Every few months I completely blow up a person's brain by showing them emulators exist. Every person so far has asked if the can get Mario on their phone. It's actually kind of magic.
It's genuinely my favorite small thing to help people do.
The joy I've gotten to experience from people realizing they can re-play their favorite childhood games is worth it every time and usually brightens my day up as well.
If Android, for about as simple as you can go from a setup perspective, Lemuroid has solid support (through retroarch cores) for essentially everything through the PS1 era. It's essentially a pared-down version of Retroarch for people not interested in fiddling with as many settings who just want to scan a folder for roms and play games.
If you're looking for more fine control or a broader list let me know and I'd be glad to elaborate.
Retroarch and Lemuroid are good frontends for a bunch of emulators. There are others if you wanna have more individual control over controls or shaders or whatever, but just avoid the SNES emulator SuperRetro16 like the plague.

Super Metroid is now available on the PC in the office at my work cause I showed people how to do it.
What emulators do you recommend on phones?
I've used emulators for decades but I spent like 5 minutes a day on the phone, so I know nothing of this world.
Android or iOS?

I'm on Android, so I'll check that one out. Thanks!
