Awesome. Just tried out a few of my favorite games and everything works great so far.
โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Anthony P ยท Apr 4, 2026
After loading games that were saved, the game is frozen, and you have to reset the game. Otherwise, the app works pretty well but still I will request a refund since I can't get past my saves. Another feature is they need to add the ability to enter cheats or open multiple instances.
