Ratings and reviews

Wish there was a way to manually choose where the memory card is stored. Until then, this app gets 3 stars. I would love to use my memory card files from my desktop emulator, but nope. Please let us choose the directory for the memory card. With something like OneDrive or DropBox, this would allow for cloud saves. That would be perfect for Dolphin! Android can be frustrating with allowing apps to access storage on your device, so I get not having it yet. But someday!

Love this app, really the best and possibly still only one available for what it does. Having said that, I wish save states carried over between updates. I'm sure there has to be a way to do this, because no other emulators I've used have this issue. I primarily use this for tactics games while I have a few minutes of downtime on commute or things like that, so it sucks to have a day off, try to pick it back up mid map, only to have my progress lost.

Frustrating and needlessly Obtuse, but it works for some games. The PSP emulator instantly registers two seperate Joycons as viable, and it works out of the gate. This will not work with two joycons on the phone... the app can only register one at a time. So you can play Smash Melee with a single joycon on the phone, but not both. Also, don't bother with most wireless controllers, as they don't work on Emukators. Touch screen control is worthless dogs#!t, and doesn't even justify its existence.
