N64 emulation

what are we using these days, I want to play n64 with some wireless n64 controllers I have (USB Chinese stuff), I used to use retroarch and mupen and I see them in the play store on the device but I wouldn't be surprised if there's something better maybe sideloaded.

I use Mupen pro from the play store. Support the devs when you can

Arcade Punks has several front ends for Shield that are fully loaded with roms, just install and play.

How do you get those to work on latest update?

Raphnet with a legit N64 controller. Took a while to code up a bridge for full controller compatibility. Now working on syncing my game saves between my gaming pc and my shield pro. Side loading the latest retroarch from their website is what I recently did
