★★★★★Gamer-X 2.0· Feb 25, 2026
Best Android SNES Emulator period!! But I hope you guys thinking of Adding RetroAchievements Support to it
★★★★★Krisgeline Estebat· May 26, 2026
The best emulator for Rom hacks for Super Mario world and kaizo's this is great
★★☆☆☆James Clay· Apr 7, 2026
The emulator itself works fine for gameplay, but it's wiping the save data every time I close the app
★☆☆☆☆No name· May 26, 2026
I feel like the touch controls is very boring that I hate color black buttons. Some of the emulators made by this same devs is reusing a same control design. Geez at least try to make a controls muck colorful I remember that 1.5.55 had mod touch controls color.
★☆☆☆☆Carlos Jaramillo· Jan 28, 2026
NOT GREAT, don't get me wrong the emulator is amazing but I give 1 star because the in game full screen or fill screen is not working at all. I love playing with the whole in game screen stretched because I hate black bars at sides
★☆☆☆☆Rudy Rodriguez· Dec 24, 2025
The touchscreen controls suck so much, no way to customize, in between press is super bad, hate the genesis button look, you can't change that??? It's so bad and makes playing on your emulator so annoying, especially platformers. Would rate zero if I could. Don't know how anyone could comfortably play on this garbage without a Bluetooth controller.
★☆☆☆☆Timothy Dougherty· Jun 5, 2026
Can't open any files. The app defaults to the apps' data folder which Android doesn't allow users access to. The app also won't allow you to change the directory either. The app is essentially useless if you can't load games.
