Hi DEVS, for the next update please add an option to change the joystick arrow like the analog stick on a game console. And make the range as wide as possible, so that when playing some games such as arcade games or sports like basketball when running it doesn't stop when the thumb touch is too far. These options can be changed at any time, even in the middle of a game/match. Thankful for your attention :))

can you add the gamma adjustment because it will be a great addition and the screen positioning where we can put the screen on anywhere we want it will be a good edition because it helps phone with lcd bleed where the other part of the phone is blocked by the bleeding so they can still play and look at the game I hope you add this to all your emulator to help People

Used to be great. But I was bamboozled. I paid for the original "John NES" emulator. But the dev disabled the orignal and a notification popped up saying download the new "John NESS" emulator. This app pops up ads anytime you change a setting, load a game, save a save state, or open a save state. I paid for the original app because I didn't want ads and now here I am, seeing tons of ads. 😒
