Improvements

An important detail are the up, down, right and left keys that characterize old cell phones, which should be added to the application since there are games that need them to work.

Doesn’t work well

Wanted to play an old game I got running on my phone (android). Downloaded the same files from the same website I used on my phone so I can promise you it’s not the game that is the problem. This app has no navigation buttons when in the game so you can’t select anything. Completely useless unless I want to stare at a game title screen the whole time.

Not even bare bones

Will not save at all. Not normally and no save states at all. Sounds in all games I tried doesn’t work either. If you want the bare minimum it is okay I guess, the paid version just adds some lame screen overlays and controller skins. Thought that save states might be pay walled, but nope. DO NOT BUY UNTILL THESE BASIC ISSUS ARE FIXED!
