulator for Nintendo Games on iOS

Great emulator, emulator controller skin. Thank you for keep doing this (even before Apple relax their Emulator policies due to EU). Just one iOS 18 bug to report… my BT controller “connection” between delta and my SNES Pro 30 dies off after 30 mins of play. It’s strange, because iOS18 and the joypad still say it’s connected, just Delta is not receiveing input. No such issue on iOS17.6)

Great Emulator

It really works, but n64 emulation isn’t the best, and the game “The world ends with you” on the DS doesn’t work past 5 minutes

It works perfectly

Works perfectly, runs smoothly, and is super user-friendly. Additionally, you can use a controller for pretty much all the games as well. Couldn’t recommend this enough. This is definitely the best emulator on the App Store

Personally I Enjoy this emulator

One of my favourite emulators and can play variety of older consoles and I enjoy playing. I also wish to suggest in the future making a 3rd emulator on this app cause many more people would enjoy also having the option of using a 3ds emulator.

Now they just need to make ps1 and gamecube possible

Thats it
