Ratings and reviews

I love the interface and all the options, but I have a couple requests. First, which I'm sure you get a lot, is link cable emulation (over network and NFC would be cool if it's even possible to do it that way). The second suggestion I'd have is to integrate Chromecast (or Google Cast if you'd prefer), so I wouldn't have to cast my whole screen to the TV. Other than that, it's great!

The app largely works well, however there is a quick load button on the screen that will load up your most recent save state. There is no secondary confirmation for this action, making it all too easy to accidentally lose progress in your game. Save your game frequently or you, like me, may lose days worth of progress. The next update to this game should either allow you to disable that button or add a confirmation to the action.

It has VISUAL BUGS (related to the VRAM of the gbc and the way it loads) creating visual aberrations on game... and the colors are oversaturated (I am 100% sure it is an issue of this emulator in specific because I tried another one here in my phone and it ran perfectly). Not worth paying for the app on this state of development.. I hope it gets better one day. Also... it asks for you to be ONLINE sometimes in order to confirm that you paid for the APP (extremely annoying)
