Doesn’t work

It won’t read any of the game files useless app

New updates are downgrading quality

There use to be no ads. I was alright with the first update with some adds and, premium features like over 2x speed and some unique add ons, buts it’s progressively gotten worse. I use to be able to play and listen to my book or music and now that’s gone because the game throws an ad every time I slide my task menu down to start my book. I’m just ranting but it’s sad to see such a good app slowly decay from greed. The newest required add before you play is the latest in a series of poor development decisions that has caused me to write this review. Hope this can help the dev make some changes or someone make an informed decision.

Good, but the watch syncing needs work.

It’s a really good emulator but it lacks one thing, being able to play locally on the watch, whenever the phone is disconnected from the watch, you can’t access your games from the watch, so at that point it’s better to use your phone than the watch rendering the watch gameplay pointless.

Fix the a button in vertical mode

This is a really good gba emulator but my only problem with it is that the a button barely reads my inputs when it’s in vertical mode. Please fix that.
