  • 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.

I have Opinions about RetroArch, but I've downloaded it now and it seems to work fine.

I used to really dislike Retroarch, but ever since they started defaulting to the ozone UI, I have less complaints about the usability of it. Still prefer standalones because their performance is usually better, personally, but it isnt as bad as it used to be IMO.
