Default console emulation

why is the android lacking so much on emulation? wm had numerous full functional emulators for it, only free snes emulator i can find, you can not load saved states, and doesnt save the battery. real pointless for zelda

anyone know of more free emulators not listed in the market?

They're not free for a reason. People put a lot of time and effort into their emulators sometimes, so it's a pay off when they get a small monetary support from their buyers. Just buy them, don't be cheap.

the paid versions allow you to save states etc. I have seen many emulators such as

SNES
NES
GAMEBOY ADVANCE
SEGA GENESIS

im sure there might be some for older systems as well, what are you complaining about?

The -Oid emulators are great, work fine and allow save states. Worth the money Eg:

Nesoid, Snesoid, Gameboid etc etc.

free ones with every feature imaginable don't exist. if you really can't afford $3.50, which is about the price of a meal, i'm very sorry for you.

what i would like to see is a psx emulator...
maybe not for the qualcomm 7200 cpus... but on the snapdragon and the cortex, those two should be able to handle emulation just fine

exactly, price of a meal. going from 1000+ to 350 a week kinda makes you change your spending style. i dont want every feature, it says save states, ill settle with no sound and stuff... but this thread should just be deleted. no ones paying attention to what it says
