Looking for an Android emulator (piefed.blahaj.zone)

  • Runs on Android 12
  • Supports, at the very least, GB, GBA, NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Gear
  • Takes input from physical buttons
  • Lets you hide on-screen buttons

I have a Sidephone with the Mini Controller keypad and I want to play games on it. There's a bespoke (unofficial) emulator for the phone called SideRetro, but it only supports GB, GBA, NES, and Genesis, and it's vibe-coded, so I'd rather use something else. Tried Lemuroid but it doesn't take input from the physical buttons and can't hide the on-screen buttons.

You can definitely hide the on-screen buttons, and I'm fairly sure it has controller support as well but you may need to mess around in the settings for it to work. Your other option is probably RetroArch but don't get it from Google Play because that one is outdated, get it from the official site.

Lemuroid has controller support, but it won't recognize my phone's built-in physical buttons. I guess I'll give RetroArch a try, thanks.
