  • Incredible multi-console emulator that allows for a wide range of games to be played on mobile devices.
  • Highly customizable with many options for tweaking settings, making it a powerful tool for retro gaming enthusiasts.
  • Great performance for many older systems, with smooth gameplay and the ability to run games without significant lag.
  • The user interface is confusing and not user-friendly, making it difficult for new users to navigate and set up.
  • Frequent crashes and bugs, especially with certain cores like Dolphin and PS2, leading to a frustrating experience.
  • Lack of support for external SD cards on Android 11 and above, limiting access to game files and reducing usability.
  • optimization
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the app is a mixed bag, with users reporting significant performance issues such as stuttering and crashes, particularly with certain emulators like the DS and PSP. While the app offers a customizable UI and a variety of features, many feel that it lacks the necessary optimization to run smoothly across all platforms, leading to a frustrating experience for some users. Overall, while it has potential, it requires further updates to improve stability and performance.

    • “It's also a great way to test out your device's performance.”
    • “It's got everything you could ask for: customizable and intuitive UIs, great performance, and built-in games if you don't wish to use ROMs.”
    • “This is probably the best emulation app there is; I just wish the buttons were a little bit more optimized.”
    • “The app seems to work fine, the UI isn't great but that's not the main issue. Whenever playing the DS emulator games, I get horrible stuttering and slowdown, making the games pretty unplayable.”
    • “The retroarch software deserves 5 stars, but the port to Android still requires some work on input, menu, and overlay performance.”
    • “Very poorly optimized.”
  • stability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the emulator is widely criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and bugs, particularly with certain ROMs and platforms. While some emulation cores perform well, others are described as slow or unusable, leading many to recommend using separate dedicated apps instead. Overall, the experience is marred by frustrating configuration issues and inconsistent performance.

    • “Simple and easy, runs great.”
    • “The game runs smoothly without any crashes or glitches.”
    • “I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; it never lags or freezes.”
    • “First of all, I think it requires better error handling. A lot of times it freezes with a certain ROM and you have no idea what's wrong.”
    • “Good when it works, but too unstable and buggy. Combined with the fact that it's frustrating to configure, it means that unless you really need all your emulators in a single interface, it's better to get separate dedicated apps for each system.”
    • “RetroArch is the worst emulator ever on every device. Lags, sound crackling, bugs, and glitches not only on mobile phones. I don't understand why you are releasing stuff like this if it's not even done and not working. There are a bunch of emulators that work without any problems. Sorry, but I hate this app.”
  • monetization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the program is highly praised, as it is completely free, ad-free, and does not include any in-app purchases or DRM, providing users with a straightforward and powerful retro gaming experience. Users appreciate the absence of ads and the ability to customize their experience without any financial barriers.

    • “This program is free, no ads, works with almost every controller I have (minus the PS3 controller because I don't root).”
    • “No ads, no DRM, no purchases, no BS, just a powerful retro gaming tool on the go.”
    • “Plays games, no ads or nonsense.”
    • “Two nights and 3 hours total, I've tried emulating PS2, but the ads are a joke.”
    • “If it's free, support them without ads and don't criticize them.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have mixed feelings about the graphics in the emulator, praising its impressive visuals and extensive customization options, while also noting performance issues with certain cores like N64 and NDS, which can lead to lag and necessitate reduced graphics settings. Overall, the emulator is celebrated for its potential, but there are calls for improved graphics performance on lower-end devices.

    • “It's mind-blowingly awesome, superbly fantastic... I'm just speechless that such a great emulator has so many settings and modifications and terrific graphics! ❤❤”
    • “Awesome emulator! I wish the games would have better graphics on lower-end phones.”
    • “That's a nice emulator frontend, but some cores, like N64 and NDS, are very laggy. I could only play Super Mario 64 by changing a lot of options and reducing the graphics.”
    • “Just one thing, can you add more graphic settings?”
    • “Awesome emulator, wish the games would have better graphics on lower-end phones.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the games mentioned, including Flashback, Cannonball Arcade, Cave Story, Doom, and Wolfenstein 3D, is characterized by a mix of nostalgic narratives and engaging gameplay, often blending action with compelling plots that resonate with players.

  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report mixed experiences with the music in Pokémon Black, noting that while the music itself is generally enjoyable, sound effects are often heavily bit-crushed across various ROMs, detracting from the overall audio experience.

    • “I haven't had too bad of an experience, but I also haven't really gotten past the intro of Pokémon Black. For some reason, every single sound effect that isn't music is heavily bit-crushed on every ROM I use.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the emotional aspect of the game to be impactful, as it allows for seamless engagement with core elements without unnecessary interruptions, enhancing the overall immersive experience. The intuitive design fosters a deeper connection to the game's narrative and emotional themes.
