Fix bug

by Al*****, 2026-05-15

This app absolutely ROCKS. It’s a bit difficult to navigate the menus and figure it out at first but it’s solid. It’s the ONLY emulator that works reliably on my old phone and doesn’t crash constantly. Gotta load the operating “core” then load the rom and load the asset. Quick menu lets you access save points. Theres much much more to it. I’m very impressed. Like I’ve said it’s difficult to navigate at first but it’s an amazing program.

I have been using RetroArch for a long time. Everything runs great and my favorite feature is the iCloud file sync since I play across my MacBook Pro and iPhone.
