I've been using this since it became RetroAchievements compatible, and this emulator works wonderfully as it is. Absolutely amazing emulator, highly reccomend! My only complaint is the lack of tilt controlls, but given that that's on the roadmap for this app, I'm willing to wait however long it takes to play games like "WarioWare: Twisted!" the way it was meant to be played!

amazing emulator with simple and clean ui. My only complaint is how you can't choose the screen orientation to be the same as your system orientation.
