Ratings and reviews

In general, these emulators have always been stellar. Unfortunately, this one and nes.emu have given me issues lately. I run both on a nividia shield tv. I experience lag in my controller input when using an Xbox one controller. For instance:Contra (Nes.emu) there is noticeable input lag when you jump. Super Castlevania (Supernes9x) There is noticeable input lag when you jump. Everything was fine before I updated Robert's emulators recently. I don't know if it's a Shield issue or the emulator.

Terrible experience. The emulator will frequently wipe the .srm file (the save file) causing you to lose your saved data for a game. The first time it happened to me I figured it was because I didn't properly close out of the app/game. The 2nd time I thought it had to do with the terrible autosave feature (another gripe). The 3rd time was a deal breaker. I had turned autosave off and it still wiped the .srm file. Issue hasn't been fixed in years. DO NOT RECCOMEND. Better off getting Retroarch.

EDIT 2/7/25: For the most part, it works great with most of my favorite SNES games. However, adding to the issue I first raised 2 yrs ago re the autosaves/savestates function/menu, there's been a chronic issue with in-game saves (.srm files) not being read even if they're being actively written to. This has forced me to use manual savestates to access any progress saved within the game. It seems to only affect .smc games; .sfc games' in-game saves do work properly. Devs, please investigate this.
