They're really cheap. This one cost me only 2800 INR (~$30), but the vibrations are terrible. You can get one from a reputed brand for about 50 USD. I think Razor and Gamesir also sell these.
The only Android game I play with this is Fall Guys, that too once a week or so. But primarily I play PSP and PS2 games. Apps like Retroarch provide a really nice UI for retro games, and can make you feel like you're using a handheld console. Here's a screenshot of Retroarch:
NetherSX2 is also great. Here's the screnshot:
I love this thing and would recommend such gamepads to anyone looking for a handheld console experience.
Here's a few more photos of this.
Btw, it can also be connected to any PC with a Bluetooth connection. This one can also connect to PlayStation 4 as well. It will work on PS5 too, but only in UI and PS4 games.
PS - Sorry for the blurry pictures. i don't have a good secondary camera.
Edit - I wanted to add a bit about Retroachievements as well. If you're into retro gaming, and don't use Retroachievements, WHY? Maybe because you didn't know about it? Go to retroachievements.com and see if you can get all the achievements from your favourite childhood game. You can connect Retroachievements via only Retroarch, NetherSX2 and PPSSPP emulators only. Others are not supported yet (on Android).
Literally no iOS restrictions on Delta.
Okay, say we're standing face to face and I'm showing you my iPhone. I swipe between library pages showing you my games. I go into Final Fantasy III and show you a 50 hour save. Then, to your astonishment, I swipe up to Home, then uninstall the app. "But your save!" you say, but I'm just smiling. I go into the App Store, re-download Delta. I show you my empty library. Then I go to sign into Google Drive, turning my back for privacy. I turn back and show you I'm hitting Enter/Submit/Log In/whatever. We watch as my games repopulate the library. I open Final Fantasy III. My save is intact.
You're excited. You want Delta too. So you download it on yours. You have the games at home and you'll load them up later, but you wanna get some time in on Super Metroid right now. So I scroll down to it, long press it, and tap AirDrop. You swipe down, long-press your connections widget, tap AirDrop, and change it to "Everyone for 10 minutes." Your iPhone shows up, and I AirDrop you the game. Your iPhone receives it, and it opens in Files. You tap on it, it gives you the option to open it in Delta. It's now in your library. And backed up to your Google Drive account, if you set that up.
Android guys have some better options than Delta, for sure, but they also kinda wish they had Delta.
Delta emulates only Nintendo and only up to the NDS. That said, as a Super NES gamer, you should be aware of better ports on later systems. Most notably IMO, Zelda 3 on Super NES vs Four Swords on GBA. Four Swords is a multiplayer thing, but it also includes Zelda 3 but with better translation, widescreen support, a better inventory, updated translations, and some other fixes. Of course, if you're running a JP Zelda 3 1.0 for exploits and speed runs, well, that's different. (You can do that, too.)
That’s awesome, didn’t even think of how useful AirDrop could be in that situation!
How’s controller support? I have a Razer Kishi V2 I bought way back when to play the Rockstar games, that’s just otherwise gathering dust.
It’s nighttime here in Australia - will load up some files and test it out tomorrow morning! 😁
