### 5/5 — Amazing just a few slight problems

*2026-06-18, version 2.3.2*

theres no problems to the emulation, just the control buttons for the genesis are too small and can blend in with the game. So it would be nice to be able to adjust the d-pad and button size and opacity. And a button to screenshot your gameplay.

### 1/5 — So close to good yet so far

*2026-02-19, version 2.3.1*

I was wanting to play sonic 3&knuckles but game constantly crashed

### 3/5 — Used to be good before new update

*2026-02-11, version 2.3.1*

I don’t know if it’s because of the new update or not, but this used to be a really good emulator, but now when I try to play my Genesis games, they lag, the sound is glitchy, and then after a bit it kicks me out of the game. Please fix! This is a good app.

### 4/5 — Its great but,

*2026-02-11, version 2.3.1*

After the new ubdate when Nintendo Ds fully came out i want to try Nintendo Ds games. The problem is that i tried the beta before which didnt work. Now I need to delete the older games to put a new one to the system. The delete button is just loading and doesnt work. Please fix it in the nearest ubdate.

### 5/5 — Ad boy stürzt ab

*2026-02-07, version 2.3.1*

Ich habe das neue iOS Update gemacht aber das wurde automatisch aktualisiert und nach dem Update konnte ich nicht mehr auf ad boy zugreifen bitte beheben sie diese Probleme da ich sehr auf die App mich gefreut habe.
Ich hoffe es wird in Zukunft besser

### 5/5 — iOS maj26 crash

*2026-02-06, version 2.3.1*

A quand une mise à jour pour ios26 ?? 🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

### 3/5 — Crash

*2026-02-05, version 2.3.1*

Crash on iPhone 17.
iOS 26.2.1.
It used to work perfectly before

### 5/5 — Amazing! To notch

*2026-02-03, version 2.3.1*

I have tried many others and they all have quite a few issues. The speed is quite good, no lag. Only hiccup playing games has been on DS with a few glitches but it does not impede gameplay. Audio has been on par with the actual cartridges. The one improvement would be key bindings. As some games don’t have in game settings to change buttons. Other than that this truly is a remarkable app 👍 10 stars if possible.

### 1/5 — Ne marche plus

*2026-01-31, version 2.3.1*

A chaque jeu lancé le jeux tourne 1 mn et se ferme

### 3/5 — Se me sale de la aplicación

*2026-01-28, version 2.3.1*

Juego y a los 2 minutos se me cierra la aplicación sola
