• Link cable emulation either on the same device, or across devices over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

• High-level BIOS emulation. No BIOS file needed.
• IPS/UPS ROM patching
• OpenGL rendering backend, as well as normal rendering on devices without a GPU.
• Cool video filters through the support of GLSL shaders.
• Fast-forward to skip long stories, as well as slow down games to get past a level you cannot in normal speed.

Ratings and reviews

this was my go to for a while when playing games, but I had to stop playing Pokemon Red Rescue Team because of a save issue. it would never save the game, and a portion of the game requires you to save to advance. that was years ago and I come back. I can't save my data, no matter how I set it up. which means I have to restart every time. if you can't save data, the app is kind of worthless. Is there some secret to saving fame data?

For some reason, ever since I updated the app, it keeps showing up as an app running in the background, when I run my background task killer app to free up RAM, even though I almost never use this app. It just starts running by itself for some reason. It was a good emulator all these years, but I think I'll uninstall it since I don't appreciate that it keeps opening itself in the background in my task manager.

I LOVE this emulator, but I have one suggestion that I think would make it even better if it's something that's even possible to do : Make it so that, when in fast forward mode, the game you're playing is in fast forward, but the game's music stays at 1x speed. I LOVE the pokemon music like, A LOT, but I have to play without sound because I can't stand playing in regular speed due to how slow everything is in pokemon games, and the game music is an absolute hearape in fast forward.
