AD Boy: All-in-One-Emulator Reviews

Only get a broken webpage with “ Service Unavailable

Additionally, a 503 Service Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

I’m sorry but this is just embarrassing when you’re adding to an EMULATOR. What kind of developer would do that, it kinda defeats the purpose of emulation. Delta is worth your time and energy, not this hunk of junk.

Every single time I load up this emulator to play a simple NES and SNES games it struggles a lot. I don’t even want to try GBA with this I will not lie. The audio is dreadful and it’s extremely slow. I thought the new patch would fix a bunch of the issues but it’s still not working at all. I Just recommend Delta because everything this emulator fails, Delta succeeds

by Komcamn

I upload the rom and the play button does not do anything :(

by Koolboy320

Please fix this bug. There’s a white screen and it says service unavailable

by Thegamesrus

Have launched, relaunched, redownloaded and get a 403 error. I though everything was ran locally? Why would I get a 403 error if it’s not reaching out to servers for anything?

I love when in playing gameboy with my own files and i get an ad with a tiner mid game. This is not an app that should have intrusive ads like that cheap cash grab using a web broweser in app which in pretty sure is against TOS

by WindowToaster

This emulator is incredibly slow. Out of all the games I tried, none of them run at full speed.

Alternative for Nintendo stuff:
I would recommend Delta for retro Nintendo roms of many varieties.

Alternative for Master System:
If you want to play Master System roms on your phone, I would recommend using Eclipse. It’s not on ADBoy Store, but you can install it for offline play using the “Add to Home Screen” function in Safari. If you want to play. Master system games don’t always play sound on Eclipse, but that’s better than the sound This thing puts out! If you need sound in your Master System games, you can use a tool for PC to convert them to GBA format and run them in the “GBA” section in Delta, though these may drain the battery slightly faster due to the use of a nested emulator.

Trash

Not a good emulator

by Solidmite_1

Prob just the servers down tho

by Farting Tranchula

Doesn’t work :(

by HudBudU

Its just a browser. It also doesn’t work 90% of the time

by Bradtaylor

The version before 2.1, most of the Master System games were working. After 2.1, it’s only able to load but then freezes after a few seconds and locks up.

It’s an emulator, it’s cool that it works on ADBoy Store but this is definitely the first that we’re seeing people just trying to cash in on the hype. It was clearly slapped together in an evening. The buttons only work 80% of the time, the in game audio is distorted, and the UI is terrible. Why you would use this sub par emulator when Delta exists, I have no idea.

When I found out that I wanted to play mega drive games on ADBoy I was super excited until I downloaded and when I played the game from my folder 1 of the games were pretty laggy and also plz add controller support plz!!!!!

by TOP DOG RNTERTAINMENT

Yo dawg the servers down and I can’t play pokemans now 😭😭😭 plz fix this cus igba giving me ads now 😭😭😭

by Purrpgoddpeebles

Keep It Up This Emulator Is Shaping Up To Be Better Than Delta If Updates Like This Keep Dropping Keep Up The Great Work Dev Games That Are Supported Have Perfect Compatibility Now And Importing Games With The Stack Feature Is More Enjoyable Than Any Emulator That Is Out At The Moment :)

by Chasemania

Would be great to just play this in the Apple Vision Pro not asking for an optimized app version yet just being able to use it in this current state!

by Hfnjshnx

Pressing buttons can be a little wonky and sometimes they don’t work properly. While everything works relatively well its just difficult to play since the buttons could use some tweaking.

by LoopyTedd

Great app, but would be better with support for controllers

by Brooklyyyyyyyyyn

It can work but idk when I try to play game it doesn’t work like I can upload games but they don’t start

by Hotpocket834

Everything is great, just please add vibration when you hit buttons so you really feel like your pushing them!

by Diddy Did Ittt

Make ADBoy load faster if possible and be ready for server loads cause people know abt ADBoy. Also Make it easier to maneuver in ADBoy . :))

by Alan Matteo

This is a good emulator but it has bugs when I import sonic the hedgehog 2 it was slow i don’t know if it was me or a bug in your app

by Joe 111ksksk

Having to constantly go back to files is annoying when switching consoles

by Jimmy1 55

Pretty cool

by Muzemz

Pretty good

by Zustroy

Could you please add support for MAME?

by BEASTYPIE7

1. Add all kinds of cheats including code breaker. And also for GBA games too.
(Currently it’s only available for GB & GBC)

2. Add Game library, so we can easily access any game we want.

3. Add more settings like video & audio quality, speed 2x 3x 4x 5x, custom controls, and screen layout!

4. Most importantly, add a quick save feature, many games do not have a save feature but Pokemon games do have. You need a password whenever you continue the game.

Please it's my request to add these features as soon as possible. Then ADBoy will become more popular & every retro player will feel that nostalgia!

by Awsomegamer123123

Not sure if the servers are down cus if how many people downloaded it but yeah white screen

by Classic Boy Jc

It’s amazing , finally an emulator for iPhone, audio doesn’t work so far

by Jenfrji1

Hello, I just have a suggestion, can you add n64 and Ds support? That will make this perfect!

by AC225!

It’s good for the Emulator but the issue is the load time. For my phone it’s iPhone 8 on IOS16 update and it’s runs slowly when booting to the menu. Sometimes the main menu would show properly. I hope this gets fixed soon

by Cthdjhrlhbj

So I’m back again, just to tell you, is it capable of sonic fan games like sonic classic heroes basically just telling you and also love your company. Keep going!

by Alex Showers

It’s really good but it has quite a few bugs. Such as save bugs and sometimes the button but over a great app!!!!

by 2020 Time

Looks like controller support is there, as it works with my Backbone, with the exception of the control stick; only the D-pad works for movement. Also, recommend there be an option to remove the controller interface on the screen, especially for when the user is using a controller.

by Borser21

I’m not sure how difficult it would be to implement but at least on iPhone whenever you have to double tap and hold, the text selection magnifier comes up. That causes none of the buttons to work for a second. Nothing awful, just annoying. Controller support would be awesome, otherwise ADBoy works great! Hopfully Apple doesn’t take this one too lol

by BlazeNeal

Two things - add a menu ( like deltas that displays our games) and work on input sensitivity
Import feature would be awesome too

by Bryandrr

AD boy is better than delta in my opinion because it has sega consoles, what i want in the emulator, no bugs i’ve encountered, amd hope to see skins or controller customization in the future

by DrgnTmrRob

I have the iPhone 15, and roms for the games I own, and every GBA and SNES rom I’ve tried has worked flawlessly. No lag, no button issues, give it a go. What do you have to lose?

by Carrick97

I want to preface this review with the fact that you guys have brought an absolutely stellar emulator experience with the ease of an app. I am patiently waiting for N64 and I’m praying for eventually GameCube. Love yall and keep rocking this emulator market.

by Tankgod17638

So far it is great smooth control but only thing I have a issue with at this time is not able to save the game or load a save but plays amazing definitely can’t wait to see it grow

by Skbfewuynfniuewunf

this is one of the first emulators which is kinda suprising because apple doesn’t allow then but ADBoy is really cool get it

by Levi Skibidi Hall

It’s a good emulator but it’s missing audio but still good

by Lifmanija

ADBoy helped my mom with her stage 4 Cancer and she was cured when she started ADBoy

by Oooolool

Ever since Apple allowed emulators they’ve been coming in you made a good emulator

by MrGoodman Money Taker

W app but pay that house payment

by MattBob2.0

This is a good emulator and the only problem is getting into a server but all you need to do is close and open ADBoy until it’s fully loaded hopefully this will get fixed but besides that it’s a good emulator
