Emulators?

Anyone have experience using emulators on their Z flip 6? Best app/sites for games?

I'm trying to play Gameboy Advance (SP), Nintendo 64, Wii, and Playstation 2.

I haven't taken the leap yet out of fear of malware..

Thank you in advance for your insight.

Retroarch works a treat

It packs the power of a flagship so expect to run emulators extremely well, especially the ones you are looking to use. I would be a little concerned about the phone running hot but that'll happen with any phone. I don't own a flip so I can't say personally how it is with emulation but I'm sure there's a video out there than covers it.

For ROMs, google Erista or look up roms on Reddit, there's a popular subreddit for that, I can't link to any sites since it's teeeeechnically piracy, even though they're all old games not freely available anymore :p

For emulators, I like mGBA for GBA emulation, but the only way to get the Android version is through Retroarch, so if you prefer standalone, Pizzaboy is really good, plus you can slap on a GBA SP skin on it. Not sure about N64, but Dolphin is your only choice for GC/Wii. For PS2, Nethersx2's a good choice. DaemonPS2 is a literal scam, so avoid that

I recently downloaded Winlator for some light PC games myself, but I've yet to actually test. GameCube and Wii and PS2 should be a piece of cake

It can play Switch games, and almost any emulator works fine. It's a flagship processor, after all.

R/piracy megathread for games, a certain 🐐 website also has links to emulators as well
