Ratings and reviews

Generally pretty darn optimal and one of the best emulators on the market in terms of performance. However it is ABSURD that there's no way to set up analog triggers for touch screen controls unless you download third party software based off of Dolphin. Also having a weird issue where if I start a game with my bluetooth headphones, the audio is pitched down. Fixed by starting a game without headphones, then putting it on after.

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!

Best Emulator if you have a good mid/high range phone! I guarantee you're gonna love it! Just be sure if you maxed out the graphics settings, it'll make your phone overheat, massive stuttering, and huge frame drops in most games. So I suggest to experiment with the resolution (Native or 1x) and see which doesn't make the game drop to less than 60fps. 👍
