The only NES emulator you'll need and love! I switched over to this after John NES stopped being updated and crapped the bed. Now I'm gonna do the same with the Gameboy and SNES ones! This is hands down the best emulator experience I've had. Controller mapping and utilization is a dream, love the rewind feature you can map as opposed to a button on the screen. No issues with setting up folders or running anything. Absolute joy to use and worth the fiver!

Really well put together and easy to navigate. All the author's emulators I've gotten have a similar GUI which is great. Nothing is overly complicated and makes for a great NES experience.

Emulation appears to work very well, but it doesn't seem to support the NES classic Bluetooth controllers. Paid for the app hoping to be able to play on my phone using a NES controller.
