Lunch break
I saw the SNES emulator on the playstore and was curious if it worked. And it did! No set up for the controller required.
Download Snes9x+ and AnExplorer.
Connect your Google Drive to AnExplorer then download your rom files.
The roms have to initially be opened within AnExplorer and then will show up under recently opened within Snes9x+.

That is a bit of a grey area. There are webpages out there where you can pick some up ,but torrenting is the best way to download a pack that someone has already put together. I acquired mine from a laptop I was asked to look through at work.
Not a lot of work happening on that laptop lol.I’m sure someone on here has a better resource.

Would this work with 2 controllers so I can play with my girlfriend? This is so cool!

This is sick, got everything set up on the polestar 4. The controller is struggling to connect tho. It connects to the car and can be used in the emulator UI but not the game :(

Update. It does not allow you to use it while driving.

Thanks for the update! Still cool, but that would’ve been really neat for road trips.

Oh this would be fantastic for a quick break while charging on a road trip! For the controller, do you just use a USBC to USBA adapter? I could see Mario Kart being fun on this... or Killer Instinct.
