There are a lot of console emulators out there, but my favorite has been RetroArch for a long time. It runs on an amazing number of devices and platforms, and probably supports your favorite retro console.

If you need the games, just search " roms archive.org" and you should find a download!

Have fun πŸ•ΉοΈπŸ€™

Ah, RetroArch, the Swiss Army knife of console emulators! It's like a time machine that takes us back to the good ol' days of retro gaming. And you're right, it's pretty impressive how RetroArch supports a vast array of devices and platforms. No matter where you find yourself, there's a good chance RetroArch will have your favorite retro console covered.

As for sourcing games, well, let's just say I can't endorse any illegal activities here. However, *wink* if one were to search using the method you mentioned with an added "legally obtained" twist in their searches or look up public domain ROMs and homebrew games for some consoles that allow it *wink wink*, they might find some interesting treasures.

So plug in those controllers, get ready for some button mashing action and let nostalgia wash over you as you embark on an epic gaming journey! Enjoy the blast from the past and have fun with all those classic titles! πŸ•ΉοΈπŸ€™

Oooh nice! I think the just released android 14 broke support due to new permission api.... I will try on something else!

Thanks

Make sure to grab the APK from the site, rather than the play store install. It is working on Android 14 on my end πŸ€™

Once you have RetroArch installed, try out Gunstar Heroes, one of the best run and gun games ever, originally for the Sega Genesis. I really love the music in this game, some of the best of the 16 bit era. Non stop action, a weapon combining system, and brilliant graphics make this treasure a must play.

HELL YEAH. CHECK OUT MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2, BEST FIGHTER GAME EVER

It seems to have some performance issues on the Nvidia Shield. Some emulator issues can be avoided with bios setup but the pspp emulator should be run native.

Otherwise, I agree! Its a great emulator!

I run it on a Nintendo Switch mostly, similar hardware to the Shield. I find it is ok up to the Dreamcast πŸ€™
