I don't understand why you're not allowed to queue multiple core downloads at once, on PC you can queue up every single core on the list, so you can do something else while you wait for the downloads to finish, here it makes you wait until one is fully installed before it lets you select another turning a 5-minute process into 30+ minutes even though it lets you queue up the other updates. Makes no sense. Really, there should be a "download all cores" option both here and on PC, no reason not to.

A decent emulator all in one app, with achievements, NES and SNES can take a challenge to get all trophies. Best games, Contra, Super C, B-Wings, Mega Man 1 to 6 and more. But it doesn't run the arcade games like D & D Tower of Doom, because it's my nostalgia arcade game. Anyway, still 5 stars and thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Terrible UI and controls, i genuinely just wanted to play Sonic but anything I do I have to look for 10 tutorials on YouTube for JUST ONE SETTING. Let's go through the issues: The emulator preset for when you install it has ENORMOUS text on its UI, NO EXPLANATION FOR ANYTHING when I would barely understand with a tutorial, WAY YYY TOO MANY OPTIONS. It feels like it's attacking the user, leaving only those who are used to it, killing beginners.

Very outdated, it's better to download the APK from the website of this app.

Guys please download the app from website, the app from play store doesn't have like half of the cores and whenever I launch a game it crashes, the app from website works way better.

Please remove this version if it's not updated or not planned to be maintained. To anyone wondering. Just get the app from droid store

Totally waste of time, use only if you really MUST but peeper that it can crash in every moment, and you need master degree to run even easiest machines. Forgot about doing anything with on-screen controls, forgot about safety of your saves, it is even problem with plug in pad after reconnecting. And do not forget about warnings about safety during installation version from their website (which looks like some kind of spam farm).
