Batman Posted 13 April, 2015 Share Posted 13 April, 2015 Just seen this on the gadget show Basically, a cheap andriod tablet used for retro gaming. Anyone else used this/emulator gaming on andriod If so, what are your thoughts and what is the gaming library like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 4 May, 2015 Author Share Posted 4 May, 2015 anyone? anyone use an android tablet as an emulator for retro gaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 4 May, 2015 Share Posted 4 May, 2015 Yes, I do. My tablets can emulate pretty much anything up to and including a PSX. Get an OTG cable and a PS3 controller and you should be golden. Range of games? Anything that was ever released for things your device can emulate. You don't need to buy a specific piece of hardware. You can download emulators for individual consoles.

Fancy playing a few old C64, loads of amiga and some SNES type games... cheers If you've already got an Android tablet, one of those OTG (on the go) cables and a PS3 pad, you really are good to go, and that would be my recommendation. I've seen purpose-built tablets such as the one that Jonnyboy linked and I'm never really tempted. I'd sooner take Sony's R&D on the PS3 pad than whatever some hybrid manufacturer is aiming for. Works very well for SNES stuff. For older stuff, you can get things like USB Competition Pro joysticks. That would sort you for the vast majority of Amiga and C64 games, and especially Sensible Soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
