Seconded. I'm not having any problems, and the mapping works great.

I use the other emulators on the market from that dev as well. They are kind of spendy but they work great and he gives great support.

are the mapping of the controller easy and simple to use?

Very easy. You simply go into the key mapping setting in the emulator and push each button on your controller that corresponds to the buttons in the emulator. Takes a minute or so and you only have to do it once.

Some buttons might not work in all emulators though especially the two trigger buttons and the right analog stick. But some emulators work with all the buttons.

SuperGNES worked well enough for me to pay 4$ for the full version

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I guess the ROMs I have are old or something. All of them did not work so well. Most did not load the games it would just crash. With snes9x ex+ I was able to boot one game. I finally paid for Animaonline SNES Emulator and all of the ROMs loaded. A couple were a bit glitchy, but that is better that not loading at all. Mapping the controller on the shield worked great. If anyone has a problem loading ROMs give this a try.

Snes9x through Retroarch works very well.

Retroarch is an obvious must for any Shield anyway, and it's free.

I had never heard of that before and it's exactly what I was looking for, basically OpenEmu for Android. Thanks!

Your welcome. Be prepared for any given update to make it work wonky for a few days to 2 weeks, that's just my experience when using it with the Xperia Play. The team behind Retroarch is obviously very talented but may overextend a little bit sometimes I feel.
