    App runs great on iOs which is kind of a given, but runs pretty smooth on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Would be great to have bluetooth controller support on the watch as well.

  • Arc emu is great. But read the following:

    ArcEmu works great and the controller support is effective. The link cable works, however, read the following which was also sent in an email to the ArcEmu support: ArcEmu doesn’t seem to function properly if you are under 13. The multiplayer link cable doesn’t function, saying “multiplayer unavailable” I am almost sure this is the issue because on one device which has age 14 it started working again after I signed out and back in to Game Center. However, on the other device there are no restrictions but it doesn’t work, most likely because it is under 13. Because of this, please add a “sign in as guest” or an ArcEmu account feature, or even better (if you do this this might be the best app ever) allow it to work by usb c cable, so you don’t even need internet like in the game boy days. Please fix this issue soon.

  • Love the features

    I really like the layout of the controls on the phone side of things (I say as if I didn't adjust it as provided in the app). I haven't had much experience on the watch side, but the layout doesn't feel as bad as I thought it'd be and the ability to configure the crown's associated buttons is nice. The only hard part compared to other emulators is deciding what games I would want available at every moment. Very nice, no complaints.

  • Awesome app

    No crashing, no hidden fees, no ads, just massively satisfying UI and pure functionality. I am genuinely impressed with good this thing feels to play games with <3

  • Similar to a GitHub issue but whatever lol

    I’d like you to add 7z support and the ability to add multiple games at once. Please, it’d be nice.

  • Sound issues fixed

    I am enjoying it very much and the graphics are very cool

  • So it’s a good emulator but one thing that breaks a lot of roms…

    By IHaveTegridy
    Everything looks good I like the style of it and the transfer but a lot of roms are unplayable due to only being able to press one button at a time on the watch such as in Mario you can’t run and jump just a simple update would fix this wmd I’d honestly give it 5 stars
