Ratings and Reviews
So much better than other emulators I’ve tried!
I really like this emulator! From what I’ve seen, there’s no lag, no problems with bugs and the quality of the games is sustained perfectly, all of which have been major problems with other emulators I’ve tried. Plus it’s really cheap too, so I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed by it!
I do have a question though: Is there any option for using cheats in games I’m emulating? If not, will that be a feature in the future? If not then that’s fine, but I just kinda like to use cheats sometimes to mess about in some of the games I play.
Overall, this emulator is very much worth the tiny investment and I don’t regret buying it!
Developer Response ,
Hi, thank you very much! I can tell you that in the next update, fast forward and some other interesting features will be added. In a future update, cheats will also be included!
It works great !
Now this is just crazy. Gameboy games on my watch ! Plus they work so well. Just been playing Tetris and Mario land. It’s not just a tonic. It actually plays very well! Full speed. Thanks so much to the dev ! Mr Dev - how do you get the volume louder in the games ? I’ve got it to maximum on my phone already but the games are quiet ?
Any chance of adding a joystick and buttons. As it’s quite tough pressing two keys at once
Developer Response ,
Yes, I lowered the volume in the last update, but maybe I overdid it.
I'll raise it a bit with the next one then
Amazing emulator for both phone and watch!
This is my go to emulator for both my phone and watch, great features like fast forward, slow down, save states between phone and watch, Digital Crown functionality, amazing work by the developer to get such a great emulator to work flawlessly on the Apple Watch!
