I used to have no problems with this emulator. I didn't mind the banner ads at all bc it was so good at keeping my place in game even when closed, and the ads stayed unintrusive. However, suddenly, I get full video ads almost every time I tab out of the app. While they are often quick skips, previously unintrusive ads are now totally intrusive and ruin the experience. Completely scummy way to try and force me to buy the full version.

For some reason it can't run some GB games past the year 2000 (I tried with FIFA 2000 and DBZ: Legendary Super Warriors but they both just gave me a white screen) but other than that it runs completely fine
