Awful interface

Blackbery-12 on

United States

I understand that this is a free app and these people work really hard to bring this programmed multiple platforms and that’s really wonderful of them. They put lots of work and to make these games play from multiple different platforms, but the interface is just the worst. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a worse interface. It’s so bad I would rather just not play.

Drain the battery really fast

I don’t know what happened. It used to work really good after a new update I noticed it drain my battery from iPhone 14 and my iPad Pro really fast. I would appreciate if you guys fix it thank you

The amulet is the best, but the first needs to update it with the right course without the right proper plug-ins and core and biles. The PS2 will not work. Need asap Sony - PlayStation 2 (LRPS2)

Greg9311 on

United States

Can you pls add pcsx2. To ios ★ ★ ★ ★

Probably one of the best emulators on iOS

Iminlesbiansw/u on

United States

RetroArch is fantastic with the amount of emulators it has, and all for free. If anyone is having trouble getting the emulators to work you can easily find the bios needed on Reddit. Once you get those working it’s fantastic. My one issue is when you are playing without a control, you don’t get much of feedback (vibrating) from pushing the on screen buttons, which makes it hard to play platformer games where you need to time jumps. Other than that I highly recommend RetroArch for anyone who wants an easy to use emulator.
