Will delete your saved games! Worked brilliantly for a while, until I wanted to extract a save file for use elsewhere. Then I opened the "change working directory" option to try see where it saved them, hit back a few times to avoid making any changes and was told it had "Successfully copied" the files. After that, all my saved states were corrupted and unusable (even in other emulators and on other devices).

awful experience. paid for the pro edition and then got stiffed later on as I was using it. couldn't import saves or load the saves I had, couldn't assign a directory to load games from... things you would come to expect from an emulator on android. tried contacting the devs about this but nothing like the other reviewer said. I'm almost certain they've given up on updating this app. pizza boy looks great though!!!! tried that and it currently has what I mentioned earlier so I'll try that.

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the trouble! Version 2.5.9 fixes importing ROMs from a whole folder and adds export and import of .sav files in the game menu, so you can move your saves between devices and apps. Please update the app from Google Play.

does exactly what it says ot does after purchase. ive been using the lite version for years at this point. finally boight the full version, and ot works with no issues. the only thong i was a little disapointed in was the graphics customization. was looking for a CRT filter. but there sadly only a few options that to me didnt cahnge anythong visually. 4 out of 5 only because of that. otherwise a perfect emulator
