Ratings and reviews

Not usable on my Anbernic rg477v black model. launches games well enough after completing all the setup steps, which were kind of a hassle. launching halo, doom 3, half life 2 is fine. I can get these games to the start screen. but trying to play any of them is like 1 frame per second sluggish jittery mess. Just not playable at all.

Runs just about as well as what is on GitHub and I'm playing on the 12gb Retroid Pocket 6. I decided to pay to help support the developer because I have hopes for this emulator. I have only tried two game Panzer Dragoon Orta and Voodoo Vince (my fave). Orta runs smoothly with no graphical errors. Voodoo Vince on other hand has graphical problems from the start. GitHub version can allow me to play but not see Vince, Play Store version plays intro but lags to the point of freezing afterwards.

Running this on Retroid Pocket 5 and most games still struggle even with the lowest settings (Halo, Half life 2, Doom 3, Baldurs Gate - Dark Alliance etc) . In comparison the Pocket 5 has no issues running emulators for GameCube, WII and even PS3. Looking forward to the developers making improvements so I can change my rating.
