Used to be great. But I was bamboozled. I paid for the original "John NES" emulator. But the dev disabled the orignal and a notification popped up saying download the new "John NESS" emulator. This app pops up ads anytime you change a setting, load a game, save a save state, or open a save state. I paid for the original app because I didn't want ads and now here I am, seeing tons of ads. šŸ˜’

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.

Well it's a Nes and Snes emulator at one and I'm happy for it. This is a best emulation to play classic Nes and Snes. But the problem is that I found a bug. When you crash the emulator and restart, somehow it does not select a rom to play. It got bugged so I uninstall and reinstall the emulator. I don't know why it crash. It is because of my phone? So I hope it fixes. Btw great emulator.
