Comments on SNESDroid for Android

★★★★★ Poopy McStankbottom · Nov 26, 2025
The best !! The only snes emulator that plats Don karma world this emulator plays roms that are not playable on any other emulator thank you devs very much
★★★★★ Carlos Pereira · Jul 17, 2022
The SNES Droid works flawlessly with the game pad iPega 9076. All the buttons are pre-configured .it's awesome. The only game from the play store I manage to play with the Game Pad I had to set up all the buttons all the times.... it was a nightmare. With SNESDROID I have hundreds of Nintendo roms to play with the game pad. I'm a happy camper 🐶🐶🐶
★★★★★ A Google user · Mar 8, 2018
It is kinda a bare bones snes emulator which I like, plus based on a pc emu which I loved... to fix the horrible sounds turn the sample rate stretching to zero, it should make it sound normal again like the real snes plus turn the fast-forward off if you want (I did) and also frame skip to zero. So far runs faster than any other emu and experiences like the real snes.
★★★★☆ Lucas Chia · Aug 31, 2021
Nearly perfect but there's only one problem: When I turn off touch input, the touch input is still there.
★★★★★ Lake Green · Jun 9, 2022
Wonderful emulator! Playing earthbound on it
★☆☆☆☆ ƈʊʀʟʏ ʄʀօʍ ȶɦɛ ֆաɨʀʟʏ · Jan 23, 2021
Doesn't load roms, so VERY USELESS. It looks to have options, but they take you in circles.
★☆☆☆☆ Sk Samim Ali · May 8, 2018
Can't use shaders. I don't downloades any shaders!
★★☆☆☆ June Kitty · Jan 10, 2018
Would be nice if it could find an external memory card or did a search to find the roms. Overall it needs more options. I still prefer "John Snes" better.
★★☆☆☆ Shoa · Jun 8, 2020
It was working all right the save games just dissapeard when reloading SNES Droid. I have no idea why it happens.
★☆☆☆☆ R S · Jan 11, 2022
This has to be owned by google it has Google Ads that cover content and pop up non-stop even after hitting the x to get rid of the ad they show back up instantly. I don't suggest using this unless u love being spammed with ads
