• Runs on Android 12
• Supports, at the very least, GB, GBA, NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Gear
• Takes input from physical buttons
• Lets you hide on-screen buttons

I have a Sidephone with the Mini Controller keypad and I want to play games on it. There's a bespoke (unofficial) emulator for the phone called SideRetro, but it only supports GB, GBA, NES, and Genesis, and it's vibe-coded, so I'd rather use something else. Tried Lemuroid but it doesn't take input from the physical buttons and can't hide the on-screen buttons.

Edit: It's been tough finding a good selection of apps that recognize my physical buttons, let me hide the on-screen buttons, and play what I want. RetroArch seemed to do the trick, but if I hide the on-screen buttons there's also no way to open the RetroArch menu that I can find.

For now it looks like I'm sticking with SideRetro for the games it can play -- even if the dev uses AI to code it, I don't think it can actually harm my phone, and it's not like I'm paying for it. Nostalgia GG works great for Game Gear (it has ads, but thankfully only on the launcher) and an option no one mentioned yet for SNES, Snes9x, which turned out to be perfect.

Second Edit: Too many weird bugs in SideRetro, which isn't a surprise. I'm going with the Nostalgia apps for GG, GB, GBA, and NES, sticking with Snes9x for SNES, and found MDemu for Genesis.

Thanks for all the input, everyone!

A gamedev and artist I follow said this in response to someone asking if their game art was AI. It wasn't (and I don't even think it particularly looks like AI "art"), but like. Why would you be happy to hear this? What is the thought process?

Earth/Fire/Air/Water? Got any extras? Eighteen types like in Pokemon? Or are your elements completely different?

I've heard good things about it but I'm wary of the price tag.

Also, does anyone know if it can run the Lyft Driver app?

China's internet regulator on Monday launched a sweeping two-month crackdown targeting "malicious" social media content, including pessimistic economic commentary and posts promoting "negative outlooks on life," as concerns mount over widespread youth disillusionment amid the country's economic struggles.

The Cyberspace Administration of China announced the nationwide campaign will target content deemed to incite "violent or hostile sentiment," including posts that spread claims like "hard work is useless" or "studying is useless". The initiative comes as China faces record youth unemployment of 18.9% in August 2025 and persistent economic headwinds.
