In the Google Play Store, there are many video game emulators. Searching for, say, a Super Nintendo emulator brings up at least ten of them. Most of the emulators have ads or require you to pay. My emulators page saves you the trouble of looking for emulators by listing all the best ones for each system. Although these days the selection of good, free emulators are running dry. You'll need to rely on RetroArch , the multi-system emulator, to satisfy most of your emulation needs.
Android offers many emulators dedicated to a single video game system, but it also has a few emulators that support multiple video game systems.
Which one should you use? Well, I recommend using both. Specifically, the multi-system emulator I recommend is RetroArch. For example, if the SNES emulator isn't performing to your liking, RetroArch gives you the option of multiple cores multiple emulators to choose from for each system.
But RetroArch is not very user-friendly, so the single-system emulators are better in that regard. Try both and see which one you like the best. One area where RetroArch beats single-system emulators is with tablets and Play Store supported Chromebooks.
Single-system emulators are designed for smartphones; they don't fare well on a large screen. RetroArch is designed for everything , so that'll be your go-to emulator on those devices. ClassicBoy is a rising competitor to RetroArch.
It's a simpler multi-system emulator with a nice, visual design. ClassicBoy is a free emulator that doesn't have ads. However, there's a catch. It does have 'ads' in the sense that it teases you with support for SNES and other systems, but enabling support for those systems requires payment.
This isn't so bad, considering the large number of systems it supports for free. RetroArch is still my top recommendation. But yet, if you find RetroArch intimidating, ClassicBoy would be a better alternative for you with its friendlier, more visually appealing design.
DuckStation is a relatively new and promising PlayStation 1 emulator. Its emulation quality is excellent - it's possibly better than ePSXe. I recommend enabling the PGXP corrections to correct texturing and jittery animation.
One drawback with DuckStation is that it's not Chromebook-friendly. At the time I'm writing this, they even removed DuckStation from being available for Chromebooks altogether, for some reason. But yet, ePSXe still has a better interface; it's easier and friendlier to use. It's Chromebook-friendly. It's up to you to decide which emulator would be better for your needs.
The CUE sheet is a simple text file with a programmatic list of the audio tracks. ROM websites deliver games in one of four formats:. I need to point out that not all of the above formats are compatible with emulators on Android. With a properly prepared ISO, the next steps are easy. All you do is copy over the proper BIOS and configure it with the emulator you're using.
Every emulator does it a little differently. It might require you to place the BIOS in the emulator's root folder. Or it might require you to configure the BIOS in the settings.

Redream is one of only two competent Dreamcast emulators on the Google Play Store. It boasts a high compatibility rate and it rans all of the games we tested at full speed without any issues. People seem to have some better luck with Reicast on older or lower end devices, so you may want to try both to see which one works best for you. RetroArch is one of the most unique emulators.
It has the capacity to emulate a bunch of different consoles. The app itself is the emulator. People download cores that run inside of the app. Each core is a different console. However, most of the emulator cores work extremely well. This is a great option for those who like to emulate multiple consoles without wanting to download a bunch of apps.
Lemuroid Google Play is another emulator that works much the same as RetroArch. Robert Broglia is a developer on Google Play. He has some of the most popular and stable emulators on mobile. The Commodore 64 emulator is probably the best in its class and the rest are definitely right up there. Each one has a free version to try with a pro version that unlocks all of the features.
