Will not work on my android tv. It does nothing when I try and give it access to any external storage. ***Response to dev*** There are . gba files there. I've been using emulators for a very long time, I know exactly what I'm doing. Your app sees the external card, but when I click on grant access it does absolutely nothing! ***response*** I tried that already. I placed the gba Roms onto the files folder located within the apps data folder, and it still won't read.

I had to dock a star. I have loved this emulator for years. Ever since the last update the cheats have not worked. I put the zip file in my downloads folder and in my ROMs folder. Still not getting the cheats option in the menu. When I use my original iNes it works and syncs up and everything. I have not updated the app on my other device and it works fine. Hope there is an update soon to fix the cheat glitch.

I only have Android 10 devices here (not Android 11) and the Downloads folder worked for me during testing. Will retest to see if I missed anything.

What happened to the $2.99 I paid?! Why'd the price go up?! Not cool guys. 4 stars cuz of that. Now for the real review..... The emulator is amazing. You get all your ROMs in one easy to access library-style place! Fully customizable control interface with cool skins, resizing and more! Screenshots for your most recent savestates! An in-depth GG/GS/AR cheat code library for all your favorite games! Video filters. Audio enhancements. Easy-to-navigate menus. Enjoy VGBAnext! :D

If you've paid for the emulator, you have it in your Google Play library, whatever the current price might be. If you have the proof of purchase (emailed receipt), but Google Play still offers you to purchase the app, the best course of action would be to contact Google Play support and complain about it.
