I just almost cried when I saw this and bought it within seconds of seeing it. All my roms work including hacked roms. Only thing missing from the list now is the Jaguar emu. His emus Better than every other emu on the app store. I'm buying all the apps from this guy. This person is on my list of favorite humans for bringing my childhood back to life. Thank you.

I am changing my review. I was originally pretty upset that I couldn't figure out how to get the games on here. But I watched a number of YouTube tutorials, and after a lot of headaches, and downloading an an extractior, I got it to work. It plays the games well, but finding the games. There needs to be some kind of explanation how to use this thing included along with all the other information it includes.
