Seems to run and work fine. Though there is a serious lack in settings. Just needs the ability to adjust the position of on screen buttons, choose to not auto save and to have manual save states, maybe ability to have scaling etc. Once it gets(idk if they plan on that or not, it's still pretty new) the basic functions most other emulators have it could be a pretty cool emulator. Nice work though so far. Would like to give it more stars but, lack of features really hurt an emulators use.

Thank you for the feedback. Our last update, version 80, includes the ability to restart the console. This will let you resort to manual in-game saves if you prefer to do that instead.

Basic and bad user experience. It has no options to change anything, so if something doesn't work, you can't do anything about it. Useless with my Gamesir G8 Galileo, every click on the analog sticks (R3 and L3) would open the app menu, basically making it useless, this is not a normal behavior for the controller in other apps. Un intuitive and bad access to save states.

Hi there, sorry you're having issues, but we appreciate the extra information. We've acquired a G8 for testing, and were able to reproduce and fix your issue. A fix is included in version 72. You can force an update with the 'check for updates' button in the settings tab. Thanks again for your patience, and happy gaming!

Sorry you're having issues. Save states work automatically, and the emulated system also has two memory cards if you prefer to use that. Please send us an email at support@emulationonline.com so we can help you.
