Ratings and Reviews
Super goed
Tot nu toe werkt alles naar behoren en kan ik eindelijk oude roms spelen.
Fun!
The app is already very stable. An option to have the game running fullscreen while having invisible touch controls would be such a welcome addition!
Developer Response ,
Do you mean on the Apple Watch? Because there, the Game Boy game's scale is exactly 2x the original. I tried to ensure the image isn't cut off by the rounded edges of the display
No sound????
I dont hear sound
Developer Response ,
Hi, If you’re on iPhone, turn off the silent mode (the ringer switch).
On Apple Watch, you probably have the apps volume set to zero. The easiest way to increase it is to open the Voice Memos app on your Watch and, while playing an audio, turn the Digital Crown to raise the volume. Now you should also hear the sounds from ArcEmu
