Comments on RetroArch Android for Android

★★★★★ Great all-in-one emulator! This is amazing, but is it possible to smoothen the graphics on Play Station 1 games like other PS1 emulators (maybe add more rendering options) ? And can you could get control settings to save so you don't have to do it over again every time? Otherwise than that great app!

★★★★★ Great app. Best emu ever. Works great for me and has plenty of different emulators. Totally free, no ads, and no iap. If you are going to download an emulator, this is definitely the best one out there.

★★☆☆☆ Still very rough around the edges This has lots of promise, but unfortunately is very poorly implemented at this point. For example, when playing on an NVidia Shield, you cannot change the mappings of the buttons for the cores, either as a group, or individually. You're stuck with the mappings that the developer thought worked best. Unfortunately for cores like the PCE core, this results in buttons III and IV being mapped to L3 and L4 instead of X and Y. There is no way to change it. Certain cores are unable to be forced into full screen mode. For example, picodrive only plays SMS with both horizontal and vertical black bars. Very poor documentation; no listing of what the shaders do, etc. Even if you look at their PDF, it only states that they came from the PS3 version. No way to know what they do without trying each and every one. On the plus side, on my shield it runs basically every game at full speed. Not sure how it runs on less powerful devices.

★★☆☆☆ Nope I love the variety but you failed to do one thing, and that's to make a good emulator. There needs to be more time put into this, not just add a bunch of emulators. Not even my tablet can run any of these very good.

★★☆☆☆ Very poor snes emulation I am using a HTC One. Snes emulation stutters and lags so bad it is unplayable even after adjusting every option available. It seems like updates aren't tested on android at all, often breaking more than they fix, such as save states not loading. Other bugs go unaddressed forever. Such as the back button, if set to bring up the menu, will stop working if I turn my screen off while a game is running. All in all a poorly coded mishmash of emulators. Nice that they are all bundled, but I can't recommend.

★★☆☆☆ doesn't work the game won't load even after i downloaded the binary file into the folder,the same message appears,dnt waste ur time on this app
