  • Feature request

    Please allow for cheats. I would like evolve my Kadabra but have no way to other than to modify the save on my computer.
    I would also like to have the option of a joystick on the watch.
    Otherwise tremendous product.

  • Amazing emulator for both phone and watch!

    This is my go to emulator for both my phone and watch, great features like fast forward, slow down, save states between phone and watch, Digital Crown functionality, amazing work by the developer to get such a great emulator to work flawlessly on the Apple Watch!

  • Great Emulator!

    This works amazing for GBA. I love how simple the controls are, and how easy it was to import games and save files. It is easy to save game states and transfer them between iPhone and Watch. I also love being able to use the game in portrait and landscape. This is the emulator I was dreaming of, thank you! Well worth the money.
