Thank you for existing, your app is worth of praise, you did what was told to be impossible. I have few and humble wishes in life and one of them was that my elderly mom could enjoy Saturn Bomber man again or Night's... I didn't try Night's, but we'll certainly have a very good time with Bomber man. Thank you again.

Needs more improvement. By far this is the best Sega Saturn emulator out there for android devices. Needs more time to improve. I notice some frame drops playing Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter on my Realme 6 Pro. Another game is Dodonpachi, the game freezes at Stage 2. Needs more optimization. More power to the Devs. Good Luck and God Bless!

Not bad for the free version. You only get 3 games that you can load using the easier to use games folder shortcut. But if you do it the long way by manually going into these apps folders there are a games folder you can load more games into. Other than that not bad so far. Boxart automatically is loaded when you put the rom into game folder. Sounds way more complicated than it actually is.

It wasn't very easy to add the files at first but once I got the hang of it everything was great. Intuitive menus everything you need to play sega Saturn games on the fly.

The menus and the features this emulator has look promising, but the touch screen control editor screen has the sliders act up on my Android 8 device, with only the transparency slider going proper. But the emulation actually doesn't work when I load a game, I specifically tried running Sonic Jam off this emulator and the touch controls appear but the emulation just immediately gives up without even reaching the BIOS sequence, and I'll have to resort to an earlier version until this is fixed.

WOW!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS. THEY'VE EVEN DISABLED THE ABILITY TO TYPE INTO THE FIELD REQUIRED TO TELL THE APP WHICH DIRECTORY TO EVEN LOOK IN FOR YOUR GAMES!!!! AMD IF YOU JUST CLICK "ADD", IT SAYS YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT IN THE PAID VERSION!! I'D HAPPILY PAY FOR QUALITY SATURN EMULATION ON MY PHONE, BUT I'M NOT PAYING A DEV WHO'S SO DEVIOUS AND SNEAKY WHO EMPLOYS SUCH UNDERHANDED TECHNIQUES. I GET THAT THE GUY'S GOTTA EARN HIMSELF A CRUST, BUT I'M NOT HELPING A SNEAKY BASTED!!!
