Not very useful when a full ROM set can be over 1000 files. Seems odd to have to do this import anyway - why not just use an app folder that’s scanned on launch like so many other apps do? ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-01-03, version 1.7.1* Uses iCloud to be free from storing games on iPad . Very good emulation on iPad. I tried on apple tv with icloud on works as default user on Apple TV. On Apple TV :) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-12-26, version 1.7.1* Uses iCloud to be free from storing games on iPad . Very good emulation . tried on apple tv with icloud on but games dont appear on apple tv . ### 5/5 — Works well when it works *2025-12-20, version 1.7.1* I used the Mac version of the app to place the ROMS I wanted in iCloud. After a few moments the cover art appeared on first the Mac, then the Apple TV. However it is a bit uneven when the roms appear. Many of the SNES ones still have not, even though the Mac says they have been uploaded to the cloud. Unlike Retroarch you can at least quit out of a game to get back to the menu on this one using a Nimbus controller. ### 5/5 — Great Emulator *2025-10-19, version 1.7.1* Could we get N64 Support? ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-09-25, version 1.7.1* No instructors whatsoever. Rooms not load ### 1/5 — Redddit Cashgrab and Ditched after a month *2025-08-31, version 1.7.1* Don’t buy this garbage It’s glitchy worthless trash. ## Frequently asked questions about Consoles ### What does the Consoles app do?
