The emulator offers good menu performance and can deliver impressive graphics, especially on phones when optimized properly, but gameplay frame rates vary significantly and can drop with demanding effects like fog. While it excels at running classic MAME games smoothly with decent graphics, it struggles with high-resolution 3D titles and could benefit from further graphical improvements for smoother play. Overall, it's praised for preserving arcade artwork and enhancing the visual experience in older games, though users expect continued graphics refinement.
