GOATED APP

This app is amazing. The only problems I’ve ran into is a bit of lag on 3ds games, but other than that everything runs phenomenally! One thing I would like is GameCube, PS2/3, Xbox, and Wii support. Amazing app, devs!

Great Emulator

Loving this! However please add an option of a joystick in portrait mode for NDS skins.

Great

All my ps1 gba nes and more work!

PLEASE ADD GAME CUBEEEEE

This is the best emulator in the whole app store like you can play dream cast play station even 3ds and ds so please add it

Amazing quality as for now(Update)

I have just started playing and the app was so easy to use, all you had to do was download your own rom and insert the file and youre all set, the app does literallly all the rest for you

UPDATE: alright after a while using this app its really solid and amazing app, only complaint is that it sometimes slows down the gameplay whenever anything external happens(eg. text message recieved or call recieved) but otherwise its a great app
