Does not work, just keeps asking for folder permissions then saying that nothing is found. Really annoying, have to keep using the lite version with annoying ads.

Great emulator with only one minor inconvenience. Would recommend 100% of the time. I just wish that I could make it so that the time wouldn't automatically advance between save stats and loading save states. The system time tracking is a cool idea but it doesn't work well enough, or at all when you choose to use fast forward, to have it always on. If I could dissable that feature I would give this 5 stars. I just want to play pokemon without the clock changing between save states. Plz hlp
