Comments on EmuMD XL for Android

★★★★★ iliya slavchev · Aug 9, 2023
Absolutely love the minimalistic design - best SEGA MD emulator. Works flawlessly with a Bluetooth controller. Paid for it gladly. Thank you developer!
★★★★☆ Ramin Naderi Shahi · Jun 2, 2023
Everything is great, just please add option to configure the keys. Mostly if we use a game pad to play, and can configure buttons. Thank you!
★★★★☆ Стас Букоткин · Sep 3, 2023
Could not use it because there's no option for upside down landscape. My game pad holds the phone the only upside down way. Why not just make it work with system auto-rotate?
★★★★★ Sathi Das · Oct 3, 2025
Good!!!!!!!!!!! It is the best that I can play sonic games and is Sega emulator for android I like it it mega drive emulator for everyone and thanks to pentawire.
★★★★☆ Darwin Horton · Sep 30, 2023
Good but there are some features I would like added: I wish you could manualy map your controller and have hotkeys which you can use such as l1 for turbo and when I go onto the setting menu I would like the emulation to pause but guess I can pause the game myself, and it's a nice feature I can open the menu with y, overall good emulator would recommend
★☆☆☆☆ Valid Until · Nov 16, 2023
Genuinely only thing that works on this app is the adverts, 2 roms tried and not even tested as the app does not emulate any megadrive roms
★☆☆☆☆ Cruz Ramos · Jun 8, 2024
This sucks I can't play my sonic crackers it keeps on crashing
★☆☆☆☆ Richie Shoults · Apr 1, 2026
This app is literally to collect your personal data and sell it to over 200 different shady third party companys. Sketchy af
★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Q · Oct 4, 2025
No ability to customize button layout when using a physical controller. Can't set it to scan a given folder and register all games in the folder. They claim they don't collect or sell your data, but the first thing you do is go through a REALLY long list of permissions for them to collect and sell your data. Played for about an hour and got 1 ad, the only reason I didn't give this app 1 star
