Emulators on Android keep getting better and better!
Edit: I didn't mention Windows Emulation, but Exagear is available as well: ruclips.net/video/wWuITjBcH4M/видео.html
Check out this app and plz plz plz make a small review video on it
Is there a reason you did not mention DIG as a front end? Do you not recommend it?
Is exagear only for PC games?
I can't use some .exe or apps?
Nevermind, I forgot I already have Laptop.
It's given to me by my aunt, but haven't used it that much.
@@bmanske1 Dig is a great frontend it's just not updated fast enough for my my liking. I prefer Launchbox/Reset over it, but frontends will largely come down to personal preference. Arc didn't make the list either.
Where's reicast?
And the best *Emulator RUclipsr?* MR SUJANO!
True
The MMJ stands for "Subscribe to Mr. Sujano"
I said this prior to watching the video lol
Right
Exagear Windows Emulator 😀 Max Payne 3 on mobile 😄
I really love lemuroid , it is getting better and better (i use it for 16 bit games emulation). Drastic is still the king of DS emulation tho . Really looking forward for the future of melonDS
It's been a year... Things have changed drastically (no pun intended). I think that this is one topic that you should revisit each year!
Thanks for the tips. Looking forward to trying out Lemuroid, I've always felt like Retroarch is convoluted
Xash3D, an android emulator for the Half-Life engine, is freaking amazing.
@PRIVATE Alpha woah, thank you for the insight
Technically it's not an emulator, it's just the game working on an engine that's compatible with android.
@PRIVATE Alpha But nonetheless it'd still an amazing piece of software.
That's a engine port. Not emulator btw
@PRIVATE Alpha thanks
I have enjoyed your very informative uploads, especially this one. You forgot on very special emulator. It's called Matsu player which has multiple emulating core like retroarch.
Thank you as always very useful information. Love being able to hook my phone to my 8 bitdo pro 2 and play Nintendo 64 and PlayStation games during lunch. Ppsp is going to be my next emulator once I get a bigger sim card.
I used to use lemuroid a lot, but the lack of a quick fast-forward option (have to go into the menu/settings) made me switch to Retroarch, which ended up being a great decision.
Retroarch is so hard to use bro how
@@SyndFire Yo! Anything that's easy to use was made so that one has to think LESS. Take that into consideration. And some things only seem hard until we've learned how to do it.
Take 1-2 hours max. And really really watch a few retroarch guides. I HIGHLY recommend checking out retro game corps guide on retroarch he goes through every single menu in reteoarch in detail and explains what it does. Saddle up partner; its rewarding once you've gor it all set up and know how to use it.
@@mathisblair2798 thank you I'll check it out
I'm just getting into this when I got my tab ultra 8. Does retroarch have good wii u emulator?
@@FunKaYxxD1sCO there's no wii u emulator on android
Since I'm late and was recommended from a family member , I do enjoy the reliable sources and information for emulator's on Android. Thanks man.
Great video, thanks. Also glorious beard
Drastic is such a good emulator that not even DS emulators on windows are on par with it. (which goes to show poor state of DS emulation) Hopefully drastic can go open source so everyone can have fun, but it's been really so long since they announce going open source and free..
Newer version of Melon DS(stand alone PC ver) is the one close to drastic coz use Drastic bios(if I remember it right), I already try it with my Athlon 3000g +2x4gb 2400mhz ram, it's run everything (maybe? I test it with 20+ games even fans hack like Newer Super Mario Bros DS) At full speed some even can be upscale to 1080p/720p but some need use software rendering to run full speed or no glitch in visual.
Same, drastic is so good, I'm sad that it isn't available on other platforms yet.
Maybe one day we can get it on retroarch somehow, that would be a dream come true.
@@IAMNOTRANA well my motto is play what I can play first than game that I can play later, while Drastic is great but the lack of news for 2 years (if my memory serve me right) about Drastic going to OpenSource so I who want play DS badly cannot wait even try use Bluestack but realize its pain in the ass to setup my Roms folder and when I hear Mr Sujano drop the news about MelonDS update a month ago, I am so excited for at last I can play DS game in my PC without use that horrible Desmume and Bluestack+Drastic anymore and what you know its run many of my game perfectly except Bangai-O and TrackMania who need use Software rendering if I try use OpenGL Bangai-O have visual glitch while TrackMania run half FPS.
Yeah, I agree. DraStic should really have a PC version, DraStic works godly both on my low-end device and high-end device (android). I've tried all the DS emulators available for Windows like DeSmuME, MelonDS, Ideas, No$GBA, and Retroarch's DeSmuME and MelonDS core but they all run at 25fps max and no matter how hard I try to configure the settings, off all the HD enhancer options, they would always work on 23/25fps.
What I really like about DraStic is the built-in cheats
I downloaded Redream after watching this video. That decision changed the trajectory of my life... Thank you.
lol glad to be of service
Thanks - Great Video
My favourite is Retroarch because the good selection of 8 and 16 bit systems. It get updates and not likely to get discontinued like a lot of the older good emulators that has been released on Android since the beginning of Android.
A couple of newer and funny emulators worth checking out is J2me loader (Java mobile) and EKA2L1 (symbian mobile)
Keep up the stuff (no fluff) man!
5:25 smooth CTA right there, Mr. Sujano 😎
I really hope they use different namespaces so we don't need to uninstall one version of Dolphin to try another (and possibly go between versions depending on game compatibility).
Thanku for the remake of thus video as everything since the original has drastically changed
I love Lemuroid, thanks for the recommendation
Best emulation channel ever!
Thanks!
Thank you for this very informative video. I was looking for the best 3ds emulator for my phone. Now i got one with citra mmj. Thank you😊
ey u are almost far at 100k keep it up
Not sure if you'll see this dinosaur of a message, but thank you so much for recommending duckstation. I just recently revisited it, and the optimization and lack of bugs make it 10 times better than what I was forced to use prior
And a side note: pairing a Bluetooth playstation controller + a cord that casts your phone to a flat screen makes this super ideal and revives so many of my childhood memories. I owe to to you for completing this experience with the right emulator
Glad your back
thank you so much for taking your time to help us out!
Edit: I subscribed
This was great, thanks man
I gotta say building a RetroPie and using RetroArch kinda bummed me out, but getting standalone emulators on my android has turned it around for me
Man that old thumbnail had you without magnificent beard
Since that been 1 years this video do you think you will do a updated version soon ? Do you have a recommandation for arcade and mame emulator ?
You are the best man thank's for apps information 😊
Did you do a video on emulation for apple? I was thinking about getting an inexpensive apple product to try this
You didn’t mentioned arc browser. A very good frontend. Great video 👍
I passed up Dig and Arc. They are good options too!
What do you think of DIG for an emulator front-end? I've been looking to add it to my device and it seems like a pretty good option. What are your thoughts on it?
It's great! There is also a new one called Daijisho
love your videos!! :)
Thanks so much Lemoroid! I can emulate sonic 3 thanks so much!
RetroArch has the best SNES and Genesis emulators in the form of cores: BSNES HD Beta & GenesisGX Wide respectively.
I'm gonna hear you talking about retro arch in my dreams
0:18 Mr. Sujano: "Somethings have changed"
Me: **Staring hard at his beard(s)**
Hey mr sujano! Does redream have naomi and atomiswave support? I really want to play games on those systems
Very useful video. But with regards to the EggNS Emulator, if Yuzu is open source, then by the very nature of open source software, it should be available for everybody, so how can somebody steal what is supposed to be accessible to them in the first place?
Also: Lemuroid DOES run on the Chromecast with GoogleTV while RetroArch doesn't, don't remember it it was because of the limited storage or the RAM
So for the standalone emulators, for any one of them are you able to amp the quality or Fps?
Among the 6 emulation apps I use, my favs would be 🐬 MMJR2, Redream, Mame4Droid, AetherSX2, DuckStation, and Lemuroid. Lemuroid covers the most systems but I have a hard time revisiting old 16-bit games with Mame4Droid there.
Listening to your voice is a pleasure
The very first App on android was invented back in 2007 by a Tech Nerd named "Appy McApp App"
For PS1 I use FPse64. I like it that I can use a super ultra wide hack on all games and they don't look stretched while covering the full display of my phone. Duckstation was working fine, but for whatever reason it stopped working properly. I thought I messed up the settings, but clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix it.
i use ePSXe 2.0 with open gl plugin and it is beautifull. it also has the widescreen fix for all games and it makes them look great on 480p, i will try duckstation soon to see what all the fuzz is all about but i wonder why nobody mentions epsxe as it is the best !
@@diegodylard5192 I have used ePSXe also, it's hard to decide between it and FPse64, they both work great. I didn't know ePSXe had the same WS hack.
Duckstation is like AetherX, they have the exact same interface and options. Maybe it is too robust for a ps1 emulator and I broke it somehow.
I gave up on FPSxe as it stopped working despite having already paid for the premium/adfree one. Mind it was on my old GPD XD (Duckstation not work in 32 bit 😅).
Everything else, I stuck to the RetroArch cores.
You Are The Man! ✊️❤️
I was skipping through a lot of the video because most of my games fwork in RetroArch from atari 2600 to PSP, but I didn't see anything for original Xbox.dd I miss it somewhere?
I just subscribed 👌
I just hearted this comment 👌
Thanks for your work :)
Please, make a tutorial for Bezel and overlay on retroarch... for android
On RG351 ratio is automatic (4/3 - 16/9)..., on my shield tv i'm lost... my settings is random and bad result...
Thanks a lot :) Your job is amazing :)
nice bro thanks 🔥
Duckstation enable PGXP + downsampling Really beautiful
I believe Skyline will be one of my new favs on Android within a few years. I wanted to download Sonic Mania last night but I kept getting sent to bad sites. 🤦🏻♂️ I'll just wait a few more years for Switch emulation to get better.
Agreed 💯
Skyline and aethersx2
Are legends
DamonPS2 and EGG NS
Are trash
However I hope that in the future skyline will stay the same being free no ads no bs apart from the edge version though
@@user-uu1tm7bk4r guess what happend to those they were the one to shutdown
@@user-uu1tm7bk4r this aged very poorly, at least aether was very far in development
Do you happen to know how to hide that you're using an emulator from a game on your phone? I don't want to play video games from when I was a kid so I watched like half of your video and it seems like that's all you were talking about and I'm having a difficult time finding information on how to hide and emulator or have Township not know I'm using an emulator because it restricts specific parts of the game that I enjoy if you use an emulator but I can't use game Guardian if I don't use an emulator because I am not going to root my phone and I need root access so if you have any suggestions for me I would greatly appreciate it!
I use both duckstation and the free m64. Work great on my lower end phone ( moto g power)
The problem I have with retroarch and the PlayStation is no matter what core I use the game freezes for final fantasy 8 when I'm on the space station... Therefore I use EPSXE. I would use FPS but the cheat system is lacking as you can either set it for activate once or once every certain frames and it's just not the same as any other emulator out there...
Retroarch is very inspiring however its always got problems the stand alone emulators always work best. This is why we need a all in one front end loader. I was sold on launchbox but when athersx2 was left behind I'm now still on the hunt for one that just loads the game straight in to the standalone emulator from the front end loaders art interface. We can only dream.
I got 60 PS2 games on my phone now. I never got to have my own PlayStation 2 when it came out. I was just out of highschool and poor af lol
HELP:
I'm trying to play the old "Oregon Trail" on my simpsons arcade 1up android cabinet. I'm using retroarch & dos_pure core. Can't get it to work right. Game starts to menu but pops up a error wanting me to type something or exit. Any ideas?
I'm spoiled with Retroarch with its real-time rewind function,any good standalone emulators with real time rewind? Looking for nes/gb(c) and gba
I cant get to download the MMJ downloads in github, it just says needs authorization everytime i would install citra or dolphin so pls what could you recommend
0:19 Something has Changed yes Your Beard
I like the longer videos 😀
Haha there was no way to squish this one down
I'm glad to see Pizza Boy on this list
Is there any way to access an extended options menu or at least a configuration file in Lemuroid? It looks like it's using bilinear filters in Final Burn and MAME, and that drives me bananas. Also, you can't shut off the copyright notice at the start of arcade games, and who wants to see that?!
I just wanted to ask that is there any way to play sega cd games on Android
Could you make a tutorial video on how to play sega cd games on Android if there is an emulator for it or something
TLDW is there one that can run both GBA and NDS? Also, would these use the same ROMs that emulators for PC use? I've used no$gba and Desmume on PC and have .sav files.
Such a magnificent beard, almost majestic
Ppsspp is amazing. The majority of games I run through it have little to no lag, and it works perfectly with my Ipega Bluetooth controller. Also, Snes9x EX+ is pretty solid.
If yall wanna install citra mmj you gotta edit the app first in the apk editor if you have a device so like 2gb ram
I have
•AetherSX2
•Citra Official
•Citra MMJ
•PPSSPP
I play DS in my old phone before, haven't played in my new phone.
Other Emulator you might pick up
2:10 John GBAC Which support Gameboy Color/ advance, it has some ads but you can block them by internet access
Also, John NESS which supports NES and SNES because I use them to play retro games but some games have Glitch issues on this Emulator
8:58 you could we ePSX Emulator if you having troubles with Duckstation
But, it requires PS1 bios file
9:16 This Emulator is not recommended because old version was able to run and support Cue file or fan Translation games now this version doesn't support Cue file so don't waste you space on this Emulator it doesn't work on sega Saturn 💿
So you may not know this but John GBAC apparently is rumored to have stolen source codes from another emulator (i forgot what emu tho) but i guess it's a decent emulator i mean i used it for about a year before finding out the rumors
@@QP_lite but , at least it's work perfectly not like other Emulator who charge money to gave save slot or tons of ads
@@royalkumar795 yeah i guess you got a point, let's just agree to disagree
You are the best ❤...thank you
Snes9x EX+ Doesn't work for Hong Kong 97. What Emulator would you suggest for HK97?
Isn't Retroarch technically a front end for emulators too? The cores are individual emulators aren't they?
That is true but RetroArch has emulator cores that aren't available as standalone emulators on Android.
@@thegamerfe8751 It's in the very first sentence of the description too lol.
It seems like just a frontend but its actually a modular emulation environment with online multiplayer support and server/client support for hosting.. Plus, a lot of the cores aren't available anywhere else and some cores add functionality (like ffmpeg for media playback). The extensive added functionality and downloadable cores are what makes it truly modular..
HeY Mr Sujan😮.
I've used your Tips (in the past).
It would be cool if someone like "Robert Broglia" makes an Amiga Emulator (& they should update the UAE4droid).
All the best and have fun 😀
Just what I asked for :)
The difference between ppsspp and it's golden counterpart is that the free version does get you some unwanted glitches and some games might freez but the golden has little glitches so it's not just the flex
What type of glitches are you talking about?

I know it's very iffy with performance but do you have a original Xbox or Xbox 360 option to try with hand-held consoles (think Odin Pro)
I'm surprised the OG Xbox emulation doesn't seem to be a thing on handhelds.
I've used Lemeroid for a long time and I'd say it's pretty good. But with the newest update, my save files have been disappearing, for ex: I would play a game for 2 hours and then saved and quit like I normally do, but then when I came back, my progress was lost all 2 hours of it. Hopefully Filippo will do smt about it, bcus like I said, this is a good emulator, but in it's current state, I cant reccomend it
I'm currently running Daijishō frontend on my Samsung Note 9. nice setup, add paths to it, then when you try launch a game it suggests Emulator to use for that certain game. like PizzaBoy GBA free, ppsspp, duckstation, AtherSX2, Dolphin. All that I have right now, there is a free N64 one it recommends, but it has ads annoying. lol
you are the BEST man
Is emulation actually complicated for some people? It seemed really straight forward to me
Best utuber is mr sujano
On Pc retroarch but on Android the standalone versions because it has mostly better performance than the cores.
Is there a good Atari Jaguar or ZXSpectrum emulator for android?
excellent!
I been trying to run 3ds on retroarch for lil while with no luck, got other consoles but lemroid workee first try
From what I know about Nintendo DS emu on android devices that tend to lag because I wanted to play Mario kart 64 DS version but it's a Mario kart DS ROM hack but it was lagging really bad.
use drastic emulator
i HIGHLY RECOMEND GBCC for gameboy and it is perferct and is the most complex but easy to use emulator
Could you make another video on this subject?
Are any of these better than Duck Station cause, i've been using it for years and i'm not sure about moving from it...😅
Possibly important to note, the Emulation General/Gametech Wiki is a fantastic resource
Yes!
You forgot to mention
J2ME Emulator for J2ME Nokia phones and
EKA2L1 for Nokia symbian Emulator
Both Emulator are great to run JAR java games and sis Symbian games
For me J2ME is the best android emulator. I love java games. :)
Following the EKA2L1 development on their Discord 😎
i have problem with lumriod. I just played the game and when i retured it will ask again to download the core.
I have an n64 controller. Can anyone suggest which emulator is best for android with the option to map buttons??
Hope we get an xbox emulator soon there's lot of nice game on xbox that I want to play I know ps3 emulator is too much to ask for now but an xbox emulator will be great,for now I'm using aethersx2 and it's by far the best phone emulator that I tried
I agree!!!
I use Dolphin, Aethersx2, and PPSSPP.
i cant find citra on my app store and when i download it in the website it says apps not installed
