doesn't work. I have all the original xbox files on a snapdragon elite chip with 16gb of ram. all files are xiso and whenever i try to boot any game the app just crashes. I cant even get a refund. straight up robbery. Edit. after last update the games boot now but there seems to be poor optimization with the emulator. thank you for keeping in contact izzy. no refund needed. I see you are updating the app constantly. Thank you for your hard work and keep at it!

I'll give you a refund. Email me at izzynochill@gmail.com, you can also get support from me there. I have a discord also, but just ask for a refund. I don't know why it isn't working for you.

it's not great yet but the fact I can load games at all on a 5yr old mid tier phone is a good start every mobile emulator has been rough at the start I'm hopeful it will get better. Hopefully the devs will be able to optimize it a bit more, but for now don't expect smooth or even particularly playable game play on anything less than top tier devices. My weak little galaxy A23 gets about 5-10fps for most titles I've tried so far but for a junk phone not to bad lol

"meh" experience thus far, but keen for thr future. have tested 81 titles thus far (all will display the standard green loading logo... then crash / hard lock device -- galaxy s23 ultra) hoping in months to come for major improvements, I generally dont like throwing money at things that havent been tested before launch but ill gamble this time <3
