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 didn't mention RetroArch, have you had any issues with that one? I know people have opinions on it, but it's always worked for me.

As long as they don't go above N64/PS1. I would say that RetroArch is great. Get some core recommendations, some are better than others.

On the SoC in their phone, even N64 through Retroarch is a stretch for many games. PS1 will generally be OK, but I'd still recommend a stand-alone emulator for that, too. Everything earlier than that generation should be fine, though.

I have a retroid 4 pro and it plays PS2 fine. The Qualcomm chips in many phones are more powerful than it's MediaTek Dimensity.
