One of the best emulators with lots of features but sadly most of them are for money, and I wish you could download old games too.

The emulation is amazing so far but the d-pad sucks, I would like to have it where even if your finger slips out of it, it still holds the button until the finger releases, also the diagonals have these small spaces between them and the four directions, meaning you have to be more precise with them when slipping your finger or when tapping them, and it's really annoying, I'd like to be able to slip my finger diagonaly more easily to trigger it, you know, like a real, analog d-pad.

This Emulator is Garbage and Cannot Play Genesis black screen app is very clunky but This Emulator is nothing but rubbish there's no single emulator that's good since Gen Plus Droid is delisted for newer devices and MD.emu is a paid app

Too often the app crashes making the save file usseles having to play all over again. I have a rom where I can't keep playing because eveytime I start a run in the game it freezes and I can't advance
