Ratings and reviews

Wish there was a way to manually choose where the memory card is stored. Until then, this app gets 3 stars. I would love to use my memory card files from my desktop emulator, but nope. Please let us choose the directory for the memory card. With something like OneDrive or DropBox, this would allow for cloud saves. That would be perfect for Dolphin! Android can be frustrating with allowing apps to access storage on your device, so I get not having it yet. But someday!

Just the fact that I have to set profiles for specific controllers instead of just games is inconvenient. Some triggers and analog sticks have different names for some reason? The motion control emuation can be very awkward as well. One level out of everything in SMG2 I have to shake my phone instead of buttons I mapped for some reason, buttons do not work whatsoever in that specific level

I absolutely love Dolphin! The user-interface looks amazing and is easy to use. Performance is great and it keeps getting better every update! However, certain games like Super Mario Galaxy have frame drops and audio stretches in certain areas of gameplay. But I'm sure the issues I'm having will soon be fixed! Keep up the good work Devs!
