Ratings and reviews

While it works great and the ads aren't too bad, PLEASE give us the option to relocate controller buttons. The Start button is too far to the left in landscape mode, it keeps bringing up the options menu, super annoying. Almost all touchscreen emulators allow players to rearrange the buttons, so it definitely feels missing here. I have a problem where it's not updating the save when I save in-game, no save data available when the rom is booted. Using save states instead for now.

Hey developers, this could have been a five out five if it weren't for one missing feature that would be nice even if I had to pay for it. The layout should be customizable. The user doesn't expect that the settings button will be pushed on accident and thus interrupting the game play. The original controller for sega genesis didn't have this button and it would be nice to be able to move it to a less disrupting location. Not everyone has the same size hand size and screen dimensions either.

It's a shame because the controls are nice, the visual dot makes it easy to control, but it's really awful that you can't map them or move around, you can't evem make them transparent. Very few options, the audio sounds bad and I can't press the start button, it just doesn't work. With a few more tweaks, adding more settings and better quality this could be the best emulator.
