### 4/5 — Decent emulator microphone option needs to get fixed

*2026-07-16*

Love the emulator really nice ui, would just prefer to have the microphone option work, currently it does not work AT ALL.

**Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted that you generally enjoy Retro Pal. ☺️​

About the microphone: in DS games, holding the on-screen MIC button sends a simulated blow to the game. That covers blow-based actions, but the app does not yet capture real audio from your iPhone's microphone, so anything voice-based will not respond. 

We plan to add a dedicated microphone input, which will be available soon. Could you please email us at support@retropal.fr with a detailed description of your issue and your needs so we can better understand the situation? This would allow us to prioritize this feature and provide a solution in the next update. 

Thanks for your help Kennikek. 🙏​

### 5/5 — The best emulator on iOS!

*2026-08-29*

Easiest time I’ve ever had setting up an emulator. Great all around experience.

**Developer response:** Glad you mention it, because it's the whole point of Retro Pal. 🙏
Thank you for taking the time to write a comment.
