I am shocked this got approved already, and unaltered too.

ScummVM, Provenance, Ignited and Folium are all stuck in review, and as far as I can tell this is the complete RetroArch with no changes or compromises.

It’s also already the best PSX emulator because it doesn’t crash with external controllers and supports hi resolution.

I just wish RetroArch in general had a better interface. The XMB interface isn’t bad on PC but on mobile it’s just so clunky.

EDIT - They also have an Apple TV version!! I’m even more shocked.

EDIT 2 - PPSSPP Standalone also launched! https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/ppsspp-psp-emulator/id6496972903

if you go to settings->user interface->menu you should have 3 other options if you don't like xmb: glui, ozone, and rgui show up as options to use instead of xmb on android phone version, and linux desktop versions.

I know, but the only touch optimized one is glui and it just doesn’t look good. It’s more than a skin issue too, the app is just clunky.

I appreciate that it has so many options, but if it offered just a simplified layer similar to Delta, it would be amazing. Right now it just throws too much at you for the person who just wants to just play a game.

I guess it’s time to invest in a mobile controller 😅.
