I stumbled across SuperGNes about two weeks ago, wondering what I would do to utilize the thousands of Super Nintendo Roms that have been hanging out on my hard drive. I had to try this on multiple phones to make sure my theory was true, so I have utilized this on the HTC One X, Sony Xperia Play (the control makes emulating that much better), and the Samsung Galaxy Note.
First of all, I could never think of a reason to purchase an Xperia Play, until I used SuperGNES. The gaming controls meant for the Playstation Classic titles available for the phone, make the emulator perform better than anything I could have imagined. If the XPeria play were a much more powerful phone, I would carry it everywhere knowing that I could break out a game of Super Mario World anytime, anyplace.
The features of SuperGNES that are most impressive is the ability to download roms through the app itself. If you don’t have access to anything you simply search through the menu, download the file, and it is imported instantly into the emulator. If you have pre-existing ROMs on your SD card or in the phone memory it will detect them and give you the option to download the boxart for your files. Every game I tested ran beautifully.
From Turtles In Time to Final Fantasy 3 (6 if you’re a purist), I was murdering my battery life while reliving my child hood gaming habits in no time. This is the only emulator available for SNES on the play store, and I highly recommend you snag it. You can purchase it in the lite or free format or pay a scant $3.99 and show the developers some love. Which games are you planning on reliving?
