Enjoying the nostalgia. I used a similar app on my old Samsung S3. I upgraded to premium immediately and loving it so far. Developer quick to respond. I didn't realize you needed to long press the watch face to access the menu instead of the back button. Would love if the watch crown rotation could be mapped to functions. Rotate for L and R or quick save and load.

I'll take a look and see if there's some sort of double input happening with the back button. I typically have that set as my app change button so I don't think I'm tested that before. I'll get back to you. EDIT: Confirmed. I'll have a fix out in the next update. In the meantime, the intended pause menu access method is to long press the center.

gameboy on watch exactly as advertised, I was suprised how well the developer handled the on screen controls. I planned on using a controller because I didnt think on screen controls on a watch would even be possible, but somehow the developer made it usable and intuitive. -- how do I move save files around? pro version?

Game Boy on my Watch 7. Childhood dream realized. It's surprisingly functional: Good pallette options, control overlay can be dimmed, resized, and even made invisible. The screen itself can be resized and sound toggled easily. So far, I can't think of anything else I would want on a SmartWatch Game Boy Emulator.
