EDIT: I found the solution on my end. You have to make a new folder in your SD card for games exclusively, so when you get to the scan step, use a created folder and place all the ROMS you have in there! Then, the emulator will recognize the game files. I'm giving 4 stars now, but only because this is a very specific workaround, and shouldn't be here to begin with. It's not a hard one, just oddly specific. You try to make the files inside the Johnemulators folder, and it doesn't work; use an SD.

To those who are having some troubles still with not being able to play their favorite GBA games, I figured out how to fun them through JohnGBA. If you have the game as a Zip file, into internal storage and then transfer that file directly into the "game" folder, the app is able to see the files and let you run the games. That's how I have mine set up atm and it's working fine. I hope this helps others out and I'm not just a special case

Despite the advice listed in the message regarding legacy 12 most of my games are now unplayable despite taking the time to research and try to rectify the issue myself. This once perfect app is pretty much irrelevant now. Having paid the nominal fee for the app I'm some what disappointed that the developer hasn't rectified this. I get it though as life happens and I've enjoyed years of this app but maybe they're just doing something else now.

Thank you John, from the bottom of this twelve years old heart, that's stuck in much older body. Super simple and enjoyable, even the free version's adds were at an extreme minimum. I would honestly pay more. The complaints I've seen about having to transfer files are blatantly ignorant. John can only look at 1 folder now, instead of being able to scan your whole device... Copying a file from one location to another is quick and easy, just try.

Had this for a while, PAID for it (totally worth it). But, lately, the software has hard locked me out telling me that it has no license and I need to buy it from the app store... The link takes me to this page that says that I already bought it and has the "play" button. FULL stars if it still worked, best out there. Glad I waited till now to review, might update when this gets fixed. _-_-_-_ Well, the issue fixed itself after being connected to the internet somehow. I needed it offline!

My review used to be 5 stars, I've reduced it to 3 after switching phones. I had some issues with responsiveness on my new phone and tablet but I put that down to being the phones fault not the software. But I've recently started using a Samsung A70, and it is more responsive than my last phone an S8 but the landscape mode moves the game on my screen all the way to the right. Leaving about an inch of black to the left/top of my phone and making it extremely difficult to use in this mode.

This emulator is the best one in the play store. The functionality in of fast forward, save/load state, audio toggle, button arrangement and cheat options make the experience amazing. Is there any way to make the d-pad more fluid? There's a 'break-stop' when moving from left to right/top to bottom when you slide your finger across the d-pad because you touch the center of it. I want to be able to move around fluidly without having these break-stops if this makes sense. Thanks!

Love it, if they had a way to connect to other phones using the emulator to simulate a Link Cable, that would be incredible! Also, it would be neat to have an option to disable the top left save state button. It's a bad habit to develop when you want to play Fire Emblem the way it was intended 😅 (won't deny that it saves time tho). Other than that, money well spent.
