Comments on 2600.emu (Atari 2600 Emulator) for Android
★★★★★Ian Botterill· Nov 29, 2024
2600 emus is the best Atari 2600 emulator around. Plays a26 and bin roms with great emulation. 5 🌟

Sleek and refined, but light on options for the virtual controls. An option to use a slider for paddle controls or a simple bar you can drag your finger on for the driving controller (like the paddle controller but spins infinitely) would be great. I would bump it up to five stars for those things alone.

No Sound Games play nice and smooth, but no sound at all. Using M9C MAX Android TV Box, S905x, Mali 450 GPU. Fixed audio problems by lowering the Audio Rate to something lower than 48khz. Now giving 5 stars for a perfect emulator.

I am unable to open/play any file. I set the folder and give permissions to open files but when I select any file I am always getting error that file does not exist. Emailed support with screenshot but no reply for more than 1 week. I won't get any support.
★★☆☆☆John Talbot· Dec 14, 2024
This feels limited compared to his other apps. No paddle mapping at all, and there is a bt controller (Atari Wireless Classic) with a built-in paddle that would work perfectly. 3 stars though, because as mentioned, I can't even map them to a slider, or use an original paddle set with an adapter. Paddle mapping, and support for paddle controllers would bump it up to 5. Edit: Dropped it to 2 because I noticed the app desc. Is lying. NO paddle mapping AT ALL.

Does not work. Tried with multiple ROMs which work fine in other emulators and if I'm lucky I get buzzing and vertical lines of random colors. Need a refund.
