Ratings and reviews

pretty good 5/5 wish it would save difficulty switches (left/right player B/A switch) per game. and if possible have built in database of game select variations/combinations (1 player, 2 player, slow missle, fast missle) for officially released games atleat. but that might be alot of work, sorry. still very good anyway 5/5😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😎🤠🐢 big dpad makes it easy to control on touch screen.🤠😎🐢

Sleek and refined, but light on options for the virtual controls. An option to use a slider for paddle controls or a simple bar you can drag your finger on for the driving controller (like the paddle controller but spins infinitely) would be great. I would bump it up to five stars for those things alone.

I gave this app 5 stars only because it enables me to play the old Atari games. However, it should work with all the games, but I found that some which require paddle or keyboard controllers don't seem to work. If there is an option for this within the app, I have no idea how to access it. I hope the program developer will make it possible to play other games besides the ones that are joystick types.

What’s new

* Fix select rectangle not appearing on menus with a single item since 1.5.80
* Fix Bluetooth scan menu item incorrectly shown by default on Android 4.2+ devices that already have HID gamepad support
