Ratings and reviews

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?

It keeps telling me I need to grant it permissions, but when I looked, it says no permissions are needed. I literally can't give it permissions. I will be requesting a refund because for the life of me, I can't get it to work. No matter how many reddit posts and youtube videos I search, I can't figure it out. It simply loads some weird pacman thing anytime I want to load a game. If the team that made this can help, i will buy it again and change my rating.

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!!! :-) 😀
