Developer CPasJuste has released pEMU 6.6 for the PS4, Nintendo Switch, Linux, and PS Vita. This new release fixes some bugs, and the developer keeps working on Android support. Android support remains “Work in progress” and we are not seeing an Android binary in the release yet. The pEmu suite are pretty stable emulators that can provide a very good alternative to Retroarch.
