Customers like the feel of the preloaded electronic game. They say the controls feel great, it has a real arcade feel, and the stick and buttons feel pretty good.

WORKS GREAT WITH ANDROID 4.4 OR BELOW | SAMSUNG GALAXY 4 TABLET + MAME4DROID APP.
5 Stars
WORKS GREAT WITH ANDROID 4.4 OR BELOW | SAMSUNG GALAXY 4 TABLET + MAME4DROID APP.
I purchased two of these used. No, they work on only some games from the appstore (Temple Run). The developers have had a hard time implementing Bluetooth controls into iPad games, so only a few work. Alot of the games you see that work on the Legacy page of the ION site are not in the appstore because Apple has pulled them down from being out of date.TIP: I USE THIS IN COMBINATION WITH MAME4DROID App + SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 4 7" If you are running a droid with 4.4 or below this should work. Once I am home, I will update this review a bit more. My project is to have two 10 " android tablets working with these cabinets until I hack it and turn it into a real retropie build.This project is for my home garage.
