Lowkey the BEST One

This is like the only one I’ve seen that lets you customize your buttons which is strange I mean that’s like bare minimum like I’m just tryna play Sonic gng. It also lets you add rom hacks which is very cool. Anyways I have two suggestions that I hope you listen to. First please make it so we can also change the button SIZE too. I would also like a “Hold Button” feature for games like Mario or Donkey Kong, it might as well be mandatory.

Also I’m tryna play Paper Mario 64 and there are a lot of graphical bugs and slowdown areas. And I mean ONLY here, cause I tested it on Delta and the graphics were fixed. DC game are also surprisingly just as laggy if not moreso than 3DS for some reason.

Joy Emulator

Amazing emulation it’s a bit laggy at times but that just causes of the device, as well as freezes frequently when playing a bit heavier titles but other than that it an amazing experience especially with a controller of some sorts emulates a wide variety of games I wish the save state was paid but most of the games have there own saves

Not to shabby

I’m playing on my iPhone 16 and all the systems seem to work almost perfectly (it’s emulation, it can never be perfect). The N64 can even emulate, Star Wars rogue, squadron and body harvest two games I thought impossible to play on an emulator, but speed issues seem to plague the dream cast on mirror but I’ve not tried to many DC games. Of course, all the 16 bit and lower games work perfectly as well, even game boy advanced games, which I found are difficult to emulate on the iPhone, great emulator highly recommended!
