SmartGear Free
Free GameAbout SmartGear Free
** NEW ** added support for PowerA MOGA Hero, Pro and Pro Power controllers
SmartGear is a multi-system classic game emulator. It contains code to emulate the hardware of classic game systems so that the original game code can run unmodified on different hardware. This allows you to play games from a wide variety of systems on your phone, tablet or PC. It includes code to directly communicate with many wireless bluetooth game controllers. The advantage of having built-in code is that it reduces lag/latency of responses and allows two-player simultaneous play. SmartGear currently supports games designed for the GameBoy, GameGear, Sega Master System, NES (Famicom), Genesis (MegaDrive), Turbografx-16, and various coin-operated games. The games are accessed as ZIP files containing “rom dumps” from the original game cartridges. SmartGear does not contain any copyrighted game code. Do not ask BitBank Software for access to these games, we cannot provide them. It is up to the user to have the appropriate access and rights to use the original game code.
Features:
1) Previously played games gallery for quick access to your favorites
2) Supports GameShark and GameGenie cheats
3) Direct support of Wiimote, MOGA, Zeemote, SteelSeries Free, BGP-100, and iControlPad. Low latency, Supports 2-player simultaneous play.
4) Pre-defined keys for Xperia Play, iCade, iMpulse, Gamestop controller
5) Customize key codes for any input device
6) Turbo mode allows 2-16x advance through (boring) intros (not on the free version)
7) Load/Save and auto-load of games (not on the free version)
8) Includes smart stretching algorithm to make low-res games look good on hi-res displays
9) Allows head-2-head play of GameBoy and GameGear games on a single device (simulates link cable)
10) Rewind gameplay 4 seconds in case of a "fatal" error
11) Save a screenshot as a PNG file
12) Pauses the game properly when the focus is lost or a menu is opened
13) Renders in OpenGL at 60fps (as long as your machine can handle it)
14) Optionally drive the GUI from the wireless controller (e.g. open, start, quit, etc)
15) Programmable shoulder button actions during gameplay (e.g. pause, rewind, save, etc).

There are compatability issues but it's FREE! and its got a cool shader that gets rid of the blocky-Ness of the graphics and makes them look more modern. I want to purchase the full version but many of my favourite games don't work but this is the only megadrive emu that has the shader I love so ill stick with the free one for now.

Only got it for the Master Syatem emulation and Turbo Grafix. Geneais emulation is kind of iffy. Haven't tested anything else yet. Just wish I could load my in game save.

Ok...Tested it on a Wiimote & works no prob. Virtual controls would be good, as most folk like to play on the go. Tested various ROMS of all listed game consoles - great, runs most. I think it badly needs SNES, as it's mostly very popular with gamers. No landscape mode during gameplay? Found the Coin-Op thing a bit pointless. App icon could be a little more eye-catching & apt of what the app is all about. Good to see the slightly more obscure Gamegear & Turbografx included. Needs more in-game configs.

Got this because its a FREE emulator that is compatible with game pads; very pleased. I don't like the inability to rotate the screen to get a better perspective, but that's probably a paid feature, which is kinda lame. I am having issues remapping my controls for my SteelSeries Free, though. When it says to input the control during remapping, there is no response from the software when I give the controller inputs. So, B and A locations are flipped for Mario.. So that's sorta wack. But, overall I love this

Awesome emulation, you did a very good job with it. But could you add visual controls, just cause it's confusing without them. Thx and keep up the good work!

Seems there is no quality control in. the app store as I've downloaded several games today that do no function like they should. There is no touch controls. It seems that an external game controller is the only way to play Kinda BS but what ever I guess.
