Take a trip down Nostalgia-lane on Your Android Device.
You no longer need to chain yourself to a desktop to get your retrogaming fix.
With the surge in mobile computing, console emulators have naturally made the leap to mobile platforms.
This article features a series of retro-gaming console emulators for Android....we'd love to hear your reviews on any you have tried.

RetroArch:
We begin with an app that isn't so much an emulator, as it is a whole mess of emulators rolled into one neat package. Whether you're looking for Nintendo emulators (NES, SNES, GBA), Sony PSX, Sega Master System, Genesis/Megadrive, or others, RetroArch is a great place to start your search for a good Android retrogaming emulator. RetroArch includes plug and play detection of USB and Bluetooth controllers, save states, fast forward, configurable touch controls, and more. Best of all, RetroArch is totally free!

Nesoid:
Nesoid is an open sourceNintendo Entertainment System emulator for Android devices. The app features configurable touch control layouts, save state support, fast forwarding through unskippable story sections, built-in screenshotting, and Game Genie cheat enabling, as well as Bluetooth controller support (though compatibility is a bit iffy with some devices it seems). There's even support for more esoteric addons, such as the old NES lightgun and emulation for the Famicom disk system.

Snesoid:
For SNES emulation, the first of the apps we'd recommend would be Snesoid. Snesoid covers the bases with save state, a configurable virtual keypad, Bluetooth support for wireless controllers, and netplay support, just like Nesoid. There are a fair number of options included, such as the ability to turn transparency on and off, frameskip, and Superscope support.

Snes9x EX+:
Snes9x EX+, a free emulator by Robert Broglia (who also makes many other fine emulators) is the other SNES emulator we'd recommend. It has the added benefit of being available from the Google Play Market, so you can at least guarantee that it's gotten some vetting. Save states, a configurable virtual keypad, and broad input device support for Bluetooth controllers and USB gamepads, combined with dependable compatibility make for another great feature-packed emulator.

Gameboid:
Gameboid is a free emulator that covers Gameboy Advance emulation. Gameboid hews closely to its siblings Nesoid and Snesoid, right down to the design and options available in its menus. Unlike the previous two emulators, Gameboid does not have net play support. Still, good compatibility and stability make it a decent emulator for running GBA games.

Gearoid:
For Sega Master System and Game Gear support, Gearoid is our current go-to emulator. It features the same design and feature sensibilities of Nesoid and its siblings and save state support, fast forward modes, and frameskip are among Gearoid's features. Unfortunately, it doesn't feature the net play that makes Nesoid and Snesoid such neat free emulators.

Gensoid:
For Genesis and MegaDrive emulation, try Gensoid (which seems to be from the same coder(s) behind Gearoid et al, judging by naming convention and menu layout and options). Again, the standard features of save state and fastforward are there, along with frameskip, resolution scaling, and configurable virtual keypads. The virtual pad can be configured to support the six-button control layout of some Genesis/Megadrive controllers. Additionally, Gensoid also features netplay support.

MD.emu:
For a more feature-packed Genesis/Megadrive emulator, try Robert Broglia's MD.emu, a paid emulator that covers the Genesis/MegaDrive, as well as the Master System and Sega CD. Besides the basics (save state, fast forward, etc.), MD.emu is packed with loads of extra features for emulating the various Sega consoles, including six-button controller support, four-player multitap, Menacer and Justifier gun controller emulation, and more.

Neo.emu:
Neo.emu is another Robert Broglia-made emulator, this time covering Neogeo arcade and home system game consoles. Neo.emu provides save state and memory card support, a good compatibility list with zipped ROMs using MAME, onscreen touch or keyboard controls, as well as wireless support for controllers such as the Wiimote or generic USB gamepads.

FPSE for Android:
FPSE for Android is one of the premiere paid PSX emulators on the Google Play market, and the functions and features show this. Save states, highly customizable onscreen controls (still not recommended, but it does make things easier if you don't have a gamepad), and good compatibility across a stretch of games and ROM formats cover the basics. The app also includes force feedback, analog stick emulation, and a highly configurable set of graphics options that even allow for OpenGL support for high quality graphics rendering.

I have used FPSE for Android and in my opinion it is definitely the best PSX emulator for android. I can play Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 all on my phone with ease
