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!

Love this app, really the best and possibly still only one available for what it does. Having said that, I wish save states carried over between updates. I'm sure there has to be a way to do this, because no other emulators I've used have this issue. I primarily use this for tactics games while I have a few minutes of downtime on commute or things like that, so it sucks to have a day off, try to pick it back up mid map, only to have my progress lost.
