Reviews of RetroArch

  • Good for experienced emulator fanatics, but inexperienced players may need help understanding

    I have been around the emulator world for a while now and I enjoy and understand a lot about emulators. I tried getting some of my friends to start emulating games, and I taught them how to dump roms and gave them some devices to start dumping. However, what I didn’t expect, is that they didn’t know how to use the emulator. I am not saying there is anything wrong with the emulator, no, it is wonderful. I am just saying that if you are just starting out emulator, learn about it before you start. You need to know what roms, isos, bios, and all the different file types and names for different things are. Also, please don’t start pirating games. If yall start pirating, nintendo may get apple to take down the emulators. Get your roms from an actual cartridge, don’t just download off the internet. Anyway, tldr: learn what emulators are before you try to emulate. Don’t pirate games.
  • External storage

    Great app only Quam is you need need need to make external storages findable in the directory, some of us have 64 Gb.

    Copying the game from the drive to the iPhone is tedious it waste space, time, storage health and will require you to constantly delete games just to add other ones. (Depending on if your 64gb and less)

    If there is a way to change the downloads directory to the external drive and I’m just to moronic, please let me know developers I really enjoy this app existing.
  • 🫶

    People can nitpick and complain all they want about little issues here or there but I want to remind everyone just a few short months ago we were stuck playing nothing but MOBBAGE games. TY to the devs of these wonderful “tool” 😉programs bc they really work so amazing. Something inside of me warms up every time I boot up a classic I loved or missed/ didn’t get a chance to play. TYSM for brightening our AppStore with non p2w content. This really makes mobile feel like a valid gaming platform 🫶
