Tested 4 games. Bejewelled 2 runs flawlessy, Spider-Man Toxic City runs but there is screen flickering issue. Ancient Evil and EverQuest Pocket installs but cannot read the game files. Still, this is alreqdy an impressive emulator. Keep up the good work!

Hi thanks for the review, So as the project stands there is still work to be done, Im just acting as the Host agent for the Android end of things on google play, So ive personally patched in Gizmondo game support and got the App production ready, there is also a discord group where you can share your findings and they can be fixed in updates 🙂
