Other reviews seem to be very confused about what this app does. It is not an emulator. It does not play games. What it does is allow users to patch their ROM files with hacks and other changes contained in "patches" distributed online. This is useful for things like translation hacks of Japanese games which were not released in English, and customized versions of games with new levels, among many other things.
It also has a few extra tricks for handling ROMs, like managing SNES headers (patches must be applied to the same type of ROM as they were created with).
The only major missing feature for me is write-privileges for external SD cards; I have to do all my patching on internal memory then move my files to the external SD card. I rated five-star anyway because the other reviews which don't understand what this app is are unfairly dragging down its rating.

Product description
Please read before you download: This program will not help you hack native android games, it was created for the old console games (Super Nintendo, Sega MegaDrive, Game Boy Advance, Sony PlayStation etc.).UniPatcher allows you to apply patches to the game ROM. What is a patch? The patch is a file with the modified data of the game. For example, a game translated from Japanese to English. You download the patch containing the translation. It must be applied to the Japanese version to get the English version.
How to use? Very simple:
- Choose a patch
- Choose a game
- Click "Save"
Very important: if the game and patch compressed (zip, rar, 7z or other), they first need to unzip (I recommend the free program ZArchiver).
Help with translations:
You can help with translation of the program into your language. The translations are managed on https://www.transifex.com/unipatcher/unipatcher
