    I use Lemuroid, an open source front end for RetroArch. It is dead simple to use, just point it to the ROMs folder on your phone, tap the game you want to play, and it all just works!

      I’ve installed Lemuroid this morning. It is the only open source SNES emulation app that is available un F-Droid. I haven’t usted yet, but i’ll give it a good chance 👌🏻

      I’ve used Lemuroid for Game Boy emulation before but it had trouble remembering my saves for some reason. It’d sometimes forget that I’d saved recently, and so I’d load and find myself in an earlier save. Also on a Samsung phone, albeit an A-series. Do you know what might have caused this?

        Nope, I haven’t had any issues with save states. Keep in mind, there’s a difference between saving the state manually and the option to auto save state when you leave the app. If you force quit Lemuroid or whatever goes wrong as you leave the app, the auto state save might not work. That’s my best guess. I usually do both, save state myself, and rely on the auto save state. :)

          Oh, I actually meant “real” saves, done from in-game. It’s like Lemuroid had some chance of not updating the save file. I never figured out why this might happen. (Maybe it has something to do with not properly generating a new state on exit and having old states wipe newer saves?)

            Ohhhh I got you. I’m not sure. In other emulators (on computer) I’ve seen that save states don’t actually save to the drive until you quit the emulator, so maybe something similar happened here?
