Comments on NESDroid for Android

★★★★★ Just like the actual NES! This is perfect! Only issue is you need to update ASAP to have zap gun support. But it works with no problems!

★★★★★ This app is a great emulator. The only problem I've found was that when I'm playing a game and open the small menu and select an option that brings up a screen and return to my game, the visuals completely disappear. Like, the audio and button interactions still works, but the whole screen is jst empty. To fix it, I have to close the emulator screen and open the .nes file again... Otherwise, this is a great app!

★★★★★ Way better than any of the pc NES emulators. Perfect performance and sound on my end. Absolutely worth the purchase.

★★★★★ Only NES Emu that works with Six axis! Only NES emulator that I've found that works properly with Six axis PS3 controller input using the Six axis app. Works great! Playing on Droid Charge.

★★☆☆☆ Horrible resizing the buttons is a mess when I want to resize it either does nothing or try's to move it when I want to move it it resizes it so small I can't change it DoesN'T BUY ! I IMMEDIATELY REGRET IT ! WISH I BOUGHT A GAME ON STEAM INSTEAD !

★★☆☆☆ Works with all of my roms but... Controls are so unresponsive that the games are almost unplayable. By rezound with ics
