Comments on RetroArch Plus for Android

★★★★☆ Jose Luis Mantilla · Nov 10, 2026

PS2 roms don't work with PCEE2 sadly yet, I don't want to use another app for this but RetroArch is good, unfortunately the PS2 is still failing, I see black screen even trying to load the core without PS2 bios. Roms with PS2 bios work perfectly with another android emulator, but I want to use RetroArch to avoid more apps.

Recently tried their nightly build and had latency. IMO this version has better performance and no latency. Missing MAME arcade, but I can play Mame on another SBC handheld!

★★★★☆ Brad Butts · Sep 3, 2026

Had the issue with save state failing and files not showing up. Uninstall/Reinstalled redownloaded the cores, everything is tickety boo.

Until I see a what the plus in the title is representing my own stable plus nightly conversion is the only plus I need

★☆☆☆☆ Brett Ramsey · Aug 25, 2026

Awful app now as everyone is complaining, completely ruined the app, looking elsewhere for one that actually functions

★★☆☆☆ Bapak · Sep 1, 2026

It was my go to for retro games, but I'm getting tired of updates causing me to have to start over after hours of playing through a game. The last update caused my ROMs not to load. So I backed up my saved game files to troubleshoot. After clearing data my ROM will load, but the game won't accept any of my save files. I can't continue from where I left off. Also, every time I close the app now all my settings go back to default.

★☆☆☆☆ Parable Codex · Aug 21, 2026

Thanks for destroying the best emulator through your updates. With the ability to save and use save states gone, the app became a waste of space. I'll look elsewhere.

★☆☆☆☆ Dmitry · Sep 26, 2025

Touchscreen controls have completely disappeared, nothing I can find online has answered how to recover it, shame the app fell through
