Adjustable game buttons is awesome. Never found a game it couldn't run. Main issue I *had was save files being essentially inaccessible (No transferring progress to/from pc or PKhex for pokemon games). In the latest update, an option to import and export save files has been added. 🥳

Thanks for the feedback! Version 2.5.9 lets you export and import .sav files from the game menu, so you can back up your saves or move them to another device or app. Please update the app from Google Play.

I was using the free version for a while. This emulator has become a travel essential for me and I support the work this developer is doing. 10/10 would recommend.

Was very satisfied with the Lite version. Used it alot so I felt it deserved at least a few bucks. Not only did everything run smoothly when purchasing the Pro version, but my roms seamlessly transferred over AND it picked up exactly where I left off like as if I never left the Lite version. Very cool. Worth 5 stars so far. If something messes up in the future (as I've literally JUST bought it) I'll probably update this.
