Great emulator, I don't know if it's my phone, but the Ciara emulator for the Nintendo DS games is a little laggy

One thing for sure on majority of our PSP emulators for the ROMs actually and Nintendo Wii u with sometimes having problems with the Roms I signed up for memberships at some of these Google apps actually the Google web for more ROMs to see if they were working properly for our emulators it's like I've done both the God of war goes to Sparta so many times even in my lifetime still passing extra money to people when I shouldn't have to, but I enjoy the app of the emulators that you guys created.

Please make this where it doesn't use up internal phone storage when loading a big game. Maybe put Xbox PS2 and DOS on it

Has very nice settings and good classic emulation but almost everything is locked mostly it's a paid emulator

I wish I had known you can't save the game without having the paid version, total game breaker

Quick Load and a lot of save and load options no longer work as they should even on the paid version....

Will give a higher rating if alot of games would run smoother, it's jumping from 50 fps to 0 fps then after 5 or so mins it starts to bug out with sound cracking fps then drops to 30 fps to 0 fps. Realizing that you know you have to shut this app off, or it will close and bug out your screen.
