This is the best emulator on andriod I have ever used, hands down. Not only does this let you play both SNES and NES games it has an amazing saving and loading system. Obviously you can save to a number of slots and load anytime. But there's tweaks to it. You can load from last continuation. If you accidentally load a file you can go right back to where you were. You have a quicksave button and a quickload one. You can adjust the display and controls. There's even cloud save. The Best emulator.

My issues are 3* but the programs are stellar for what they are (5*) I had bought all of the original "JOHN" players (NES, SNES, GBA) a very longntime ago and found out they no longer work and had to download new emulators and possibly buy them again to get rid of the ads.... not cool. To make everything worse, my 8BITDO SN30 PRO cant be button mapped/detected because it isnt in the list of allowed bluetooth joysticks. Can you please add my joystick to the roster, PLEASE!

Comes with nes+snes emulators and works great but has the same on screen control problem of movement pad being so spaced it often misses inputs, especially with faster games but still a great find for emulation with a quick save/load right on screen, gamepad compatible, and did I mention 2n1 emulation? Now if only he could combine this with his gb/gbc one for a full collection. Gba might be too much as it may be less compatible with whats established. Support Dev!
