Now that our buying guide (or a first draft of it) is done, let’s get back to our usual discussions. This week’s topic is emulators, by request of u/AlmightySnoo. As emulators could not be loaded on iPhones without jumping through many hoops, Android remains the preferred OS for emulation on smartphones.
(Reminder, rule 2 is in effect, so please don’t give out links to ROM sites.)
Now, as we all know, the mobile gaming landscape in 2023 is not great exactly. Most of the games in twr Play Store are designed for frustration instead of fun, littered with microtransactions, timegating, and of course, ads. Even the good games have terrible monitization practices, and there are a lot more bad games than good.
But emulated games are a way to get away from that, and let us remember a time when games on the go are simply games that are fun and nothing else, the nights when you are sitting in the backseat of your parents car with only the glow of your GameBoy and the passing streetlight as you play Pokemon. Nostalgia from a time when we didn’t have grownup things to worry about.
But of course, many emulators didn’t only aim to “emulate” the original console, but to enhance them into the modern age: Save states, rewind, enhanced graphics, texture replacements, easy cheats, touchscreen and gamepads. Things we could only dream of as kids are now reality.
So, please share your experiences with emulation on Android and give out some cool tips and tricks here.
(A special shoutout to RetroArch for having the (dis)honor of staying as one of the most frustrating software that I have ever used.)
The midrange buying guide links to a ‘hot wife in the kitchen’ post.
I’m not kinkshaming, Margot, but if I where you I’d prefer a mirror.

Links to the following for me:

The rest of the links seem to work
Err… I really don’t know then. Take a screenshot of the comment source and paste it here, because I have

Lol the source seems ok, but still links to the kitchen kitten somehow. Even the link in my own post…
It maybe Connect having decided on a fetish for me or something.
Maybe others can react if they have similar issues…
Weird
No issues here with Sync, links are going where they should go.
Cheers for the data point
You should probably talk to the Connect dev about this, this is definitely unwanted behavior…
Will drop them a line later. Cannot think of any reason that should cause this…
