Used to be 5 stars but after this update hit, dropped to nothing. Have no clue what you all were thinking with this. It worked fine without the folder path, menu is unreadable and is slower than ever, the game screens are shifted awkwardly to the corner or farther up regardless of adjustments or phone's position, controls don't work, and it crashes just by accidentally tapping off. please REVERT to previous version

runs at a high frame rate unlike most emulators but its save state and load state functions are broken. Even worse you have to close the whole app to exit a rom. The directional pad is too small so will not be able to move the right dirextion most time. Would recomend a way to hide buttons when need to use touch features. Fix soon please.

By far, this is the best emulator I've tried for Nintendo DS. Every other one suffers from low frame rates and very choppy animation. Yes, you have to watch an ad before you play, but there are no intrusive ads during gameplay, and for the quality of emulation, I consider it a small price. Edit: It just stopped working. It crashes every time I try to play a game.

all and all it's a decent emulator. it works for what you need it for. my only contribution would be that it would help out a lot if I could adjust the control layout. the buttons are kind of hard to push on my phone from where they ate located on the screen, and trying to use the touch screen is difficult at times because of where some of the buttons are; then again there's not much you can do about that. aside from that, it's not to bad. basic and good enough for what I need it for.

I have been experiencing an issue in which the touch screen will occasionally flip positions with the top screen on times where its mandatory to use, I'd love if there was a way to fix it. It'd also be nice to have a revert to default for all settings instead of just the virtual button config menu. Aside from that... decently good mobile emulator. games run consistently, audio doesn't have any issues, touch screen usually works well enough, save states are a bit clunky tho.

Best emulator there is, the only problem is that it's not saving my settings. example: on the nds emulator, I wanted to lock the screen on reverse landscape-so I did, but it wouldn't let me exit the settings, so, I hit back on my phone which successfully brought me back to the game, but my changes to the settings did nothing. Ive tried this with other settings as well, and nothing is working- please help

I overall like this emulator. it's pretty fun but for some Roms like Zelda 1 the DPAD was weird and didn't respond correctly. The app also doesn't work well with Bluetooth controllers. idk if it has to do with my phone or my controllers, but still. Also when i open up one of my saves(Zelda 1 or Pokemon) it stops working after a like not even a minute, and by that i mean I'm suddenly unable to move amd then it suddenly crashes. idk if it's my save but it's annoying to me. that's all

it's a great emulator for my ds roms but, everytime I load up my game from the save slots it takes me to the title screen with no progress at all. On top of that the PSX game i downloaded wouldn't work for this emulator. Regardless, I still had fun with games I was able to play despite these inconveniences. I just hope the developer can fix these problems I've been having.

I like this. I would however change a couple of things. Specifically the ui. I think the ui would be better if the first thing you see when you open the app is rom box art. Look at provenance on IOS. It has similar functionality but the execution is different. They put the content first. I would like to see that from this emulator. Also the addition of more systems. Android devices these days are pretty capable.

It's good but I hate the way it auto rotates. Could we have an option to turn it off? And could you all consider the idea of putting our own cheats into the game? Such as how you can for Nds4Droid and a way to move the controls around. That would be super cool. I can't create thumbnails either but that's not too much of an issue. And lastly I can't run Pokemon Black/White 2 and I see that quite a few others can't either, could there be a solution to that?

The bad news is that if your phone does anything but play this app (switching windows, screen lock time out, answer calls, etc) it crashes. The good news is that 10 secs later, I have a new instance open, with the autosave from a half a second before it crashed. Just turn on the autosave, and I think you'll like the app.

Overall I think it's really good—I can play games I didn't even think I could run on my phone... HOWEVER, my major complaint is the issue in NDS games that require memory cards. I'm only unable to play on this emulator, I've found other emulators which will run the games, except they run them very slowly. On this emulator, NDS games always run fast, but games like Mario Party, New Super Mario Bros, and Kirby Super Stars Ultra won't work. I'm sure I'll come across many more. Please fix this.

It runs pretty smooth unlike a lot of other emulators! As great as an emulator this is, I have one complaint on this emulator. While using it, I'd save my gameplay using the built in save system the emulator has, but upon returning to that save, the emulator closes itself! I can't return to my game anymore which is a big bummer.

would be five stars, but the lack of configurable controls really sets me off. If you're trying to play nds games with x box gamepad it has abxy and the d pad but no R and L triggers. Playing Mario Kart DS without right and left triggers, So annoying. You have to play with touch controls if you want to be able to drift and Mario Kart without drifting sucks. You have to put your hand in a really uncomfortable position to reach all the necessary touch controls, please fix and I'll edit my review.

I love using this app to play console games. It basically turned my phone into a portable gaming console. However, I have a few complaints. First, the load state button freezes the app. Second, there are no options for customizing the controls, and no keyboard/controller support. I would love for it to be implemented, because I want to make the gameplay experience better. Overall a great app for anyone wanting to play old video games on the go or if they can't get a gaming console.

Works good for the most part. Only game I've used so far is pokemon platinum. reason for 4/5: if you turn on autosave, the game will freeze up every time you rotate your phone from the direction you started the game from(portrait to landscape and vice versa), and every time you put it in the background. It seems to put the game in a pause state, but never takes it out of the pause state. I played with the settings and the only thing that causes this is the auto-save option being on. (note 8)

The app works well overall but there is a few huge problems I have with it. To begin you have to be connected to the Internet for it to work. You have to watch an ad to launch the emulator and it will not work if the ad cannot load. You also receive a ton of spam notifications after connecting to the app almost causing your phone to crash. After you get the app running it works great, watching another ad after loading a game state. There is a problem with the layout which should be prone to editing. I've hit the auto save button on accident numerous times, erasing hours of game play because of a save I can't back out of and wasn't high enough level or about to die in the game I was playing. If these things can be fixed I'd rate it 5 stars.
