Ratings and reviews

I am unable to open/play any file. I set the folder and give permissions to open files but when I select any file I am always getting error that file does not exist. Sent an email to support with screenshot but no reply for more than 1 week. I won't get any support.

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.

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.

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
