Comments on John NESS for Android

★★★★★ Brandon White · Oct 16, 2024
Just like with John GBA, this is the best android emulator for its systems (NES/SNES). Easy to use, easy to set up, It just works. Like I said with John GBA, I definitely wish there was a feature to add screen filters like CRT TV or scan-lines, and I would honestly pay extra for this as a feature. Much love to the John dev team, thank you for your excellent product.

Hi DEVS, for the next update please add an option to change the joystick arrow like the analog stick on a game console. And make the range as wide as possible, so that when playing some games such as arcade games or sports like basketball when running it doesn't stop when the thumb touch is too far. These options can be changed at any time, even in the middle of a game/match. Thankful for your attention :))

Paid for 'John SNES' which now is advising I don't have a license! E-mailed the author. - Still waiting for a response.
★☆☆☆☆ Eihab Najy · Jul 13, 2025
Very good emulator but I gave it 1 star only. It runs most NES games perfectly except for one! It cannot run "RoboCop 3" at all. I tried old versions and this version. It simply cannot run "RoboCop 3" and I don't know why! Can you see what's the problem with this game?
★★☆☆☆ Rafael · Jul 19, 2025
NES games don't even support MMC5 mapper, no support for FDS, no NES Zapper support (like w NES Nostalgia) no SNES Super Scope support, no SNES mouse support, emulator hasn't been properly updated in YEARS to add any features, emulator is only good because of the clean UI. Bare bones experience.
