Is Retroarch the best overall emulator for older games on android, or is it better to get individual emulators, and if so, which ones? Preferably Snes, NES, Gensis/Mega Drive, etc...
Thanks for any info.

Yep. Best emulator.
I've tried a few stand alone from the Play Store, and also independant ones no longer supported.
Here's my favorites so far:
Sega Genesis: MD.emu
SNES: SuperGNES
NES: Nostalgia.NES

When I first got the Evo, July I believe, I tried an emulator and it lagged pretty bad, button response was terrible, so I quit and I never tried again. Any idea where I can grab a NES, SNES, and Sega emulators? Where can I get games for them?
I did a search for this, but it was all for the Touch HD.

I was looking for more trusted sites so that I could go somewhere without worrying about what I am downloading. I was also hoping for insight on the emulator that would have the least lag.

Which emulator are you looking for; playstation, nes, ect?
SNESoid, GENsoid, and NESoid all have lite version available in the market (only difference is the instant save/load feature is disabled.
I have the entire english library of SNES, Genesis, and NES games on my droid (I don't game on the EVO, no good controls lol)
Don't listen to any of these noobs.
Go to the Market and search for "EMULATOR ROMS" by COOLCODE.ORG
The offer an app that you can download emulators and roms directly from their app.
I don't want to give out any site names so PM if you want...

The Xperia Play is an awesome gaming device no doubt about it, I have several emulators including Sega Genesis, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear. From what I can tell practically every game system up to the ps2 can be emulated. So my first question is.
Is Nintendo Wii Emulation possible on the Xperia Play? And my second.
Is there any chance we can get a Saturn, dreamcast, Sega CD or 32x emulator? Those last 2 are Genesis attachments btw.
Nintendo Wii emulation is still difficult on current DESKTOP computers, what makes you think it'll work on the Play?

This is the latest on the secret Dreamcast emulator, it works but its basically an early alpha.
As for the other ones, they havent been done yet apart from the Sega CD.

Sega Saturn emulator (I think): http://www.explusalpha.com/home/saturn-emu

How can I play Sega CD games??
I've found a way to play all our retro favourites from the Sega mega drive/genesis and Nintendo SNES era on our android phones.....
first you need "DroidEmu" from the play store, then you need to visit "emuparadise" http://www.emuparadise.me/ and download your game of choice. The games are downloaded in Zip format so they'll need to be extracted before DroidEmu will open them, but most of the files are sub 1mb, so won't take too long to download and extract. DroidEmu may ask you to allow download of extra files in order to play the game.....so far as I can tell, this is to be expected, and should be allowed..........enjoy
Edit......As well as playing Mega drive/Genesis and Nintendo SNES games, DroidEmu will also play games from NES, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Colour and Gamegear consoles.... and as far as I can tell, the extra downloads I mentioned earlier, are "plugins" that allow this app to play games from all the above mentioned diverse consoles.....

Honestly these emulators are better because they aren't meant to do the whole "all in one" and do what they are designed to do.
GBA - My Boy
GBC - GBCoid
SNES - SNESoid
PSX - FPSE
N64 - N64oid
NDS - NDS4droid
PSP - PPSSPP
Dreamcast - NullDC

Normal .iso and .cso files should be able to run and also .pbp which is uses with the PSP's inbuilt PSX emulator. Maybe you got one which is .ccd which cannot run on FPse or any PSX emulator to be honest.

Have you downloaded any of the N64 game to try yet because they work on my phone no problem even when zipped.
I think this thread should be in the "Apps & Themes" forum.

Its more of a discussion about android emus rather than sharing a new app for the phone but whatever my participation goes only as far as suggestions and troubleshooting.
The PSX emulator FPSE is great! Now, I play YugiOh! Forbidden Memories. Such an ancient game! lol :laugh:
Did Ouya play store take emulators down? I was thinking about buying one but may not of this is the case. I know you can sideload but..

Not that I can see, also there are plenty of free emulators on the ouya store that run every bit as good as other 'paid' emulators.
The exception in my findings is that epsxe for android is far superior to other playstation emulators on the platform (also they support ouya out of the box).
Robert Broglia is the name to remember with emulators at the mooment.
Mupen64 is good but if you can find a 2.7 version of n64oid, it works even better for n64 games..
Retroarch android has many of these emulators built into the system and it is open source and free.

I dunno. I paid for several of them. I was playing my GBA emulator of Final Fantasy 5 last night. All of my Emulators were on there. Actually they just updated the "Stock" NES/SNES/Atari Emu (it's weird though)
Ouya plays roms like a champ! The GBA emulator works flawlessly as does all the SNES roms I've tried. The SNES emulator is very jazzy and grabs all of the cover art automatically. I haven't used the "stock" version because you have to throw everything into a "Roms" file on the internal storage I think. I like my roms separated by console.
Okay I am looking for some good emulators. Suggestions would be most welcome. My plan is take the S3 and then load on a slim ROM and some emulators so as to hook it up to my TV and play emulators on my TV. However looking though the emulators there are just so many. I am trying to find some that would possibly allow for multiple controllers or at the least multi player over wifi. Overall I am looking at just about every known emulator. For things like GBA, N64, PS1, NDS, among others.
Also ideas on controllers, and/or ROMs it would be much appreciated.

Thanks, do you know if it supports multiple controllers?
I was wondering what emulators people have experience with or know about.

Multiple controllers are not supported, because psp platform is made for single player mode
But game can be played with friends with ad-hoc mode
