Ratings and reviews

I had to dock a star. I have loved this emulator for years. Ever since the last update the cheats have not worked. I put the zip file in my downloads folder and in my ROMs folder. Still not getting the cheats option in the menu. When I use my original iNes it works and syncs up and everything. I have not updated the app on my other device and it works fine. Hope there is an update soon to fix the cheat glitch.

something's going on with the performance it's very poor on newer devices. I pulled out my old Nexus 6 as a test and performance is much better on the older device versus my new s25 Edge. frames dropping all over the place and audio skipping. performance is not high enough to even do fast forward.. some additional information. I can see no difference in toggling the Hardware acceleration toggle. does this program use Vulcan?

Still enjoying this emulator for 2+ years now. I still consider it a top-notch app, if not the best. Please continue to update and support it through 2025 & beyond. you have a fan of your work in me!!! :-) 😀
