Ratings and reviews

The emulator is fine, and the games run smoothly and look great, but the save states don't work. Manual or automatic. Maybe I'm the one doing something wrong, but I doubt it. I played 3 games yesterday and made save states for all of them, and this morning, none of them are there. Pretty bummed. Otherwise, everything else works.

Very good! I am able to find and play loads of classic old arcade shoot em up games with fantastic pixel art.works great with retroBluetooth controller. If I could ask for 1 feature. Screenshot to rom cover. The list of ROMs has no pictures in menu as default. Just ROM titles. It would be great if you could screenshot part of the game as cover art for the ROM. There is already screenshot option to save as external image. It should automatically just also use the same image as menu ROM cover art.

This is the absolute best and only PCE emulator I've found that actually work on my android phone. Not only does it play Turbografx games, it also plays Supergrafx CD games as well. Optimal sound quality, video quality and game play 👌 there is honestly no better application out there. You just need to have a bios to play Supergrafx CD games which was honestly easy to find and to get working. I never owned this console as a kid so this gave me a chance to play games I missed out on.
