Sorry you're having issues. Save states work automatically, and the emulated system also has two memory cards if you prefer to use that. Please send us an email at [email protected] so we can help you.

Basic and bad user experience. It has no options to change anything, so if something doesn't work, you can't do anything about it. Useless with my Gamesir G8 Galileo, every click on the analog sticks (R3 and L3) would open the app menu, basically making it useless, this is not a normal behavior for the controller in other apps. Un intuitive and bad access to save states.

Hi there, sorry you're having issues, but we appreciate the extra information. We've acquired a G8 for testing, and were able to reproduce and fix your issue. A fix is included in version 72. You can force an update with the 'check for updates' button in the settings tab. Thanks again for your patience, and happy gaming!
