i think we should have a thread of a list of emulators available on the market. (and off with links) and include what phones they work on.
can the community please help me make a list of these?
i will try to keep up with the emulators people post but people may need to search the posts for some that i miss.

this guide should help people setup the PSX emulator if they have issues:

anyone else having issues with Nesoid multitouch support DPad+A/B button at the same time

I do, I tried to play Megaman 3 and if I walk left with the D-pad, then tap jump twice, I start to move right and shoot instead for as long as I hold the jump button. It's kind of ridiculous.

Looks like playing action games with the Virtual D-Pad/Buttons is a no go. Will be waiting for a decent Bluetooth controller solution on my Incredible.

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask this, but here it goes. Are there emulators that you can use on your pc to emulate an android phone? So that maybe you can load and play some of the android games that do not have a pc version like air control and blow up?

there is one for developers, im not sure where to get it or anything just know it exists sorry.

Personally wasn't able to recreate what u were getting in that video. Do u have the newest update?
Maybe im just doing it wrong.

I wasn't at the latest version of NESoid in the video, was at the version just before the latest. I have now updated to the latest version and it seems to be a bit better with touch on the Incredible now, but still is a little wonky.

Here's a couple of things you can recreate on the new one with Megaman 3 using full touch screen controls... (I had pad, A & B at the bottom, select and start @ the top)

Scenario one:

1. Walk to the left (hold left) while tapping jump with the A button.
2. While holding A after a jump, press right on the D-pad. Your initial input of right will cause Megaman to fire his Blaster (normally done with the B button, but you didn't touch B at all.)

Scenario two:

1. Walk to the left (hold left) while tapping the Blaster with the B button.
2. Keep holding B, then attempt to walk to the right, by pressing right on the D-pad. Either Megaman will not move to the right, he'll BARELY move to the right, or he'll walk. But continue to hold down B while releasing your finger from right and then attempt to walk again, you'll get mixed results.
