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!

The standard button makes controls don't work for my controller, but when I create and initialised a new profile that matches, it is only set as deadshot for that session. that means I have to do that every time I pay and that's not worth the hassle. I will never use this again and would therefore love a refund. (emulator use for around half an hour)

Games run great, but... My inputs on my controller which worked fine for a day or so randomly changed. My A button was opening the emulator menu, no changes were saving when I tried to correct. Deleted controller profiles, nothing worked. Deleted and reinstalled emulator and that worked for about 15 minutes. I use this blue tooth controller for several emulators and have never had this issue so I'm sure it's not the controller.
