Other options

The ones mentioned previously are not the only emulators you can find. There are others that may be of interest to you, although they do not always work as well or give you the same options. One of the available DS emulators is Drastic. It does not work at all bad, although it has given more problems NDS4Droid. Gambatte is another emulator for Game Boy that doesn't work too badly either. For fans of MAME arcade games, there is the option of MAME4Android. If you want an emulator for Game Boy Advance, My Boy is a good option, and it also allows multiplayer.

Does it pay to have an emulator?

The offer of games available for Android is huge. Therefore, it may be somewhat absurd for many users to install an emulator, but the nostalgia may weigh slightly more for many users. Games like Final Fantasy, Super Mario or some versions of Pokémon have a charisma that not all games have. For this reason, it can be interesting to use an emulator. We recommend choosing the one of the console that you have used the most or the one that you like the most.

Finally, a small reminder for all those interested in installing one of these emulators on your smartphones. You need to have the roms of the games. Without them it is completely useless to install any of these emulators and you will not be able to play any game. So keep that in mind and look for the roms online. Player and developer forums are always a great option, as trusted sources will tell you.
