User reviews

Performance is horrible

Very awful performance. I know a iPhone 13 can handle jitless GameCube Emulation. ICube is proof.

crashes upon booting

Just doesn’t work, Wii and GCN support is lackluster. yet guy promoted it like hell on his X account.

Nothing but crashing

Haven’t even had a chance to use the emulator because every time I try to boot a game it crashes

GBDev Pro Paywall Bug & Other Issues

It was successful in loading games, but immediately after running them the app repeatedly keeps blocking you with its Pro paywall, which might I add doesn’t mention full gameplay as a guaranteed feature. The paywall can be closed, but it’ll keep cycling through pulling up the system’s menu for importing/loading games and then back to the paywall. Did experience no audio during initial runs, but might be related to certain games. App might still be in beta but even if I cared less about the audio, going to assume this app won’t be free for long.

About the emulator itself.

I know that it is still in early beta for what it appears to be from its design. There are some things that I need to take note of. First, most importantly, the layout buttons feel small that you can’t even adjust them even if you try (besides the screens), it would be cool to adjust the control sizes. Second, there seems to be a bit of some pauses when playing 3DS games on the emulator, presumably the loading screens. Not sure if this is an early feature or anything. I had heard some user talked about how some 3DS games wouldn’t work, maybe you can look into that perhaps? Finally, some features feel a bit unfinished, maybe still in beta? Overall, it’s a pretty decent emulator, just needed some bug fixes and some adjustments for the near future. Hope this message fits you well.
