    Well put together, game won’t load.

    I did the correct process to install Disgaea 3, and am stuck at a black screen when I hit &#39;Emulation&#39;. However, I understand that the app just came out, and am willing to give grace, but please find a solution or tell me something I did wrong.

    Games not showing

    I’ve been waiting years for something like this and finally someone has done it!! But please fix the issue with the games not showing up, it says game successfully installed but it doesn’t show up in the list. Even with the correct license installed. Please fix the issue! I’m aware that this is new and a work in progress. And I love the effort being put into it.

    Unfortunate

    I paid for this not expecting much, and I know that Vion is still in a very early stage. But, even when trying to load 2D visual novels, the entire game would just crash or the screen freezes up during the booting process. Its unfortunate because I believe that this project has potential and I really want to emulate on iOS without the hassle of a computer. I hope I can actually play a game sooner or later.
