I bought this not for the emulator, but to support the devs that worked hard creating them. Thanks! Edit: they removed SuperRetro16(lite + full version) from market, something that I paid for years ago. I tried contacting them and they failed to reply to me. Add SuperGnes back to the market and remove the force update mechanic, I will bring back to 5 star when you can do this. It's not a bad emulator, I just don't like being locked out of something that supposed to be mine as I purchased it.

App breaks during Searching for roms proccess . Bluetooth multiplayer doesn't work. Wifi multiplayer is so so laggy and unusable.

Beautifully laid out and feature-rich, the actual emulation is great, and the integration with the Google Play Games service is a really nice touch. Unfortunately I was totally unable to get the cloud synchronization to work; and that was really the main reason I bought it - I wanted to be able to play on my tablet, come home, pick up a controller on my Android TV and pick up where I left off. But it just doesn't seem to work.

App stopped working 10/4/2021 asks for update but doesn't update and doesn't launch anymore even after install and reinstall. This is one of the best stand alone NES emulator that i have used. Hope it gets fixed soon and if you can plz bring back cover art. Their SNES emulator is good as well, give it a shot. Update 04/01/2022, their snes emulator also stopped working!

As others have mentioned, some games won't work and the 2-Player option had some issues. I didn't think it would matter having automatic updating in the app but they took away one of their best features- automatic game art lookup. Please give some explanation as to why you are making the app less valuable. Are you being compelled to by Nintendo or is this just a choice to stop supporting a great feature?

Not understanding why people are rating it low. The only problem I'm having with it is the Google play backup sync on every one of my devices. The same problem I had with SuperRetro16 a year ago. Which I would suspect they would have fixed by now in this. Still have other methods of obtaining though. Since it's a wee bit harder to obtain games on Android TV, I keep spamming the sync button until it works.

Here is my honest review of this emulator so far. I love the SNES Super Retro emulator and it's my go to emulator for my SNES games which is why I decided to purchase the Retro 8 emulator. However since I tried out this emulator, I noticed that when I startup any of my games, the sound is very choppy and distorted throughout the entire game. When I enable cheats for my games during gameplay, the game crashes instantly to the point I have to close the emulator and turn off the cheats just for it to run. Hopefully in a future update this will get fixed soon.

I actually like it. It certainly cannot run a good deal of roms however it will run a good deal of the important ones wich is a fair trade for a slightly different sound core, solid emulation, that exquisite CRT filter with scanline and a fair deal of customization options wich I highly encourage giving it some time. This application certainly has potential I hope they continue working on it.
