8- and 16-bit era: NES, SNES, SEGA Master System, SEGA Genesis
To begin, it’s worth noting that the least demanding generation among the 8-bit consoles was initially launched. The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and SEGA Master System were particularly fond of 2D graphics, making them relatively simple to emulate on most contemporary smartphones. In fact, some Symbian phones are even capable of emulating these consoles.
Personally, I’m thrilled about the Nostalgia.NES emulator! This fantastic tool runs smoothly on an Android 5.0 device or higher. For an even smoother experience, it supports OpenGL ES, which takes advantage of your device’s hardware to deliver graphics that are accelerated and visually stunning.
The MasterGear emulator is one of the top choices for Master System emulation, and creator Marat Fayzullin previously told Android Authority that it has no specific minimum requirements. In fact, Fayzullin said you only need Android 2.3 and a 640 x 480 display. But recent versions now require Android 4.1 or higher. In other words, you can certainly get away with a single-core Cortex-A7 processor and 512MB RAM if you’ve got an old entry-level device or even an Android Go handset.
As 16-bit systems such as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and SEGA Genesis emerged, console graphics were predominantly two-dimensional. However, these systems took it a step further by offering more color options, Mode 7’s pseudo-3D effects, and faster gameplay. Furthermore, these platforms introduced the first true 3D games featuring polygonal graphics, with titles like Star Fox leading the way in this new dimension of gaming.
Among the top-tier emulators for today’s console generation is Snes9X EX+, specifically designed for the SNES platform. The developer suggests using a single-core device with a processing speed of 1Ghz or more for optimal performance, although earlier versions are also available for less powerful devices. Given that most current Android devices come equipped with at least a 1Ghz processor, it’s unlikely you’ll have any difficulties playing SNES games on your device.
Switching gears to the SEGA Genesis (also known as the Sega Mega Drive for non-U.S. users, often abbreviated as MD), one of the top Android emulators for this console is MD.emu. This emulator has been successfully tested on older phones such as Motorola Droid, Xperia Play, and Galaxy S2. The 2009-launch Droid came with just 256MB of RAM and a single-core Cortex-A8 chipset. Given that most modern Android phones surpass these specifications, you should be all set. If you’re using an older device, consider Pizza Boy SC Pro. Although it’s still in beta, it was specifically designed for underpowered processors to deliver a smooth gaming experience.
Portables go mainstream: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance
The original Game Boy, perhaps, paved the way for the first major success in portable consoles among mainstream audiences. Despite offering only monochrome images when competitors provided color visuals, it had a notable advantage of not draining batteries as fast as its competitors. Following this, Nintendo introduced the Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Advance, with the latter boasting similar power to the SNES.
Just like the last group, it’s possible to mimic Game Boy consoles on a wide range of Android devices. Among the top Game Boy emulators for Android are John GBC and My NewBoy, although their developers do not specify hardware requirements. However, the My NewBoy app description suggests that even low-end devices can achieve 60fps, which could be promising news for those who own entry-level smartphones.
In contrast, the creator of John GBA advocates for a 1Ghz dual-core processor and 1GB of memory, whereas the developer of the My Boy GBA emulator does not specify any particular system requirements.
If your phone boasts a minimum of 1GB RAM, it surpasses the necessary hardware standards for emulating Game Boy and GBA. Older devices should still run these games smoothly.
The 3D era: N64, PSX, Saturn
In the late 1990s, the console gaming industry heavily invested in hardware designed for three-dimensional graphics. Consequently, these early Android phones will be put under significant strain by this generation of games, such as the Sony PlayStation (PSX), Nintendo 64 (N64), and SEGA Saturn.
As a dedicated fan, I’d like to share some insights about running the paid ePSXe Sony PlayStation emulator on an Android device. For a basic experience, they recommend a single-core chipset clocking at 1Ghz and 256MB of RAM. However, if you’re aiming for a smoother gaming experience, consider a dual-core 1.2Ghz chipset with good OpenGL support and 512MB of RAM. If you still have an old budget phone or an Android Go device, it might just do the trick! The team also advises Android 2.3 as a minimum requirement, but for optimal performance, they suggest Android 7.0 or higher.
Looking for a cost-effective emulator solution? The free FPSe PSX emulator performs well on the Xiaomi Mi Box — an affordable Android TV box boasting a quad-core Cortex-A53 chipset and 2GB of RAM. For smooth gameplay and some room to customize settings, consider a device with similar or superior specifications.
There are relatively few Nintendo 64 emulators for Android, but M64Plus FZ is arguably the top pick. The emulator uses the Mupen64 backbone, much like several other N64 emulators on the Play Store. Mupen64Plus FZ developer Francisco Zurita told Android Authority a few years back that you’ll need Android 4.4 to download it, but what about actually running games?
To ensure smooth operation, I’d suggest at least 1GB of RAM and processing power equivalent to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 for the GPU/CPU. Some games, such as Conker’s Bad Fur Day, may demand a more powerful CPU due to slower TLB emulation, according to Zurita.
This way, the information is presented in an easy-to-understand manner, explaining the minimum requirements for smooth performance and mentioning that specific games might need a faster CPU due to certain technical aspects.
PSX and N64 emulation have modest requirements, but Saturn emulation is another story.
It’s quite smooth, really: Emulating N64 games on a device equipped with a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor and 2GB of RAM is generally enjoyable for numerous titles. I managed to play classics such as Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, and Mario Kart 64 at enhanced resolutions without much slowdown. As Zurita mentioned, however, more power is needed to run games like Conker’s Bad Fur Day at a decent frame rate.
The SEGA Saturn console, like others from its generation, can also be a bit tricky to emulate due to its unique hardware design. In fact, SEGA employed two CPUs in the Saturn, which could be considered an early prototype of the multi-core CPUs that would come later. One popular emulator for Android that tackles this challenge is Yaba Sanshiro 2, a version derived from the desktop emulator called Yabause.
The creators of Yaba Sanshiro 2 reveal that their focus was mainly on the NVIDIA Shield TV (the 2015 edition) and the Snapdragon 855 processor. However, they specify that a device with an Amlogic S922X chipset is the least it should have. This particular chipset found in certain TV boxes boasts a hexacore CPU (four Cortex-A73, two Cortex-A53) and a Mali-G52 MP4 GPU. Modern mid-range processors are expected to offer superior GPUs and enhanced single-core CPU performance. However, ensure your device runs on Android 7.0 or a later version for the emulator to function properly.
On the LG V60 (equipped with a Snapdragon 865 processor), we tested the Saturn emulator while playing SEGA Rally Championship, Nights, Panzer Dragoon, Sonic 3D Blast, and Sonic R. All of these games ran smoothly on this 2020 flagship device, with only minor glitches in the initial title that didn’t affect gameplay or performance. However, what would happen if we were to use a Snapdragon 660 device instead? Luckily, our vivo V11 Pro handled all of these games without any issues, demonstrating that even phones with Snapdragon 600-series processors can run Saturn titles.
Noticeable decreases in performance become evident when we move down to the Redmi 5, which is powered by Snapdragon 450. SEGA Rally Championship turns into a sluggish game, while Panzer Dragoon still maintains playability, but with worse performance. The remaining games run smoothly without issues.
When it comes to playing classic PSX and Saturn games, which use CD-based storage, it’s crucial to have sufficient storage space on your phone. Aim for a device with a minimum of 16GB storage if you wish to enjoy multiple PlayStation and Saturn titles. Alternatively, you can opt for an 8GB internal storage model and keep your ROMs on a microSD card instead. However, keep in mind that Nintendo 64 games max out at 64MB, so you’ll need less storage space for those games compared to the others.
Portable evolved: Nintendo DS and Sony PSP
Over the last ten years, there’s been a significant surge of interest in emulators for the Nintendo DS (NDS) and Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) on Android devices. Despite the Nintendo DS being less potent compared to Sony’s handheld console, both platforms boast an impressive library of must-play games.
For optimum performance, the preferred DS emulator is DraStic. The developer provides detailed system specifications on their forum, such as requiring an Arm v7a processor or superior (excluding ancient Cortex-A5 CPU cores), 256MB of RAM or more, a display resolution of at least 480 x 320 pixels, and Android 2.3 as the minimum version. The team advises using a quad-core CPU for running games that exceed their native resolution. Consistent with its reputation, DraStic functions smoothly on budget devices equipped with a quad-core processor, with games like Mario Kart DS and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time performing well even with high-resolution rendering enabled.
Regrettably, the creator of DraStic removed the emulator from the Google Play Store at the start of 2025. However, it’s still possible to download it elsewhere online. If you’re looking for an alternative, MelonDS for Android is worth considering. Keep in mind that this application runs only on 64-bit devices, as the developer has stated that performance on 32-bit devices is quite poor, especially for older phones like those from a decade ago or devices similar to the Shield TV Tube.
PPSSPP is a widely-used Android emulator that doesn’t appear to have strict hardware requirements. While an older guide on their official website recommends the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Samsung Galaxy S series, its founder Henrik Rydgard suggests that most recent smartphones should be capable of running the emulator.
On the GitHub page for the project, Rydgard pointed out that today’s minimal hardware requirements are so tiny they’re hardly worth mentioning. Essentially, any device available now could potentially run PPSSPP to some extent, although heavier games may run slower due to their resource-intensive nature.
God of War: Chains of Olympus is among the PSP games that require significant technical prowess to emulate. However, our tests indicate it operates smoothly and playably on the vivo V11 Pro, which has a Snapdragon 660 processor, at a double resolution. It was also generally playable on the Xiaomi Redmi 5 with a Snapdragon 450 chipset, running at the original PSP resolution.
Games such as God of War: Chains of Olympus and Wipeout Pure may struggle to run smoothly on lower-end smartphones (devices with quad-core Cortex-A53 processors or less) unless significant adjustments like reducing resolution and making other tweaks are made. Conversely, less demanding games generally maintain a relatively smooth performance once you tinker with the basic settings.
On both PPSSPP and DraStic, you’ll find frame skipping, a useful adjustment. This feature can significantly enhance playability, particularly for devices with less powerful hardware that are borderline smooth in their performance.
Similar to the difference between games for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, the games for Nintendo DS typically have less capacity compared to those for the PSP. If you intend to play multiple PSP games, it’s essential to have ample internal storage or a microSD card slot available.
Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita: Handheld horsepower boost
Originally, our top pick for the best Nintendo 3DS emulator was Citra. Unfortunately, it’s no longer operational due to a legal action taken by Nintendo. Yet, you can still utilize the emulator by using its Libretro core, which is compatible with multi-platform emulators like RetroArch. Newer alternatives such as Lime3DS are available, but many of these are derived from Citra. A new fork is in development that promises improvements, but for now, let’s concentrate on the Citra Libretro core.
Regarding performance, the team earlier suggested a device with a Snapdragon 835 processor or more advanced, running Android Oreo or a later version, and supporting OpenGL ES 3.2. Notably, the developer had mentioned that Exynos chipsets are not compatible, and several users have reported issues with MediaTek-powered phones such as the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
In practical usage, C. Scott Brown personally tested Citra on a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Results showed that games like Super Mario 3D Land and Captain Toad ranged from being barely playable to unplayable altogether. On the positive side, Yoshi’s Woolly World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds managed playable speeds. Previously, I tested this emulator on a device with a Snapdragon 660 processor, where Pokemon X ran at borderline-playable speeds (with frame rates fluctuating between the teens and twenties). Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn was marred by numerous major frame drops and stuttering instances, making it less enjoyable. Super Mario 3D Land ran slowly (but not as a slideshow), with plenty of stutters too. Animal Crossing ran faster than both Kirby and Mario, but still had occasional stutters every few seconds. Fortunately, the nature of Animal Crossing means that these stutters don’t significantly impact the overall experience.
To put it simply, the latest high-end devices (flagships) should provide a seamless performance, whereas more contemporary mid-range models should manage acceptable speeds for gameplay. However, older phones may struggle with running this emulator.
2023 brought about quite a surprise when Vita3K, a PlayStation Vita emulator for Android, made its debut. Unlike typical Play Store offerings, this software must be obtained from GitHub instead.
According to their discussion on the Vita3K Discord channel, the device with the lowest tested State of Charge (SoC) is a Unisoc T618, which comes with 3GB of RAM and a Mali G52 MP2 GPU. This chipset appears capable of running multiple games smoothly at a constant frame rate. Notably, several older budget smartphones such as the Moto G 2023 and Galaxy A14, or even older flagships and mid-range models, would likely meet or surpass these specifications without difficulty.
3D games for Nintendo 3DS range from a few hundred megabytes to around 3 gigabytes, while PlayStation Vita games can reach up to 4 gigabytes in size. If your device has 16GB or 32GB of memory, you’ll find it quite snug fitting all those games.
The cult classic: SEGA Dreamcast
On SEGA’s last console, a variety of fantastic and diverse games were available, including Crazy Taxi, the Shenmue series, and Jet Set Radio. You can relive these classics using the free Flycast emulator.
The emulator needs Android version 5.0 or later, 512MB of memory, and a graphics processor that can handle OpenGL ES 3.1. These specifications are quite flexible. Nevertheless, since Sega’s console utilized GD-ROM discs (with some games being around 1GB in size), ample storage space is also essential for this application.
Another option you might consider is the Redream emulator. Originally, it demanded a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor, either a Mali-400 or an unnamed Adreno GPU, and at least 512MB of RAM. However, the developer also provides a premium version with additional features such as extra save slots and enhanced graphics resolution. It’s worth mentioning that Flycast offers some of these features for free, like increased resolution.
Despite initial doubts, I successfully ran games such as Daytona USA, MDK 2, and Metropolis Street Racer smoothly on my aged Xiaomi Mi TV box (equipped with a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor). In essence, most budget phones from the past five years should manage these emulators effortlessly.
Diving deep into 3D: Nintendo GameCube and Wii
We’ve moved on to using more complex emulators for Android devices now. One such example is the Dolphin emulator, which allows you to play GameCube and Wii games on your smartphone. It has advanced significantly since it was first released in 2013.
To ensure smooth performance when using the emulator, your system should meet certain key specifications:
1. A 64-bit processor is necessary to run it efficiently.
2. It also requires the Android Lollipop operating system.
3. However, these are just the minimum requirements. Other factors may impact its performance, so having a powerful machine would be beneficial.
Initially, when we released this article back in 2019, tech enthusiast Adam Sinicki — known for his passion for emulation — pointed out that the Snapdragon 835 might not be powerful enough to handle the most challenging GameCube games. Instead, he recommended considering the Snapdragon 855 for a smooth gaming experience in complex titles. He mentioned that the Xiaomi Mi 9 was the first mobile device capable of consistently running games like Metroid Prime smoothly. Moreover, he noted that phones with Snapdragon 845 could also deliver decent performance in many games.
GameCube and Wii emulation is pretty mature on smartphones, but you’ll still want a recent high-end phone for advanced titles.
On the LG V60 powered by Snapdragon 865, we tested Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and WWE: Day of Reckoning 2. These games mostly ran smoothly, though there were occasional instances where the frame rate dipped slightly from its intended pace. If you’re interested in enjoying GameCube titles while on the move, a recent flagship phone within the last five years would be a good choice to consider.
If your device features an octa-core Cortex-A53 chipset like the Snapdragon 625, Snapdragon 450, Helio P22, or Kirin 659, you shouldn’t anticipate playing games much, if at all. I tested Metroid Prime on a Redmi 5 (Snapdragon 450), and the frame rates dipped to the low teens and even single digits occasionally. Mario Kart: Double Dash fared slightly better, averaging around 20fps with occasional drops to 15fps, but it’s still a slow-paced experience.
It’s good news that mid-range and budget chipsets such as Snapdragon 7 series and Dimensity 7000/8000 series have made significant strides, offering enhanced graphics capabilities and more powerful CPU cores. Therefore, these chips should handle tasks quite efficiently. Phones equipped with even older chips like the Snapdragon 660, such as the vivo V11 Pro, can run some games, but it’s best to avoid graphically demanding titles like Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX for optimal performance.
Additionally, it’s important to mention that Qualcomm chipsets generally outperform other chipsets like Exynos, MediaTek, and Kirin in terms of speed. This is thought to be because Qualcomm offers superior driver support and more powerful GPUs. However, top-tier MediaTek and Exynos chips provide an excellent user experience as well. Interestingly, even the mid-range Samsung Galaxy A55, equipped with a mid-range AMD GPU, can handle many games quite smoothly.
An Emotion Engine in your phone: Sony PlayStation 2
As an onlooker, it’s fascinating to note that PS2 emulators took a while to grace Android devices. The reason behind this delay lies in the challenge of emulating Sony’s popular console. In contrast to Microsoft’s original Xbox, which leveraged readily available PC components, and Nintendo’s GameCube with its well-known hardware that was straightforward to program, the PS2 sported unique custom hardware. This exotic setup made game development a complex task, contributing to the tardiness of PS2 emulators on Android.
Quite unexpectedly, in December 2021, a solitary developer introduced AetherSX2 — an emulator derived from the PC-exclusive PCSX2. This innovative software enables high-end Android devices to run numerous PS2 games. However, the app was removed from the Play Store in 2024 and later reappeared with ads. If you find this change unfavorable, there’s still an option to use a variant known as NetherSX2 by sideloading it.
According to AetherSX2’s creator, it’s not advisable to attempt using the software unless you have a Snapdragon 845 or more advanced processor. Specifically, your device should have four powerful CPU cores based on the Cortex-A75 architecture or higher. Regarding the graphics, the developer suggests that Adreno GPUs provide superior performance compared to Mali or PowerVR GPUs typically found in MediaTek, HiSilicon, and Samsung Exynos processors. Additionally, it’s worth noting that the Adreno GPU is compatible with the Vulkan renderer.
Regardless of how potent your smartphone is, the gaming experience can still differ from one game to another. If you aim to play a wide range of games, it’s advisable to opt for the most powerful phone available at the moment, such as the latest flagship models like the Galaxy S24 series, OnePlus 12, or OnePlus 13. However, for less demanding games, a mid-range device launched within the last few years should suffice. For more specific details, it’s recommended to consult community compatibility lists.
Please keep in mind that an essential condition is having a 64-bit processor and a 64-bit version of Android. This excludes phones from 2014 or older, as well as devices such as the NVIDIA Shield tube model, which operates on a 32-bit version of Android.
Nintendo Switch: Good luck with this
The latest console that can be emulated on Android is currently the Nintendo Switch, but navigating this area has become tricky. Many emulators have ceased operations or faced issues due to legal concerns or actions taken by Nintendo, considering that the Switch remains available globally for purchase.
Nintendo has cracked down on Switch emulators for Android, but Yuzu was the most popular app.
Despite being the leading Switch emulator for Android before it was discontinued by its creators, Yuzu can still be found on various platforms for sideloading. However, it’s important to note that it is no longer being updated. When initially launched, the developers suggested a Snapdragon 460 or superior processor, an Adreno 605 or Mali-G57 GPU, at least 8GB of RAM, and Android 11 as minimum requirements. Although the minimum specifications remain the same with regards to Android 11 and 8GB of RAM, they now recommend a Snapdragon 865 chipset or more advanced hardware.
Regarding Yuzu’s compatibility list for the Switch library, it indicates some inconsistent support. Consequently, even if your phone qualifies based on all requirements, there’s a good possibility that the game you wish to play won’t function properly. Additionally, since the developers have ceased working on the project, there’s little hope for any updates or enhancements.
PlayStation 3: We hardly knew ye
Emulating PlayStation 3 games on Android has long been considered the ultimate challenge due to Sony’s unique console architecture, which even powerful PCs find difficult to replicate. Yet, an unexpected event took place in February 2025 when the aPS3e emulator mysteriously appeared.
This Chinese-developed emulator appears to be quite basic with limited features, lacking essentials such as settings menus and controller support. However, it managed to run some games decently well, particularly lighter titles like Rayman Origins and 3D Dot Game Heroes that ran smoothly most of the time. Conversely, many other games either failed to install or launch, which was expected given its early stage development. We tested these games on high-end devices such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra and REDMAGIC 10 Pro, and it’s likely you’ll need a flagship phone for optimal performance.
It seems the emulator under scrutiny appears to have borrowed free software from RPCS3 emulator for PC and Termux app. What makes this questionable is that the developer followed up by requesting a significant donation of $2,000 to reveal their source code. This act has raised eyebrows as it’s not common practice, and unfortunately, the project’s GitHub page and the account of its creator were swiftly taken down just days after its launch.
Emulators for Android guide: Final tips
With a budget quad-core smartphone or an Android Go device, you can mimic a wide range of systems, from Dreamcast to Nintendo DS. Some PlayStation Portable (PSP) games can run on affordable quad-core hardware, but the more demanding PSP titles necessitate powerful processors and mid-range or higher graphics processors for optimal performance.
At the opposite extreme, PS2 and Switch emulators tend to run smoothly on just the latest high-end smartphones. This means that users relying on mid-range or affordable devices for their gaming needs may find it frustrating when trying to play their retro games on the move.
Although the performance of your experience largely depends on your phone’s hardware, here are some speedy suggestions to assist you if you find yourself encountering issues while using Android emulators:
1. Ensure your device has enough RAM (at least 4GB) and a powerful CPU to run the emulator smoothly.
2. Update your Android SDK tools regularly to benefit from bug fixes and performance improvements.
3. Try different Android emulators to find one that best suits your needs, as not all emulators may perform equally on every device.
4. Adjust graphics settings within the emulator to optimize performance for your specific hardware configuration.
5. If possible, use a physical Android device instead of an emulator for better overall performance and user experience.
Several emulators provide multiple adjustments to optimize performance and fine-tune visuals. For instance, adjusting the screen resolution, enabling certain cheats, turning on frame-skipping, or switching between different graphic plugins or rendering tools can lead to significant enhancements in your gaming experience.
There are several workarounds and solutions if a desired game isn’t working on your device.
Keep in mind that the performance of emulators can differ from one game to another. If a specific game seems unplayable for you, don’t lose hope! Other titles may still work smoothly on the same emulator.
When selecting an emulator, remember that they each have unique priorities. Some emulators may prioritize speed over accuracy, leading to lower system requirements, while others might focus on accuracy but typically need more powerful hardware. It’s also beneficial to experiment with various emulators if there are several high-quality options available.
Additionally, keep in mind that certain games can be played across multiple platforms. If you’re having trouble playing a game on a PlayStation 2 emulator, consider trying a GameCube emulator instead, as long as the same game is compatible with the Nintendo console.
The tip you’ve read is useful when you have limited storage space, because often the GameCube and N64 adaptations were smaller than their PlayStation 2 and PlayStation versions. However, the N64 editions of PlayStation games frequently reduced cut-scenes and audio quality to fit onto a cartridge.
To sum up, if you’re thinking about getting a new phone, it’s often wise to choose one equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor if you intend to use emulators. This is because Snapdragon chipsets are backed by Adreno GPUs, which are the most powerful in the premium category and still quite capable in mid-range phones. Moreover, these GPUs generally provide good driver support, leading to fewer issues with emulators compared to processors with ARM’s Mali graphics. However, it’s important to note that drivers for the latest models might not be significantly superior to their predecessors, as they often improve over time.
