Normally 5€, ad free

Just popped up on my Appsales app, thought others here of Retro gaming persuasion might be interested

That's a top notch emulator that works especially well with the Retroid handhelds. I paid for it a few years back and have had absolutely no regrets with it.

I wonder if the decision to go free was prompted by the recent Nintendo vs Tropical Haze lawsuit.

Runs flawlessly on my Black Shark 5 - just had a race around Mario Kart

The Verge agrees with you ( though they don't quote you by name )

It certainly sounds like it'll be an uncomfortable time for anyone who charges money for a Nintendo emulator.

If they're going to go after anyone else though, it'll probably be Ryujinx first.

More on the subject...

Nintendo are pretty trigger happy with litigation, but I suppose in their defence, they are supporting (some of) their retro catalog on new platforms, so emulation could impact their business.

Still I'm glad Amstrad /Sky and Atari have been much more supportive of the emulation / retro scene
