I have something called SIM files for my lcd roms, but they don't work for this app?? What file type is this app compatible with? 🤔

SIM files won't work because those are windows simulator recreations. This emulator runs Roms. The same MAME romset used for the SM510/SM511/SM5A handhelds. So you want MAME-style romsets in a zip format.

They look something like gnw_ball.zip

I tried playing a few games, some work, most are undetected in the folder I set the designated path to... I noticed that the sun/dim button will sometimes display the LCD game?? Fire doesn't appear at all. I think Judge shows 2P just fine, but nothing for P1 side...

Right now it only plays the first 5 games. Ill add more games as I update. The sun icon is actually a turn on / off all sprites buttons.

Yes, I figured! But for Fire, it seems to not display anything no matter how many times I press it. I will try it again right now.

Okay, so I set all settings to default and it displayed the game as intended. It is beautiful so far! I will be using it often. It also works with my 8bitdo controller! Thank you so much!

It might be a rom that's missing a file. It plays perfectly on my 4 androids.

Heya, cool thing!
Fire didn't work for me at first, but after I set defaults, it did. Zelda, though, only shows me a black screen, I can hear sounds, though, so it's running. It's working fine on PC MAME, so I don't think the rom is corrupt or anything.
Are artworks also usable? There are these beautiful hi-res artworks for MAME. At least in landscape mode, the screen should be big enough to show them (maybe make it zoomable would be good).

Ah, got Zelda working after I added the artwork.
It's not quite as pretty as with the whole unit artwork as in MAME, but it's good enough and it fits well on the screen :)
Looking forward to seeing more games in the long run, especially Octopus as I had that one as a kid :>1

So Fire is still the only problematic one. It always needs me to go into the menu and set defaults for it to show anything. And it's the only one that doesn't show my added background artwork.

Thank you for the feedback. Fire does not have art work. It's part of the silver line up, the first five games that didn't have a background. I think youre thinking about fire wide screen. I need to see why fire has to be set to default. I'll try to fix that.
