About SNESDroid

SNESDroid
=====
See NESDroid and GambatteDroid if you enjoy this app.

Does not require root.

Support true multi-touch. Can run, jump and move all at the same time. Requires Android devices that support multi-touch.

All other SNES emus on the market use SNES9x 1.4.3 which is significantly more efficient but sacrifices accuracy, audio quality and game compatibility.

SNES9x 1.52 port. This will not run well on older hardware. Works on all devices Android 2.X to Ice cream Sandwhich 4.X. This is based on SNES9xNext which is the PS3 adaptation of SNES9x. All its features will eventually appear in the Android port. Source links below. This does not run as well as SNES EX but it is using a more up to date SNES9x therefore better audio and higher compatibility.

I have a chinese Android phone with very limited hardware. I play without sound on my way to/from work and it runs pretty smooth. If I want sound, I need to increase frameskip, making things a little nasty, but otherwise, works fine. For most RPG's (Final Fantasy, Chronno Trigger, Breath of Fire and the like), you are good to go, but at least at my screen, the controller does not respond that smoothly.

U70%
by U####:

Used to be great on my galaxy s2 now I tried using it on my s4 and you can play any game once. Then when you go to play it again you get a black screen and it freezes have to force stop to restart still freezes when you go to play the game. Also tried to uninstall and reinstall same thing happens sorry uninstalled.

B70%
by B####:

When you run it for the first time, it asks you to copy the roms in a specific directory, you can change that directory in the settings, which you can access by holding the back button on your phone. Also fast forwarding doesn't seem to work as it should. And for some reason I can't resume a game after entering the setting menu!

E70%
by E####:

It use to work fine. Now it plays the games at half speed and the sound is terrible. If I hold the Fast Foreward button down it sounds normal but I cant play like that. Tried manipulating the settings. No luck. Tried uninstalling no luck. 8^p

A70%
by A####:

This app has worked just fine on my Infuse for the past four or so weeks that I've had it. No crashes or lag that I remember, buttons work well on my touchscreen, and the sound was fine when I had it on. I don't use cheats our fast-forward, though, so I can't rate them. I humbly beg the devs to make a gba emulator as well. One of the best free apps I've downloaded.

Z70%
by Z####:

I have a nexus 7 that's rooted with the latest stock JB ROM and when I first downloaded the app it worked great, but now it is just returning to the app's home screen when I load a ROM. So far I have tried restarting, clearing the cache, clearing the data, uninstalling, deleting the files on the SD card and re-downloading the ROM zips. Also, I even put the ROM zips in the /SNES/ROM folder because the app won't accept the change of the default zip location. 5 star when working for no ads

by S####:

With touch tech the way it is. It's makes it only so useful. There is no way to fully compute full controls and input using touch devices don't like to work correctly due design faws are holding this tech back from getting full fun and full controls, can't input combos on most games. Tried variety of different games yet same scenario every time was a disappointment but it's not at fault it's just technology the way it is at the moment

Z70%
by Z####:

The buttons work better than the emu that I paid for. However, I saved it in game, but when I tried to play again it only gives new game option. I looked in my file app and the save is there in the folder it is supposed to be. My other game has a save in the same file and still works. I don't understand why. If this is adressed I will rate 5.

Z70%
by Z####:

Was very close to removing this then played with settings and my phone. Now this is my snes emu of choice. 2 things turned off frame skip then turn off battery saver mode. Sound is perfect ,control (moga) and display are fantastic on sgn2

I70%
by I####:

About half the games I tried were slow and the audio crackled no matter what setting I tried. Might need a quad core droid to handle the emulation in real time. ..........wanted to add that I am running ICS. Issues might be due to incompatibility with it.

Z70%
by Z####:

Could just be my phone. Can't tell for sure but the psx emulator I'm using runs flawless. This one lags constantly. It shouldn't really happen since snes games need way less processing power than psx.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's nice to play the classics. But the sound skips, the games lag, buttons could be just a bit bigger for the d pad, also the l and r buttons need moved to top of screen so sick of hitting them when I'm attacking something.

Z70%
by Z####:

Could be cleaner, like the main image one see's when they first load the app. Wouldn't take too much to clean it up and give things a smoother look. Other than that I love it. So much so that I am ditching 'Super GNES'. I find this one to be more/better responsive to my touch control/s. And best of all this one is free! SuperGNES is over priced anyway, should be a buck, maybe 2... at most!!¡¡

Z70%
by Z####:

Runs very well, handles troublesome games right out of the box. My only complaint is if you use portrait mode, the on-screen controls are really small and can't be adjusted. Not worth removing a star though, since I'm fine with using landscape mode, which is perfectly fine.

D70%
by D####:

But when I was playing some games, I heard some crackling sounds. They mostly occur when I was playing Final Fantasy III. Even at the lowest sound settings, there are a few of those sounds. Would like if its fixed. Great app though!

Z70%
by Z####:

Contrary to what others have said I've noticed a lot of sound crackle even with sample stretching maxed out. Other than that general emulation is better. I almost forgot to mention also that the fast forward function doesn't seem to work.

Z70%
by Z####:

Most emulators that I've used are pretty incomparable to one another. I'm use to ZSNES, but that's for the PC. The only features that weren't here that I would've loved to have seen implemented, an actual "fast forward" .. and Game Genie support. But the GG support (as mentioned in the description) will be implemented in a future release. But the Fast Forwarding is the only reason why I don't give it five stars. It's rather solid, other than that.

Z70%
by Z####:

Should be a 5 star application, yet it has some movement control problems for me on my phone. (Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket.) It seems to be a problem with where the diagonal pad actually recoginizes a key press. This, plus the speed up key not working cause this to lose two stars. However, for free this snes emulator is definately the #1 pick. That is free, anyway.

Z70%
by Z####:

At first I had trouble finding roms but once I did they work great. the sound is choppy at first but fixes itself. also it force closes sometimes, but overall it's great. Fix these issues and I will give you 5 stars.

Z70%
by Z####:

Better than SuperGNES!! Couldn't run and jump at the same time, because they won't change their emulator to allow multi touch, and also refuse to allow people to individually move buttons wherever they want! THIS EMULATOR DOES ALL THAT AND MORE! Audio has been clear and games have run beautifully . One thing.... could you please allow us to manually change the screen size, like how the myboy emulator does? App seems abandoned but I hope the devs see this...

Z70%
by Z####:

Great. It brings back many happy memory's . And to be honest with so many mobile 2d games most of which are in my opinion terrible , the mega drive and snes emulator is a dream come true for me samsung. Buttons can be sometimes a little tricky. But what would you expect when these games were designed for joy pad.

Z70%
by Z####:

Playing on the SAMSUNG Note 4. Placed the rom file (.smc) in the SNESDroid folder and works like a charm. NOTE: If you want to exit your game/enter the SNESDroid menu, hold down the double-window key located to the left of the physical button on the Note 4. The only thing I have noticed so far is the audio is a little off. Will update rating after using app for some time.

Z70%
by Z####:

Pretty good - does exit the game suddenly quite often on HTC One X though (seemingly when the ad banner changes?). Also buttons occasionally go unresponsive. Besides that, the better free SNES emulators on the market.

Z70%
by Z####:

It played Perfectly before the update now its slow at times. It Has Ads now.. & Ive gotta say this app has really changed since the update and not for the better either. A friend told me of a emulator called "Classicboy" it emulates multiple systems including the snes and is advertisement free. Im going to switch to that emulator

Y70%
by Y####:

When I click "Parent Directory" then click my rom folder, it takes me right back to the parent directory and doesn't even show my rom list. Anyone else having issues? Till then I can only give one star until I know it works. Edit: Ok it works, but the sound is still really choppy. If someone could please tell me the best configuration to use to cut out the lag in audio i will give it 5 stars. Droid Charge.

V70%
by V####:

Brand new galaxy nexus. Video and sound Too slow when pressing buttons in succession. For most other people using this, I suggest increasing frame rate and decreasing video and sound resolution to help with crackling. Personally, not good enough quality and there are definitely better emulators out there.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is the only app that worked correctly for my Ego 4G so far. Most of them had sound issues but this one has something to adjust the sound rate. Just make sure you get the update.

Z70%
by Z####:

The only update in months was to add advertisement support. I've sent emails to which I've received no response about games that don't run properly or at all. I feel like the dev only cares about whatever money is made off of the ads. I've moved on to other projects with actual support.

Q70%

After some update in this year both this and the GENPlusDroid started to showing nothing but black screen, though sounds still good. It was a great emu but there were 3-4 updates around now and still nothing.I saw some other guys with Motorola has the same problem. I tried to go to the dev's forums but after a few days later i only got a weird monologue about Adidas shoes as answers. I soon uninstall it.

Hey.. works well, great to use with save files and auto saves ect... only thing is lack of support for game shark codes ect. Sometimes I just want to smash a game for the story I don't want to deal with all the crap and there are some great codes to avoid this... If you could add this to your emulator it would be perfect. At this stage I will complete the game I am playing but move on to an emulator that does support this.

I love this app!! I've been able to play my childhood games and i feel like a kid again!!! The only thing wrong is that i can't play Mario paint on here. It'll open up but i can't move it. Can u please fix this it was my favorite game when i was a kid.

Once a game is started on the emulator there is no way back to main menu to select a new game. Please fix

R70%
by R####:

SNESDroid does about everything a good emulator should, but needs improvement in 2 areas. On my 2013 Nexus 7 it has trouble with pops in the sound, and the tweak that remedies the pops lowers the pitch of the sounds. So either way games don't sound right. The second problem is with the UI. "Load State" is right next to "Load ROM", and it's easy to accidentally choose the wrong one, which can instantly erase hours worth of game progress.

I love this I can finally see what Mega ManX was like only bad thing is it will be slow at times but other than that AMAZING

R70%
by R####:

It may be a tad rough looking and has one minor bug (on my phone at least) where changing the orientation at the menu screen force closes it, but the ability to customise the size of the buttons and location as well as perfect rendering completely make up for that.
