Roms played through mobile?

Chahine Bond · Jan 31, 2013

Have you played any Nes Game through mobile before? If yes, what are they?
I've played:
Super Mario bros 3 and Adventure Island III

I'm still new to mobiles and apps, didn't know you could get a emulator for them though.

I get my Roms from www.emuparidise.me

Yup, the rare times that I actually use my smart phone for gaming are when I'm running emulators. I find them perfect for long trips as I don't really like any other mobile gaming apps. A while ago I had an eight hour plane trip with a four hour layover, followed by another two hour plane ride. In preparation, I installed a SNES emulator and a bunch of ROMs for games I hadn't played yet. It was a good way to kill time but I wish I had some sort of controller extension, as using the touch screen buttons to play platformers is a nightmare for me.

I've played Chrono Trigger on a SNES emulator on my phone before. It was pretty good, but I might be biased because I love Akira Toriyama's works in general. Speaking of Akira Toriyama, I've also played a bunch of Dragon Ball games on the SNES emulator, like the Super Boutoden series and Hyper Dimensions. I thought those were alright, I'm a huge fan of Dragon Ball, but Chrono Trigger was definitely the better game.

I haven't played yet the Nes roms through a mobile. That is too hard for me! I advise using PC-to-Phone Guides for PSX ROMs, the process on a phone can be tedious and files are much larger.

I have mobile emulators. The touch controls are so damn uncomfortable and it's hard to get them right. I used to play them on my old phone using a Wiimote as a controller, though, and that wasn't all that bad: I managed to play through the first four Battle Network games on this setup. Anything up to the GBA runs pretty smoothly on recent devices (I mean, they can even handle PSX emulators with ease).
RPGs are way more bearable to play, there. I played a bit of Fire Emblem and Golden Sun on mobile, and I didn't feel limited at all. I tried to play Chrono Trigger, too, but I switched to PC soon to enjoy it to the fullest.

I have been playing Nintendo games on my mobile phone through roms. I mostly play the soccer on my mobile phone and I use to play it through the bluetooth controller. It is fun to play roms on the mobile phone.

GBA emulators work amazingly on my phone. It can get a bit fussy if you have an iPhone, but the controls have always been really easy to work in my experience. When I want to relive my old Pokemon days, I just throw a rom on my phone and play it casually on the bus. Much preferable to digging around in the closet for my old Gameboy.

Oh damn had no idea that was actually possible! I have an Iphone 4s can I do it too? How exactly do is set it up?

I have never had an emulator on my phone to be able to play roms but one of my friends has an emulator and it's actually pretty cool how you can play pretty much any old game on your phone.

It can be a little hard depending on how you want to do it (with or without jailbreak). My phone isn't jailbroken but I have GBA4iOS, and it runs perfectly.

I've heard you can play the old GameBoy Pokemon games on Android. Might have to break out my old Moto G to see if I can get it to play on. It'd be nice to play them again for nostalgia's sakes. Anyone have any emulators app suggestions for iOS or Android?

Oh yeah, mine isn't either. I just hate how Apple makes it confusing to do everything on their OS. Damn even the simplest of tasks like downloading a game becomes something extremely complicated. The charger and parts have to be different every single version too. It's a good phone but theese little thing makes me furious.

I used to have an Android phone where I had an emulator that worked great, but now that I have a non-jailbroken iPhone I can't get anything to work, not even GBA4iOs with all the wacky time and calendar changes you have to do. I gave up on mobile ROMs so now I just use the emulator Open Emu for my laptop, with no problems so far.

I have only played Pokemon Firered and Tekken 6 on my mobile phone and it was 2015 when I tried them on my phone. I played Pokemon much longer than I did playing Tekken 6 since I lose track of time when playing Pokemon games and tend to stop only when I am to be called to eat dinner. I only played Tekken 6 for a week and got tired of it since it is somehow lagging at times and there are no one else to play with, so I deleted it to free some memory. I'm looking forward to playing again the Crash Bandicoot series on my phone if given the chance.

Recently, I lent one of my consoles (Game boy) to my boyfriend. During my spare time i start to get bored and i decide to download one of this emulator apps and roms in my phone. I had a lot of fun playing some titles that I could not play before.
