★★★★★Stephen Barker· Jun 30, 2025
It's a really good app. I use it primarily on my S4 tablet and runs well. To people leaving bad reviews saying no games are included lol you have to source the roms yourself and learn about emulation. Great app very happy.

10/10 AWESOME EMULATOR! High compatibility, well maintained with the main branch of mame, and offers very smooth gameplay for high to mid-range phones! The only thing I would like to see fixed in the future is Virtual Racing emulation, because even though it works well on PC, it doesn't render the track on Android! All in all, great emulator, and highly recommended if you want some arcade action! EDIT: VIRTUA RACING IS FINALLY FIXED, THANK YOU!! I DON'T NEED TO DEAL WITH THE STANKY 32X PORT!!!

I have a few Emulators (3 consoles) on my phone, no problem creating a folder for my roms and telling the Emulator app where to look. This app asks me for some wild path I can't create. I think I gotta connect my phone to a pc. ended up deleting it and sticking to my consoles

I use the other app solely for the net play and this kept plugging in, so I installed it, and it had no net play :(, one way to implement replay would be to have the game run on host and stream the video over to the client and send the input to the host, kind of clunky but with a hotspot 5ghz you can get this down to 5-20ms latency.

Two issue I have. One I can't stop the menu from popping up when I touch the screen even though every option for it is disabled. Cannot play light gun games with the touch feature because the menu just high jacks everything. The second is there's a zero way to set up the second analog stick for games that need it. It sets it as just buttons instead of another analog. This needs to be fixed.

Does not work. I have 2 Game&Watch games (e.g. gnw_octopus) with roms and artwork .zip files that work on MAME desktop (0.264). I put the .zip files in a mame folder on external storage and configure the app to use that folder but no game was listed. The app thinks that Octopus is unavailable.
★★☆☆☆Román Rodríguez· Dec 29, 2025
Too complex I struggle to even load a game I saved on a folder I really don't understand the interface, and in new android is not possible to access android/data folder UI is not very friendly imo, so I end up uninstalling and trying something else
