Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "BEST EMULATORS FOR ANDROID & iPHONE (MOBILE GAMING) 2024"

Starting point is 00:00:03 Something I don't get into often, but it's very interesting how for this whole period of me doing the podcast, mobile games have been neglected to a point where I realized I needed to make some type of segment giving the mobile gaming community love. Because of course, I cover a lot of games from the PlayStation Xbox Steam platform. but when you look at it in totality and especially as a true gamer you have to acknowledge one of the fastest growing businesses in the media industry because with mobile games simply outselling all of PC and console games as far as or outperforming PC and console games as far as engagement because if you don't don't know because mobile games are so accessible and easy to pick up it absorbs twice as many hours per week compared to PC slash console console games so of course when I came to that realization because you know I do my research before I get into these segments I wanted to break down the best emulators not only for iOS but also for Android platforms while also just giving a little apology to the mobile game community

Starting point is 00:01:39 because obviously I've been neglecting y'all. And that was not on purpose because covering games, you get so caught up in the super big budget, God of Worst, Spider-Man, Last of Us, Starfield. I don't know if Steam exclusive game. Do Steam have exclusive games? Well, as far as the Steam popular games, Counterstrike, you know, Dota, things of that nature.

Starting point is 00:02:08 But focusing on the mobile aspect, I think needs to be more consistent from me. So for that, I sincerely apologize. Hopefully, y'all accept my apology. You know what I'm saying? Because, hey, I'm not giving another one. So anyways, mobile games, of course, has been changing its perception over time as the average player now when it comes to mobile games is around 30 years old surprising right and then as far as u.s gamers gen x and baby boomers which is 45 plus well baby boomers is 45 plus

Starting point is 00:02:52 culminates up to 25% of top grossing games and 2021 marking a 6% increase from 2019 So that is just a testament of the times and how people are adapting to the overall mobile game industry. So that is something where when I was looking at it, that wasn't the biggest factor that stood out, but it was one of those to acknowledge because usually when you think of mobile games, you think of a little kid that needs to be entertained so he or she doesn't act up. So you give them an iPad and let them play on the game while you can have some peace and quiet in your humble abode, right? So other than that, the mobile game industry has reached approximately $200 billion with a B in revenue. unprecedented growth as far as the gaming industry. So

Starting point is 00:04:06 of course 2020 the aftermath of COVID slowed down some of the numbers for mobile games as everybody was inside. So people were more inclined to play on their mobile devices versus

Starting point is 00:04:23 going to their job because they had to be in person. You know, with COVID you got to work from home things of that nature so now you're playing games on your mobile device while you're waiting for a meeting or something like that so anyways um despite the slowdown in 2022 because of the pandemic there was a lot of changes that happened in a mobile mobile industry that affected it a lot as far as Apple's privacy policy change basically changing basically changing and affecting mobile games ads and the industry had to recover from that whole privacy fiasco that Apple basically caused

Starting point is 00:05:13 right so another thing about mobile games is that the whole traditional platforms like consoles and PC have been outperformed when it comes to mobile engagement which I've already said but now I want to switch gears again into the actual point of this segment which which is the best emulators for iOS and Android. Because if you don't know, emulators are one of those things to where the new technology has allowed us to have certain aspects

Starting point is 00:05:51 when it comes to our mobile devices that which is simply impossible back in the day. So now, whenever you're able to play games like Grand Theft Auto 3, whenever you're able to play games like Crazy Taxi, uh mario um spider man i saw somebody who's playing spider man web of shadows on the mobile device apparently there's an upcoming nintendo 3d s emulator called folium which is if you want to look it up f o l i um running on iphone um oh that's the specific iPhone for the person who is running it but basically it was footage of upcoming nintendo 3d s emulator folium

Starting point is 00:06:34 supposed to be coming soon. So they said that that specific emulated, you'll only be able to run 3DS games at full speed on iPhone 15 Pro or newer. And older models won't be able to get the achieved full experience. So what I wanted to do, which is give you a plethora of options. So just this whole segment, whether you are Android user, whether you're an iOS user, you will find an emulator hopefully in this segment that is fitting for you and also analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio because i'm playing this video and let me shout

Starting point is 00:07:21 him out because basically i'm not like talking about whatever this video is over i just like the way it looks so uh this video is from brandon butch usually i try to use videos from like big companies or from like actual emulator companies but when it comes to the emulator it's such a new thing that i don't really know if they like okay to be transparent i don't know if emulators were all the way legal in the way it was used by mobile gamers in the past now a days i've seen more legitimate emulators that you can use on your mobile devices now that um that is that is sufficient i mean there's literally what I just said about the Nintendo 3DS emulator like they are starting to embrace the emulator community rather than shun it because of course you know certain platforms

Starting point is 00:08:16 aka Nintendo would rather their Mario IP just simply be on Nintendo and no other platform so what else okay so yeah let's get into the top emulators it's really not going to be too long that's why I gave that whole breakdown of mobile games and how it's impacting the game the community because obviously when i get into these emulators it's going to be pretty short and sweet and basically name value and what stands out about the emulator so with that being said get your pin and pad or just web browser and just be ready to look up whatever emulator stands out to you so as far as the best emulators for iOS after you know going through a bunch of articles and looking up stuff on the internet of course this is the list i came up with and it's

Starting point is 00:09:06 about five emulators well no five emulators for iOS I found and seven for Android that it was a consensus that it was like one of the better ones better emulators out on the market so anyways for the first emulator for iPhone we had afterplay.io which is a browser-based collection of emulators and it has cloud storage for game saves and cross-device gaming offers a variety of gaming consoles including game boy super nintendo entertainment system you know hey got to keep my gamer card you know they had their abbreviation but i was like hey i know what that means i don't want any kudos for that because of course i mean it's one of the most popular concerts of all time but we'll be lying to ourselves

Starting point is 00:10:00 if you said if it was it was still relevant today so i was like what what does that stand for i was like oh that's day so I'm not that old now just play let me chill so anyways and then you have the Nintendo entertainment system which you know the NDS and then you have the Nintendo 64 premium and more also a little bit more about afterplay.io it features auto save manual save slots cheats input customization and screenshots so that's the overview of afterplay.io and that was the number one as far as the census over all the research I did for emulators for iPhone. So yeah, let me just start with the number one and now get into the other ones.

Starting point is 00:10:43 So the number one emulator I found as far as research when it came to the Android devices was the retro arc where they said that this was the best emulator for Android simply because multi-consul emulator with a fronted, a front-end? for various cores front 10 that's a new word hold up i don't think i've ever heard that one before front 10 definition what what does that mean because i thought i was talking about fronting like all they fronten all right so front in it says the front of a car so that's definitely not it the part of a radio or television receiver to which the aerial signal goes first that sounds about right i don't mind this one for a computer so this is probably it the part of the part of

Starting point is 00:11:36 a computer system of application with which the user interacts directly. All righty. Well, if you wanted a definition for that word because I sure did, there you have it. So multi-consul emulator with a front tend for various cores. Supports a wide range of consoles from Atari 2600 to PlayStation 2. now i'm just going to get into the rest of the emulators for iphone and android so as far as the rest of the emulators for iphone well yeah iOS system so ipad all that stuff in the whole ecosystem ios you have the delta app you have play and play dot j s you have the app store of course but that's not

Starting point is 00:12:26 i mean i guess you could look up stuff like you can look at up stuff as far as the specific app but I don't really think that's an emulator but it's on here say and then you have upcoming emulators which the one I just named you have the the ones from the Android side talking about retro arc PPSP I don't know what that is and you oh yeah boots so anyways I'll go over that again the emulators for iPhone number two was the delta app well of course number one was afterplay.io number two was delta app number three was play exclamation point and play exclamation point dot j s so it was like two and one and number four is the app store and then number five is just the upcoming emulators like the retro arc things of that

Starting point is 00:13:22 nature so number five's not really an option currently and then let's get into android so the other emulators for Android you have retro arc of course which I just went over N-E-S dot E-M-U so emu number three you have MD dot emu you have well number four you have S N-E-S not X E-X plus which is a popular Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator on Android then you have have number five the dolphin emulate uh emulator number six you have the drastic ds emulator and then number seven you have the p p s s p p you know that extra p yeah p you know my eyesight getting bad i'm about 80 i'm about i'm about 80 at this point like goodness so those are the

Starting point is 00:14:24 respective emulators for iOS and android obviously at the end of the day when it comes to emulate It's basically offering a range of options for retro gaming enthusiasts. So if you want to go back and play your favorite retro games that you used to play growing up as a kid, you know, if you was 80 or 90, you know what I'm saying? Let me stop age. But if you want to play retro games, you can on your phone. And those are emulators that could, that I just listed. So rewind if you wanted the list again, but those are the emulators you could use to play.

Starting point is 00:15:01 retro games on your mobile device that will bring you back to your childhood and also providing access to just a wide selection of classic games across across various consoles so with that being said i don't know how legal it was back in the day but it seems as being more embraced and to take embraced in today's age so i'm glad we've we've reached this uh this uh what's it called basically we came to a common ground we negotiated to a standstill we have certain emulators that we openly talk about and Nintendo just will continue to sue others whenever it reaches too much of a egregious level which we're about to get into in the next segment but with that being said click my link to my bio let me know

Starting point is 00:15:59 one of my social media is what do you think about my list of the best emulators for iOS and Android And also, when it comes to mobile games, when it comes to the mobile games in the gaming industry, what is your favorite, what is your favorite past memory of your mobile gaming experience?
