Thanks to the endless gifts that Moore’s Law continues to bestow upon us, cramming many of your favorite retro gaming systems into a phone that’s not much bigger than half a pack of playing cards has never been easier than it is today. Many of the most popular consoles from our past like NES, Sega Genesis, and Playstation One can all be enjoyed from wherever you are in the world thanks to mobile emulators, but getting started with emulation on Android is easier said than done.

由于摩尔定律继续为我们提供了无尽的礼物，因此，将您喜爱的许多复古游戏系统塞入一部比半张纸牌还大的手机中，比以往任何时候都容易。 得益于移动仿真器，无论您身在何处，都可以从世界上任何地方尽情享受NES，Sega Genesis和Playstation One等我们过去最流行的游戏机，但是说起Android来进行仿真比说起来容易做起来难。

A note to readers of this article: all emulators and games were tested on a 2013 Nexus 7, which includes a 1.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with 2 GB of available RAM. More current tablets and phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 contain considerably more powerful graphics and processing chips, which means that although there was a ceiling on what we could achieve here (for example, the Nexus maxed out when we jumped from PSX to PS2), the more current your device, the more emulators you’ll be able to run on it.

本文读者注意事项：所有仿真器和游戏均在2013 Nexus 7上进行了测试，其中包括1.5 GHz四核Snapdragon S4 Pro处理器和2 GB的可用RAM。 当前更多的平板电脑和手机(如三星Galaxy Note 5)都包含功能更强大的图形和处理芯片，这意味着尽管我们可以在此达到最大目标(例如，当我们从PSX跳到PS2时，Nexus达到了极限) ，您的设备越新，则可以在其上运行的模拟器越多。

With that disclaimer out of the way, it’s time to jump into some of our favorite ways to enjoy the gaming greats of yore on Android-enabled phones and tablets.

有了这个免责声明，就该跳入我们最喜欢的一些方式，以便在支持Android的手机和平板电脑上享受昔日的游戏乐趣。

选择您的模拟器 (Choose Your Emulator)

我的孩子！ 游戏男孩高级模拟器 (MyBoy! Game Boy Advance Emulator)

If we’re going portable, might as well start with a system that’s made to let you mash buttons from the seat of your plane or the backseat of the family van. Personally, I have hundreds of fond memories of the time I spent with my trusty Game Boy Advance SP, popping it out in class, at home, or when I was waiting to get my very first drivers license at the DMV.

如果我们要携带便携式设备，不妨从一个可以让您从飞机座位或家庭厢式货车后座捣碎按钮的系统开始。 就我个人而言，我对自己值得信赖的Game Boy Advance SP所度过的时光有数百次美好的回忆，在课堂上，在家中或在等待获得DMV的第一个驾驶执照时就将其弹出。

Now all those moments can be relived in their pixelated glory thanks to the MyBoy! Game Boy Advance emulator. Found on the Google Play store in Lite and paid versions ($4.99 to remove ads and save-state restrictions), the My Boy! emulator works with almost every title released in the GBA lineup, regardless of region restrictions or controller setups.

现在，借助MyBoy，所有这些时刻都可以在像素化的荣耀中重现！ Game Boy Advance模拟器。 我的男孩(My Boy)在Google Play商店中以精简版和付费版本(删除广告和保存状态限制为4.99美元)出现。 无论区域限制或控制器设置如何，模拟器都可以与GBA阵容中发行的几乎所有标题一起使用。

Users of the emulators may notice that some ROMs could have more trouble running smoothly than others (popular games like Golden Sun are notoriously finicky when it comes to emulator compatibility), however getting the game you want to work on your preferred platform is simply a matter of trial and error.

仿真器的用户可能会注意到，某些ROM可能比其他ROM平稳运行有更多麻烦(众所周知，像Golden Sun这样的流行游戏在仿真器兼容性方面有些挑剔)，但是，要在您喜欢的平台上运行您想要运行的游戏只是一个问题反复试验。

剧烈DS (Drastic DS)

Though it’s already obvious from the outset, DS games are pretty much a match made in heaven for Android devices thanks to the touchscreen compatibility of many of its most immersive titles. The Drastic DS emulator takes advantage of this by giving DS lovers all the same features they’ve come to love on their Nintendo handheld, and ramping things up to 11 with post-processing graphics that can significantly improve on the textures and models that made DS games the classics they are.

尽管从一开始就已经很明显，但是DS游戏几乎可以与Android设备相提并论，这要归功于其许多最引人入胜的游戏的触摸屏兼容性。 Drastic DS模拟器通过为DS爱好者提供他们在Nintendo掌上电脑上喜欢的所有相同功能，并通过可以显着改善制作DS的纹理和模型的后处理图形将功能提升到11来利用这一优势。游戏经典。

But, even though they’re perfect for one another, it’s recommended you only run DS games on a device with a screen size of 5.5″ or larger, as the dual-screen setup can prove a bit too cramped for phones to handle all on their own.

但是，尽管它们非常适合彼此，但还是建议您仅在屏幕尺寸为5.5英寸或更大的设备上运行DS游戏，因为双屏设置可能会显得过于拥挤，以至于手机无法处理所有内容。他们自己的。

Drastic is far better suited to tablets, where both the power of the device and the added screen real estate can add up to an experience that at times can even surpass what you’d normally get from playing a game on a DS itself. That said, if you’re serious about mobile gaming and emulators, it’s recommended to invest in a game controller holster like the GameKlip, which can free up valuable screen space and give you a better overall view of what’s happening on the battlefield at any given time.

Drastic更加适合平板电脑，在平板电脑上，设备的功能和增加的屏幕空间都可以带来有时甚至超过通常在DS本身上玩游戏所获得的体验的体验。 就是说，如果您对移动游戏和模拟器很认真，建议您购买GameKlip之类的游戏控制器皮套 ，这样可以释放宝贵的屏幕空间，并让您更好地了解战场上任何情况下的情况。时间。

The Drastic DS emulator can be found on the Google Play store as both a free release (limited gaming time, no saves, with ads), or for $5.99 flat with all features included and no limit on the amount of time you can play each game.

Drastic DS模拟器可在Google Play商店中找到，既可以免费发布(游戏时间有限，没有保存，带有广告)，价格为$ 5.99(包括所有功能 )，而且每款游戏的播放时间没有限制。

海豚 (Dolphin)

Yes, the wildly popular Gamecube/Wii emulator has gone mobile, and it’s better than ever before.

是的，广受欢迎的Gamecube / Wii模拟器已实现移动化，并且比以往任何时候都更好。

Helmed by a feverishly passionate group of gamers who can’t let some of their favorite Nintendo games fall by the wayside every time they leave their console, Dolphin is an emulator that will allow you to run any Gamecube or Wii titles on your tablet or phone with ease.

在一群热情奔放的游戏玩家的带领下，每次离开主机时都不能让某些自己喜欢的任天堂游戏掉到一边，Dolphin是一款模拟器，可让您在平板电脑或手机上运行任何Gamecube或Wii游戏轻松。

Better yet, like its desktop counterpart Dolphin also allows for netplay between up to four people at a time, meaning you can bust out your controller for a little multiplayer Smash Bros mayhem even while you’re winding down from that big conference on the road. Admittedly, Gamecube graphics and the frenetic pace of Super Smash Brothers Melee was a bit too much for the Nexus to handle all on its own, but video tests have shown that Nvidia’s game-centric Shield tablet with a Tegra K1 graphics chip was more than capable of handling the job without stuttering or slipping along the way.

更好的是，像其台式机对讲机Dolphin一样，一次最多可以在四个人之间进行网络游戏，这意味着即使您正在旅途中的大型会议结束时，也可以破坏控制器以应对多人Smash Bros混乱。 诚然，Gamecube图形和Super Smash Brothers Melee的狂热步伐对于Nexus来说并不能完全解决，但视频测试表明Nvidia的以游戏为中心的Shield平板电脑配备了Tegra K1图形芯片，功能强大得多。在处理过程中不会结巴或滑倒。

经典男孩 ( ClassicBoy)

For the rest of your favorite childhood titles out there, we have ClassicBoy.

对于您最喜欢的其他童年游戏，我们有ClassicBoy。

ClassicBoy digs up the graves of some of the most iconic gaming systems from the past and mashes them together in one all-you-can-eat buffet of retro gaming goodness. ClassicBoy is equipped to the nines with emulators for Playstation One, GameBoy Color, NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, Nintendo 64, and even the SNK NeoGeo for any fighting game fans out there.

ClassicBoy挖掘了过去一些最具标志性的游戏系统的坟墓，并将它们融合在一起，组成了一顿无限量供应的复古游戏美食自助餐。 ClassicBoy配备了适用于Playstation One，GameBoy Color，NES，Sega Genesis，SNES，Nintendo 64甚至SNK NeoGeo的模拟器，可用于任何格斗游戏迷。

The only reason we wouldn’t recommend ClassicBoy as a blanket solution for all games is there have been reports of compatibility issues among some of the more frequently requested roms, specifically Mario 64 and certain titles for Super Nintendo. This in mind, it’s still great as a one-stop shop solution for some of our favorite systems, and works with both NTSC and PAL-formatted games.

我们不建议将ClassicBoy用作所有游戏的整体解决方案的唯一原因是，有报道称某些更常见的rom中存在兼容性问题，特别是Mario 64和Super Nintendo的某些游戏。 考虑到这一点，它仍然是我们某些喜欢的系统的一站式解决方案，并且可以与NTSC和PAL格式的游戏一起使用。

ClassicBoy is free to own from the Google Play store today.

今天，可以从Google Play商店免费拥有ClassicBoy。

下载游戏 (Downloading Games)

Okay, now that you’ve found the emulator you want and installed it on the device of your choosing, it’s time to load up on some games.

好的，既然您已经找到了所需的模拟器并将其安装在所选的设备上，那么现在该加载一些游戏了。

In order to skirt copyright claims that could threaten their status on the Google Play store, most of the emulators you find here won’t come with a built-in way of downloading games from within the client itself. Instead, in order to build up your library you’ll need to visit a third-party provider, hubs like CoolRoms, DopeRoms, or RomHustler.

为了避开可能威胁其在Google Play商店中地位的版权声明，您在此处找到的大多数模拟器都没有内置的从客户端内部下载游戏的方式。 相反，为了构建您的库，您需要访问第三方提供商，如CoolRoms ， DopeRoms或RomHustler之类的中心 。

You can do this either by visiting the site from your desktop and loading the roms into a shared Google Drive folder than can be accessed by both platforms later, or you can simply visit the site from the device itself and point your emulator to the mobile browser’s download folder to find the games you want to play. Both methods will yield the same result, and how you go about getting your games boils down to a matter of preference.

您可以通过以下方式进行操作：从台式机访问该网站，然后将roms加载到共享的Google Drive文件夹中，以后两个平台都可以访问该rom，或者您可以仅从设备本身访问该网站，然后将模拟器指向移动浏览器的下载文件夹以找到您要玩的游戏。 两种方法都会产生相同的结果，并且如何使游戏归结为偏好问题。

Lastly, it bears mentioning that hundreds of some of the best retro games out there have been remastered as a part of the Google Play gaming lineup. Titles like Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy, and Crazy Taxi have all seen their fair share of reboots and rehashes, optimized specifically for touch surfaces to give them the ultimate in responsiveness and fluidity of motion while you play.

最后，值得一提的是，作为Google Play游戏阵容的一部分，已经对数百种最好的复古游戏进行了重新制作。 侠盗猎车手 ( Grand Theft Auto) ， 最终幻想 ( Final Fantasy )和疯狂的出租车 ( Crazy Taxi)之类的产品都看到了相当一部分的重新引导和重新整理，它们专门针对触摸表面进行了优化，从而使它们在玩耍时具有极高的响应速度和流畅的动作。

While plenty of purists out there could argue that the current gen of consoles is the golden age of gaming, there’s just as many old codgers on the other side of the argument that think what we got in the 90’s and early aughts can’t be beat.

尽管许多纯粹主义者可能会争辩说，当前的游戏机时代是游戏的黄金时代，但争论的另一面却是许多老编码，认为我们在90年代和早期风风雨雨中无法击败。

The beauty of mobile emulators like these, of course, is you’re only limited to what you can play by the amount of spare storage left on your flash card and the power of the device in your pocket. Want to play Sonic and Mario side by side? No problem. Prefer to get a few matches of Smash in before that next important meeting? Dolphin’s got you covered. Mobile emulators are the enemy of boredom, and give you the chance to finally score that 100% playthrough for the Ocarina of Time even if you’re miles away from your Nintendo 64 at home.

当然，此类移动仿真器的魅力在于，您只能通过闪存卡上剩余的备用存储容量以及设备在口袋中的电量来发挥作用。 想要同时玩Sonic和Mario吗？ 没问题。 愿意在下一次重要会议之前参加Smash的一些比赛？ 海豚帮你遮住了。 移动模拟器是无聊的敌人，即使您离家中的Nintendo 64数英里，也可以让您有机会最终获得《时​​之笛》的100％穿越游戏。
