This emulator is the best one in the play store. The functionality in terms of fast forward, save/load state, audio toggle, button arrangement and cheat options make the user experience amazing. Is there any way to make the d-pad more fluid? There's a 'break-stop' when moving from left to right/top to bottom when you slide your finger across the d-pad because you touch the center of it. I want to be able to move around fluidly without having these break-stops if this makes sense. Thanks!

Love it, if they had a way to connect to other phones using the emulator to simulate a Link Cable, that would be incredible! Also, it would be neat to have an option to disable the top left save state button. It's a bad habit to develop when you want to play Fire Emblem the way it was intended 😅 (won't deny that it saves time tho). Other than that, money well spent.

I love this emulator. I've always had the free verison but finally upgraded. It's easy to load games, and everything runs smoothly. The only complaint I have is when playing with the on-screen controller, it is hard to diagonally move. I see now from other reviews I can easily use another controller via Bluetooth and I will try that to avoid this issue when playing games that require that type of movement, but I would love to see a custom button on screen for this also.
