Hi DEVS, for the next update please add an option to change the joystick arrow like the analog stick on a game console. And make the range as wide as possible, so that when playing some games such as arcade games or sports like basketball when running it doesn't stop when the thumb touch is too far. These options can be changed at any time, even in the middle of a game/match. Thankful for your attention :))

Used to be great. But I was bamboozled. I paid for the original "John NES" emulator. But the dev disabled the orignal and a notification popped up saying download the new "John NESS" emulator. This app pops up ads anytime you change a setting, load a game, save a save state, or open a save state. I paid for the original app because I didn't want ads and now here I am, seeing tons of ads. 😒

This is the best emulator on andriod I have ever used, hands down. Not only does this let you play both SNES and NES games it has an amazing saving and loading system. Obviously you can save to a number of slots and load anytime. But there's tweaks to it. You can load from last continuation. If you accidentally load a file you can go right back to where you were. You have a quicksave button and a quickload one. You can adjust the display and controls. There's even cloud save. The Best emulator.
