I don't know about MAME, but I just put all my ROMs in the root of the storage and they are easy enough for each emulator to find.

Really? Just chucked in? I put mine in folders "SNES" and "N64".

[Mafro]

Yeah I'm messy like that. I really should sort them into folders.

So what this thread is telling me is, buy an Xperia Play for emulation.......where and how much?

On-line is your best bet, a couple of places are doing it £149.99 + £10 top up. Should come with a 16GB SD card.

Noice, consider that my next phone.

What SNES games are good to play on a touchscreen phone? All the ones I downloaded control terribly. Action games games in particular, for obvious reasons. I know I could just play with a Wii remote but it kinda defeats the point.

Is there any way to play Advance Wars on an Android phone?

[chalkitdown]

Of course. Just download a GBA emulator and the rom of the game.

None of them. Touchscreens are rubbish controllers for a video-game.

They're probably okay on a tablet with some form off haptic feedback for button presses. On even a good size smartphone screen there simply isn't enough room to control games precisely.

It's almost passable in portrait mode on my Galaxy Nexus' 4.65 inch screen, but still imprecise

Works nicely on the pull out control pad of the Xperia Play.
I've not tried the PS1 emulator on it yet (if such a thing exists) but going to check this as it will be a cheap way to play Silent Hill and RE2 on the move.

There's a PSone emulator on the Android Market https://market.android.com/details?id=c ... i5mcHNlIl0.

If I had a Wii Classic Controller I'd use that, but then that kind of negates the whole portability part of it anyway. The Play looks pretty good in that regard.

Hilarious. You are on the bus and suddenly decide to have a game of Mario Kart. Out comes the controller....

[Cuttooth]

Connected to a Wii remote of course.

Hey there's a ScummVM app on the marketplace.

EDIT - Well, it's certainly not optimised for mobile phones.
