Not only does this work well it does everything you could ask for! It's got controller support it works on tablets, phones, and even OUYA. Paul has done an incredible job programming this and He really listens to his users. I see responses all the time in forums to those having a little trouble or just asking for more features. Thank you Paul. You've done great work!

I like it but the graphics still don't work on super smash bros. Favorite childhood game. The vs win screen is black and some characters faces are still gone. Dont get me wrong... ot is still a great game. I just want it fixed. I use the samsung galaxy S 3. Can you mabye make an update from that. It would be great;) Thank you for your time.

Paid for this app a long time ago. It's great. Only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I can get it to recognise my moga controller? Tried all the usual configuration stuff but they just don't want to play nice together? It cud be on the moga end but I can't really confirm. That either way unfortunately.

by U####:

Quick, smooth, plenty of options. I don't like the Mupen64 core in another application but it runs buttery smooth in this standalone app. Just finished playing Hybrid Heaven and now playing Ocarina of Time with HD texture pack @ 2560x1440. Freaking awesome and nice not having to set up the N64 just to get some nostalgia time in.

U70%
by U####:

The only issues with this emulator for me is that the game lags sometimes and I can't get glover and a few other particular games to play for anything. When these things are fixed I will give you 5 stars

U70%
by U####:

Some games run very well, others crash; some run, but are buggy. Totally worth the $.99! I await updates and improvements with baited breath! I really wish that there was a menu for leaving the ROM that did not require me to touch the top of the screen. This makes loading ROMs on my NVIDIA Shield a pretty difficult task.

E70%
by E####:

I wish more games worked but playing Zelda and n64 mario games on my phone is awesome. I really wish Conker's Bad Fur Day worked. It took some getting use to the c buttons being the right analog stick but I actually like it better than the old c buttons.

F70%
by F####:

I'm disappointed that I paid money to use this emulator and it doesnt even work properly. All I wanted to do was play pokemon stadium and because the joystick doesn't work I can't pick my pokemon properly, nor can I move to different areas of the game. Please fix this problem. I tried to report a big but it routed me to some weird website.

Not quite compatible yet, you need a mouse to access and set up some features like 2nd controller. Not on leanback screen either so need sideloader app installed as well or need to go thru app settings. Plays great

U70%
by U####:

It crashes when i play ocarina of time like once every hr n a half. Dunno if its my device but other than that its great. Cud use a d pad option tho. For games like kirby krystal shards. Maybe there is lol idk

My saves always crash when I try to load them. Using a Sony Xperia Z1s, stock ROM, rooted and bootloader unlocked, overclocked, on 4.3. My SD is a high-rated Samsung Evo 32GB. Also, please support Moga (specifically Pocket) a bit better, some games aren't mapped very well

This was a great free app so I decided to support the paid version... Everything ran great noooo problems. Until recently I can't get a lot of the games I used to play to work anymore specially Mario kart. I've sent in "reports" but no help or fix yet so help please

O70%
by O####:

I rated 2 stars then changed to 5. I've always used rom hustler for my rims but for ths app it doesn't work. So don't give up if ur app isn't working. Try a new rom site first.then I changed it to 3. It says it has fixed ps4 controller mapping. And there isn't a ps4 controller option. The mapping is still all whacked. Help me out and I'll go back to 5.

Ahh isn't it just nice to play all the 64 games you never had are could afford well now I can with this lovely app. Also playing Mario 64 brings back memories

You need to fix some of glitches for mario partys. Like the #2 it has a flashing black screen and in some mini games you cant use the buttons at all please fix this and for pokemon stadium

Room to improve, but works great on Zelda Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64. Although I can't get Pokemon Stadium to work! Won't let me use the dpad or analog stick.

It does everything it says it can do. Play N64 roms when you want. It supports mostly all mainstream games and ones like not so mainstream. The emulator also has a auto save feature that allow drop in drop out gaming. Also quick shut downs to start at the last you were actively playing. Crash a problem of the past nowadays.

Love the MOGA native support, every game I've tried works great! Only issue is the automatic flicker profile which did not seem to remove shadow flicker on my S5, I had to manually set it to O-2.

I70%
by I####:

Doom 64 has total black background. Besides that, cannot map, reconfigure, resize, realocate, create new mixed action buttons for the touch screen controller layout, witch is a huge let down for touch play. A great touch custom controller is crucial for the gaming experience in tablets, or in case of not using external control. Needs more work. But i think it can be done.

Worked great on my ASUS Nexus 7, Kyocera Rise, Motorola Moto G, and Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Had an issue with Majora's Mask once upon a time but that was fixed. Very smooth.

Been on the emulator market for a while and this is by far the best n64 emulator ive played. Its not perfect and has its flaws but at the rates the developers are working i see it getting five stars alot more. It doesnt play some games well and you have to tweak some settings for certain games like paper Mario. However its.the.only emulator ive seen run paper mario.

Love this. Been using my moga pro playing majoras mask. Who needs a 3ds remake? Ran slow at first but then I changed to a different video plug in and bam, buttery smooth.

Runs excellently on the NVidia Shield Android TV, have tried Conkers bad fir day, mario 64, mario kart, both zelda's, star fox, blast corps, golden eye and mortal kombat. Some games take a bit of tweaking but all work fine in the end. Great emulator

This app was worth the price, I have to say I find myself coming back to it very regularly to play some Tony Hawks or LoZ, which handles both games remarkably well. Only slightly disappointed that I couldn't play majoras mask. Still a solid emulator though.

the games run good but the picture is glitchy and the sound is really bad now i don want to be mean but i paid for this app and if these isssues can be fixed i would greatly appreciate

People are having trouble with this emulator, all you have to do is go to the settings and click plug-in then choose the tenth anniversary one (its the latest) and it will run smother than syrup, with this you can also play Conker's Bad Fur Day and other Super Smash bros. will have a face. visit the creators website for more info

Absolutly love this app but I can't play nuclear strike 64 it goes in the game then once I start scenario 1 it quits the game and that game was the main reason why I bought this app :(

I can finally play paper mario 64. It only force closed every once in a while. Has no flicker because I read the how to, but still force closes and unable to get even past the first star

T70%
by T####:

Whenever I play a game such as Zelda or Mario, I came across a few things such as broken graphics or missing words/buttons. Example: some background areas were completely solid color without the designs, like the the sky without any clouds, or the character is faceless. When I close it then restart, it fixes itself along with a few others, but I don't want to do this every time it happens frequently. Please, fix this and then I will give 5 stars. Thanks!

Hey Paul, did you die??? Wth happened?? No updates , can't play the games properly anymore?? No replies to help emails???!!!???

I prefer to use the Retroarch multi-emulator, but the built-in Mupen core doesn't work so well on Nexus 7 2012. This standalone app performs way better, there is less framerate drops, and less audio stutter. It's not perfect, but this 4yr old device CAN play them, as opposed to what others had been saying on the forums I visited. If you can't get a game to work properly, tweak the video/display settings and be aware that your device may crash and reboot if your tweaks don't quite go as expected.

N64 emulation on any platform is notoriously sketchy. Emulating on Android is no exception. Some games work, most don't. This emulator however is your best hope. It works the best out of all of them, and the project is still active. Download and enjoy, just don't expect a flawless experience.

T70%

I played the full play through of ocarina of time and loved it. Nostalgia at its finest, but when I moved on to majoras mask there are quite a few texture problems, and the lens of truth does not work at all. witch makes the game really difficult concidering I haven't played it since I was like nine or ten, if this could be fixed I would rate it five stars, also it does not play conker's bad fur day at all and I was really looking forward to playing that one.

T70%
by T####:

Guys, truly awesome stuff here very pleased with how well its running on my note 4. The only gripe I have is I can get DK64 running completely. If I mess with the graphics settings (cached) I stop clipping/phasing through walls but it starts to kill my speed as I'm running around in the over world. If I change my graphics back to dynamic it runs beautifully but the clipping and phasing makes it nearly impossible to play fully. Is there any more information I can provide so you can look into this?

Good but not great...Rogue Squadron is unsupported, in Shadows of the Empire you can't see the menus, Goldeneye is sluggish to an annoying degree, and Body Harvest has really bad graphic artifacts that ruin the experience. For Mario games it works just fine but is overall rough around the edges when it comes to support. In fairness nothing out there really supports Rogue Squadron. How do I reduce the Audio delay? It's pretty noticeable. Best N64 emulator on Android still.

I thought this emulator would be like every other mainstream emulator just play the game and boom. But this one has cheats which are very interesting to play with. The graphics are good. Audio doesn't lag as much. Everything about this is great I just can't wait to use my Xbox 360 controller. Nothing bad. I can't even think of something bad about it. I'm glad I paid instead because I appreciate your hard work for something very enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

N64oid would be better if it didn't crash. This app won't let me play majoras mask or conkers so it's whatever... Also this app will stop working if you don't go back to it for a little. So you have to un install then re install it in order to get it to work again. Fix majoras mask and I'll rate it a 5☆
