Great stuff, just needs some tweaks

I personally love this app!!! I finally get to play some 3DS games I couldn’t play or even afford as a kid!! But there are some things that need fixin, mostly the gameplay. It’s definitely good but it is laggy as hell. I could barely get through one cutscene without the whole thing being so laggy. Could ya please fix it to where it can handle that sort of stuff

What I thought it was

I thought it would allow me to play 3DS, PS1, NDS and GBA games but I can’t find any games for some reason and I have no idea where to find them or if there are actually any games
