I am changing my review. I was originally pretty upset that I couldn't figure out how to get the games on here. But I watched a number of YouTube tutorials, and after a lot of headaches, and downloading an an extractior, I got it to work. It plays the games well, but finding the games. There needs to be some kind of explanation how to use this thing included along with all the other information it includes.

Its functional & works well. What would make it better is if it had a built-in trainer so you can find cheats. Every Lynx Rom that I tested works perfectly. I especially love Zarlor Mercenary, Ninja Gaiden, Rampage, & California Games. I'm glad to know that Lynx games won't be left to the dust bin of video game history.

I just almost cried when I saw this and bought it within seconds of seeing it. All my roms work including hacked roms. Only thing missing from the list now is the Jaguar emu. His emus Better than every other emu on the app store. I'm buying all the apps from this guy. This person is on my list of favorite humans for bringing my childhood back to life. Thank you.

What’s new

* Add a rewind button to the stock top-left virtual controls and only the show the rewind button when rewind states are set in the system options
* Add Options -> Frame Timing -> Low Latency Mode to keep the emulation thread in sync with the renderer thread to prevent extra latency, turned on by default but trying turning off in case of performance issues
* Default to the screen's reported refresh rate as the output rate if the device supports multiple rates
