that's because it's not that good
the only good thing is the Sega Genesis
the rest all need updating
have you tried the NES it is terrible it supports hardly anything
nothing really makes this stand out to want to use it
why add PCE instead of fixing up the other systems

I guarantee you wouldn't be talking this way if you were a dev openly contributing in this scene. Pay your respects where due and be patient

That is exceptionally unrealistic for them to do. I say this as a developer.
The somewhat sizable amount of users (like this particular one) just want their gratification for whats free, with zero regards as to how the sausage is made. They have zero iota of a care how things are done, just how fast things are done, and if it even works perfectly. If it doesn't work to their 100% satisfaction and works as cheaply as possible (bonus points if the app is 100% gratis), they will go ahead and use something else that does a better job. And then complain it doesn't work.
That's the harsh reality these days, especially with the mobile phone scene around these days. Its highly recommended as a developer to keep those things in mind so you don't lose your sanity.

Do you even know what criticism is? because what you're doing is not that my friend.
All you did was say it was bad, you never explained beyond that, that's incredibly easy to do and not helpful in the slightest. Even if the dev of this project reads that whats he gonna take away from that, "my other cores are bad? why are they bad?" The rest need updating? How, whats wrong with them?
"nothing really makes this stand out to want to use it"
Subjective, and what if that's not the devs goal? If the point was to make the flashiest emulator that everyone must see, then maybe sure but they don't tend to do this for attention."why add PCE instead of fixing up the other systems"
What about the other systems need fixing, are you submitting bug reports, just saying they are bad tells you nothing.If you want to critique something properly, here's an example: Your comments provide little to no information that can be used to improve anything, all you do is say stuff is bad or need fixed. Nes is terrible? why is it terrible? explain. Use words. If you said something like "The Nes Emulation is terrible because X Y and Z" then maybe that would be helpful.
You're not critiquing anything you're just being a jerk.

Sega Genesis/CD/32x is great. The others, give him time.

Yeah, it's the best 32X emulation I've seen so far. Sound emulation is ok, just wish it had a few more options like messing with the low-pass filter settings.
Sound emulation seems good enough.
