Yo-hoho
I love the open sea
Deluso
Ho provato 10 volte a Aggiungere una rom ma non mi riesce a dare nemmeno i file scaricati sul telefono..continua a caricare a vuoto. Nel mio caso 2€ buttati
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.
Schade
Ich kann mir vorstellen das die App gut funktioniert aber es wurde leider nicht sehr klar gemacht das keine Roms in der app mit drinnen sind
Sturdy good customer support
I had issues at first but was helped
Awesome!
Being able to play games like this on my watch is amazing! I love it so much!
Useless on Apple Watches
This app works great for the iPhone. It is absolutely useless on the Apple Watch. It does not support simultaneous 2 button push which render almost every game useless. Edited: I don’t think that is conveyed in the description and is misleading
Worth 5 stars but…
It’s a great emulator. It does what it says. But there are some issues. Not being able to push more than 1 button on the watch at a time makes a lot of games unplayable.
Keine Cheats
Toller Emulator. Vor allem die Link-Cable Funktion funktioniert super. Leider wird Gameshark nicht unterstützt.
Faltan poder añadir trucos!!
Si se pudiera usar trucos sería la aplicación perfecta!! Por eso no le doy las 5 estrellas. Espero que lo solucionen pronto.
One of the Best
Man, I have nothing but good things to say about this app. Works perfectly, clean, no bugs that I’ve encountered, no ads or in app purchases.
Soldi buttati
Soldi buttati
Great Emu
great emulator simple and easy to use
Keine Cheats nutzbar
Schade das man nicht cheaten kann. Die Steuerung ist teilweise eben schlecht da die physischen Buttons fehlen. Dann wäre es mit Cheats angenehmer. Vielleicht kommt es in einem Update. Teilweise hängt die Steuerung und man kann nicht richtig springen zB.
Velocidad de juego
El tema es que únicamente se puede aumentar la velocidad hasta x3, pero sigue demasiado lento, deberían poner un x5, x8, x12… es muy útil para usuarios que únicamente queremos el emulador para jugar pokemon, en si, la aplicación es buena, me alegra haberla comprado, pero pienso que va lento.
Best Emulator
This emulator is great and it’s at a good price!!
as of Dec 20, 2025; app does not load on watchos26 at all
yea, sadly app doesn’t work at all on my aw10 with watcho26.2 on it. hadn’t used in a while so tried to play a game and app won’t even stay open. just tries to open on watch and then closes.
No sound????
I dont hear sound
good game limited graphics
weee
Solid Emulator
I enjoyed using it to play Pokemon and Need For Speed games on my Watch. I do wish you had more control customization options. For example, I could make a transparent button that’s “Right + A” so doing multi inputs is easier. Or I can assign crown commands to hold a button. If it had more stuff like that, it would be perfect
10/10
I was bored so i convinced my mom and she let me and i can play at recess at school while im on the swing i am gonna recommend my friend about this
10/10
Bin wirklich sehr zufrieden mit der App bzw. dem Emulator. Es bietet flüssige Grafik in 30 oder 60 Fps. Was ich mir noch wünsche würde wäre wenn man die Knöpfe Größer machen das Steuerkreuz zum Beispiel aber ansonsten Top macht einfach richtig Laune 😁
Link is great
I got this to play coop pokemon quetzal with my girlfriend over internet. Does the job! I also like being able to move the buttons around
Guter Emulator
Sehr guter Emulator. Eine Möglichkeit die Spiele mit Tastatur auf dem ipad zu spielen wäre cool
Good emulator
Downloaded for Pokémon Leaf Green, works very well. Can even battle other people
Missing some features
Would be great if it had like a stretch to screen option for iPhones as well as an option to put cheats. Fantastic emulator anyway.
Love this App.
Best Watch Emulator
Max
Der Emulator ist erstmal top und wahrscheinlich der beste im AppStore. Was mir hier allerdings fehlt ist eine standardmäßig Einstellung das der Emulator immer im Querformat startet. Eine Cheat Code Anbindung wäre auch schön zu haben gerade für die Pokémon spiele. Ansonsten Tolle Arbeit an den Entwickler!
Nice app
Needs to work with nes though. It would be so nice to be able to play those games
Feature request
Please allow for cheats. I would like evolve my Kadabra but have no way to other than to modify the save on my computer. I would also like to have the option of a joystick on the watch. Otherwise tremendous product.
