How To Play ROMs on Android Devices - PC to Phone

This is the Universal Getting Started Guide for playing ROMs on Android Devices. This guide will work 95% of the time, it depends which emulator you are using. These instructions are specifically for PC to Phone Installation, if you are looking for mobile instructions please press the back button. *Most emulators recognize zip files, so there is no need to extract them anymore.

Get an emulator, either from the Market or our Emulator section, like SNESoid, Psx4Droid, or Ataroid. Android Emulator

Download any Game(ROM) from this website onto your computer. Android Emulator

If using any of the game systems listed above, you will need to download a BIOS File. To get a BIOS file, visit our BIOS Section. You will need to UnZip the BIOS and place it in the same folder the ROMs are in. Don't forget! Android Emulator

Connect the USB cord to your Android mobile device then to your Computer. On your Android mobile device, you will get a notice, Turn ON USB Storage (this differs on phones). Android Emulator

Create a folder called ROMS within your Android mobile device (Organization). You can do this by accessing your Android mobile device through My Computer, it will show a new device there. Open it. Android Emulator

Transfer all games you've downloaded into the ROMS folder on your Android mobile device. Don't forget to transfer the BIOS File as well. Remember to click Turn OFF USB Storage when you are done! Android Emulator

Open up your emulator, if you have a BIOS you need to load it first. Afterwards, go to your ROMs folder (/sdcard/download/roms/ or /mnt/sdcard/download/roms) and then double tap the game of your choice to start playing. If the game does not play correctly, you may need to modify settings such as frame rate or enabling special features. OH yeah....most importantly, make sure to have fun! Android Emulator

Note: Lite versions or also known as free emulators, do not have "save state" unless you purchase the product. This rule is null if the full emulator is free, duh! :-)
