Super Nintendo & Sega Megadrive
Let’s get the ball rolling with the easy stuff, the Super Nintendo (SNES) and the Sega Megadrive (aka Sega Genesis). These two consoles have been the crowning jewel of the emulation world, mostly because each has a rich back catalogue of titles to play through, with many of the most iconic gaming series ever created. Emulation of these consoles has been done for a long time now, so compatibility is virtually 100% and easy to setup. There are several completely free emulators at your disposal on the Google Play Store, and aside from dialling in a few personal preferences, I found them all to work without a need for anything technical.
Emulators used
- GENPLUSDroid
- RetroArch
- ClassicBoy
All games I tested worked trouble free, all the classics worked as great as they did on their original consoles and Altered Beast, QuackShot, Aladdin, Super Mario 3, Sonic The Hedgehod, SuperMetriod all proved worthy additions for the Nvidia Shield. Even better is that many of the games, especially so the SNES titles benefited from an improved resolution, antialiasing, rendering filters, digital to analogue key mapping (allowing use of the analogue sticks) and more; put simply, they’ve never looked so good.
Too bad the NVIDIA Shield Portable is sold out now, people are selling it for 500 plus.
I messaged Nvidia and I was told that it is not discontinued and that they are working as hard as they can to put it back in stock. They said to just wait and watch their site, and watch for it to be in stock once more.
I was hoping to find out how the Nvidia Shield set top box was for old games…
hi can you tell me the settings of the gran turismo please?
