Android’s first N64 emulator, N64oid, developed by the Android emulator man himself, Yongzh has been removed for the Android Market. If you have been wondering where it is, if Google took it down or when it will be back, why it was taken down, there are answers for those questions. It is only temporarily off the Android Market.
Back in January we broke the story that the FPse Playstation One emulator was heading to Android and that it would be available ‘in a few days’. As with all things, a few days turned into a couple of weeks but the good news is that you can head to the Android Market and download it now and get playing PS1 games!
Tiger King has developed 6 other emulators for Android, mostly geared around Gameboy devices and general Nintendo devices. His newest emulator, Tiger Lab, is in very early beta development but he has decided to release it as more of a Proof-of-Concept. Tiger Labs is a Nintendo DS emulator.
While on the subject of emulators and things of that nature we are sad to report that the Capcom Play System 2 emulator, CPS2 for short, recently launched onto the Android market has been pulled off and suspended. Why has it been pulled from the Android market? Copyright infringement apparently has been claimed by Capcom over the emulator.
So a recent article posted on a major gaming site states that due to the Wild West nature of the Android marketplace, the market has gone too far which is all due to the emulators available for your Android phone. While piracy is a major issue in all areas of gaming, not just mobile, the article goes a bit far with slandering the Android marketplace because emulators are allowed.
While Android already has a bunch of great emulators available for most gaming systems right down to the old school ZX Spectrum emulators and even a PS Emulator in the works, there isn’t a whole lot of systems left to cover. Capcom Play System 2 emulator, or CPS2 for short, now covers another system and is available in two versions depending on your screen resolution.
While taking a break from all the Google I/O craziness and instead taking a quick look around the Android market to see what’s new I stumbled upon an interesting utility app for gamers, especially those who are fans of using emulators. ROM Buddy, developed by MoMojo, lets you download any ROM you like for whatever emulator you have on your Android phone.
By mass I mean quantity and developer Yongzh who has developed an emulator for many console systems for use on our Android devices has just dropped an update to every single one of them. Yongzh was one of the first people to bring emulators to Android and they still remain the best so far to date.
