## Folium Reviews in United States

### ***** "I love this app"
I don’t get why people are hating on this so much yeah it has some issues but a lot of them can be fixed with setting improvements. Here are my settings. 

Cytrus

CPU Clock Percentage 19

New 3DS off

LLE Applets off

SPIRV Shader Generation on

Asynchronous Shader Compilation off

Asynchronous Presentation off

 Hardware Shaders on

Disk Shader Cache on

Accurate Shader Multiplication off

New Vertical Sync on

Shader JIT off

Texture Filter mmpx
Leave as default if you’re having issues

Texture Sampling game controlled

Render 3D off

3D Factor
Current: 0, Min: 0, Max: 100

Mono Render left eye

Preload textures off

Audio Muted off

Audio Emulation HLE

Audio Stretching on

Output Type automatic

Input Type automatic

All these tests were done on an M2 iPad Pro, but should work the same on iPhone 15 Pro or higher and iPad Pro m4 if you’re on a older device lower the CPU clock and if miis have I don’t know why people are saying I’m going to stay with delta even though Delta doesn’t have 3DS emulation
And the reason why it doesn’t run very good is because of apple since they restrict JIT to be used on iPhones and iPads so until iPhone get powerful enough it’s not going to run the best. Recommended devices
iPhone 15 16 and iPhone 15 16 pro iPad Air/pro M2/M4 and if you want it to work for the most part you at minimum need a iPhone 13 or higher
-- Proud Kangroo, 2025-01-05

### ****- "Keyboard bug"
Theres a bug when you press cancel on the keyboard that freezes the entire game, other than that it works pretty well besides some reasonable lag
-- Chloe S. Turner, 2025-01-04

### **--- "UI"
please change the interface back to the solid black the transparency effect just increases eye strain and makes the playable space smaller for no reason
-- Cam3ronB25, 2025-01-04

### *---- "Stay away"
I have the latest newest best iPhone out prolly the most powerful phone ever made and 3ds games run like dog sh it and the phone heats up as hot as the sun my phone will prolly blow up after 30 mins games run laggy and unplayable worst emulator app of all time period
-- hotgamergirl, 2025-01-04

### ****- "Still Finicky after this new update when checking App Store"
After discovering new update, audio is still finicky (static) and the visual quality still lags at times. Also, can’t import other Pokémon 3DS games for some weird reason; please fix the audio issue and lag on visual effects. Audio and visual quality could be improved by a mile: that’d go a long way for Pokémon fans, especially me, since technical issues can be a pain in the neck

Edit: still skeptical on
Audio so I just keep my AirPods on no volume when playing this emulator
-- humpback🐋fan, 2025-01-03

### **--- "It won’t work"
So um when I go to missing files and click on them nothing really happens and it won’t let put the files in
-- Vvvdhd, 2025-01-03

### *---- "Latest phone still heating up"
How about fixing the heating up phone issue I gave 16 pro max for Gods sake its 2025 3ds came out how many years ago?
-- MJones30, 2025-01-02

### *---- "Playability and Interface"
I’ve tried to play this on the new iPhone and the heat-up, mixed with the lack of controller settings and updates make it unplayable in some retrospect. You can’t play these games long at the current settings.
-- Greatwhitebison, 2025-01-02

### ***** "Pokemon ultra moon"
Been using for weeks works great with some tweaks
-- Joseph1728, 2025-01-01

### ****- "I love this, but Luigi’s mansion dark moon is not working."
My heart was heart beating when I saw this, it was so good, but when I tried Luigi’s mansion dark moon, the audio was werid and the game was slow, and it kept freezing. And it was hard to look around and hard to look up and down. It is not fair that all the other 3ds games work except my favorite game (Luigi’s mansion dark moon). And in super Mario maker for 3ds game, it says I need a mii character in my home menu, so can you make it that you don’t need a mii character. And please fix Luigi’s mansion Dark moon. And add JIT (just in time) so the emulators can run so smoothly. then I will turn this star into a 5, and make a video of how to fix it! Make me proud!!! 😊
-- The great simulator game, 2025-01-01

### **--- "How to import"
I have no clue how to import games,i have looked up on youtube,reddit,discord but was never able to figure out how to play the games, i did everything step but when i chose the file and open it nothing happens;If anyone could help me out on that. 
Overall pretty stressful app for 5$ but if i could figure it out i hope its worth it
-- Bot1934, 2025-01-01

### *---- "please let someone help you"
why is my game in slow motion?
-- NiaHemmitt, 2024-12-31

### **--- "sounds choppy and slow, but it’s okay (i guess??)"
Once I got this app on my iPhone 13 and tried to play Kirby Triple Deluxe, it just sounded choppy and got slow. I’m probably sticking with Delta for now unless this gets fixed in a future update.
-- DT56and3, 2024-12-28

### **--- "Not very reliable"
Consistently crashes over and over.
-- @mdog, 2024-12-27

### **--- "Needs a lot of work"
Add save states, improve performance (getting constant crashes), and improve UI please.
-- Maher Dakdouk, 2024-12-26

### **--- "It's okay I guess"
I was so excited to play Style Savvy Trendsetter on my phone but after a certain period of time, no matter what, the app crashes. In Style Savvy, you have to save before you leave the game which means i lose all of my progress every time it crashes and it's extremely frustrating. if this was a free app i'd be a little more lenient and understanding but i paid $5 for this app to be mediocre at best.
-- allysonnmooree, 2024-12-26

### ***-- "Animal Crossing New Leaf (Welcome Amiibo) is broken"
The app overall works very well it’s just that when i tried to load Welcome Amiibo using the save I had on my computer the game just completely crashes. I’ll still use it for other games but will just have to wait for this to be fixed.
-- TyliahGee, 2024-12-25

### **--- "Keeps Crashing"
Has potential, but lags and crashes constantly
-- DelicateTeacup, 2024-12-25

### ***-- "Good Start But Needs More"
(1) Needs Proper Apple Vision Pro build. (2) Since the core is capable or outputting both camera angles this could easily be incorporated as well (3) Needs proper save states. (4) I’d do the work if this was open sourced.
-- atatious, 2024-12-24

### ****- "Works well ONLY on M4 iPad Pro or higher."
This is a great emulator if you have the muscles to run it. I’ve been gaming on the iPad Pro M4 1tb option with 16gb Ram and 10core CPU/GPU and most games run smoothly. However there are some games that start and the crash in the same place no matter the settings used or the Rom version. This leaves me to believe this is a bug on the emulator that needs fixing. Outside of that it works as intended for 3DS games.
-- Vanhouzer, 2024-12-24
