While I feel like the app could use some better documentation on how some cores need your files to be named, that's the only real hangup I encountered. After sorting out the menus, everything I tried was up and running, with one exception: I wasn't able to run the randomizers I tried. It looks like the Android version lacks the needed cores for net communication, so it may not be an option. Other than that, it does what it is *supposed* to with the content provided.

Garrett Braaten, 2025-01-18Only problem I am having is with control mapping. I have a razor kishi and it won't map the "a" button. Just leaves it blank and I can't even save a new profile to fix this. Every time I minimize the app or exit I have to reprogram the buttons. I have to spend too much time fiddling with it while getting on and off a bus, and it really cuts into a 15 min break when I could be playing that much more Kirby. I have same issues on pc, really even more because I want to use different controllers
