  yes, but it’s unfortunately much less exciting, because it’s very easy and just works.

  Yes. It’s even easier on Android. Look for RetroArch. It emulates a bunch of consoles.

    Thanks! But wow does its UI make my screen look much smaller than it is.

      If you’re only interested in a few consoles you could try dedicated emulators.

      If retroarch is too much you can try Lemuroid. Lemuroid is a much simpler emulation app with a more straightforward GUI. It doesn’t come anywhere near the features or number of cores of retroarch but it supports most common retro systems.

      Mypizzaboy is the best android emulator tbh

      You can change scaling in options gear > user interface > appearance > menu scale factor

      I don’t know how it works in RetroArch, with Delta you can change the skin which also manages the size and position of the screens. I even designed custom skins to play full screen with no controls with Zelda since you don’t need the abxy and arrow buttons to play.

  Only since like ten years ago.

    Nah. Closer to 15 years since emulation was possible on Android.

  Best Android app for emulating DS is my experience is DraStic.

  • Shush@reddthat.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Can confirm. I played so many games on DRaStic over the last few years. Zero issues.

    Of course, some games are not well suited to a full touch screen, especially if they require quick coordination of both stylus and D-Pad. They are relatively few though - most games work great.
