How to choose mobile game emulator APP
【Computer News Online】 Although the era of FC and arcades is gone forever, as a childhood memory of a generation, many users will also play FC and arcade games on their mobile phones and tablets when they are free. For mobile devices, there are currently many game simulator apps that can be selected. These game simulators have their own characteristics. For players who like to play FC and arcade games, how should they choose game simulator software?
Why use emulator instead of game app?
There are currently two solutions to play arcade games on mobile devices: one is to use a simulator; the other is to download the game APP. The reason why I recommend everyone to use simulator is that the independent APPs made of arcade games in the electronic market, such as the Dinosaur Kombat Unlimited Coin Rocker Edition, arcade celebrity, Three Kingdoms, etc., are mostly rogue applications. Games are just a cover to attract users. Some games are incomplete and the number of games is limited. If you want to play a few more games, you have to download other APPs. Some game apps even automatically download other applications.
Since the purpose of these arcade game apps is to allow players to download more other applications, they will not pay attention to the optimization of the game experience in the app. Slow response of virtual buttons and high delays are common problems. Therefore, when the emulator APP is more reliable, the author does not recommend that you choose the game APP.
MAME emulator experience has fallen behind
MAME is an arcade simulator software that everyone is very familiar with. In the highly competitive software market, it can be regarded as a very long-lived product. You should know that its first version was released on February 5, 1997 and still has many users. Now MAME has also launched an Android version, but in my opinion, the MAME emulator app that has not been optimized based on smart mobile devices cannot become a nostalgic tool for arcade fans.
This is because the usage of the MAME emulator APP is basically the same as that of the PC-side MAME software. Although it supports many games, the APP itself does not provide game ROM downloads. To play games using the MAME emulator APP, players have to download the game ROM by themselves and then put the ROM into the designated folder on their phone, which increases a lot of workload, and players will inevitably find it very troublesome to use it. At the same time, the interface of the MAME emulator APP is still in English and is not very easy to use. More importantly, the author has experienced multiple MAME simulator APP versions, which are not well controlled, especially the virtual rocker can only be used as a virtual cross key, and can only be pressed on the four directions of up, down, left and right. It is difficult to shake the rocker for a few rounds, and many game characters cannot use the moves.
TotalIt is said that although MAME can be very prosperous on PC, it still seems a bit unacceptable to the local environment and the user experience is already behind, and the author does not recommend it to everyone.

Chicken Simulator has many games and good experience
The Chicken Simulator is a popular simulator APP. It should be considered as an emulator game platform. It integrates a number of simulators including MAME, so its size reaches nearly 50MB. Chicken Simulator not only supports many games, including PSP, NDS, arcade, PS, GBC, SFC and other games, but also provides downloads of related games in the APP. Users only need to find the game they want to play, click the installation button, and start playing after the game is downloaded, saving users a lot of trouble.
More importantly, the Chicken Simulator is well optimized, the game runs smoothly, the virtual buttons are flexible in operation, and the sensitivity is also very high; it can also support peripherals such as wired handles and Bluetooth handles. The APP will automatically define keys, saving users the hassle of setting buttons and obtaining a good gaming experience. In terms of user experience, the Chicken Simulator is obviously much better than the MAME Simulator introduced earlier.
At the same time, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun. The Chicken Simulator provides two ways to connect: one is Internet battle. Click to enter the "Battle" page in the APP. After selecting the game room, the APP will automatically match your opponent. The author tried games such as "King of Fighters 97", "Contra", and "Tank War". The screen was smoother when online, which was similar to playing stand-alone players, but the number of online users was too small (the number of online users was less than 50 during the experience), and it was difficult for people to find people to play some games together. I just encountered the APP unresponsiveness when playing "Tank War", which indicates that the stability of the Chicken Simulator needs to be improved; the other is the face-to-face connection mode. Just select "face-to-face connection" in the game startup method, and then create a game on a certain phone, and other phones in the LAN (wireless router or hotspot connection) can be added to the game. It's very simple.
The Chicken Simulator supports the most types of games
The number of online battles in the Chicken Simulator is not large
Pai Pa simulator is similar to the Chicken Simulator, with a main combat function
The pap emulator is somewhat similar to the chick emulator introduced earlier, and also provides game downloads, but it supports a lot of games, including arcades, FC, GBA, PSP, etc. The optimization of Papa simulator is also done well, the game screen is smooth and the buttons are responding quickly.
The main promotion of Papa emulator is its combat function. In the APP, the four games "Xingyiquan", "Street Fighter 2: The Four Heavenly Kings", "King of Fighters 97" and "Samurai Soul" can be fought in the Internet, and there are still a lot of people online (the number of people online during the experience is 5.More than 00 people), match the opponent very quickly. At the same time, the local battle of the Papa simulator can be divided into two modes: LAN and hotspot. The author thinks hot spot battles are more interesting. First, select the hot spot mode on one mobile phone and create a room. As long as the other mobile phone chooses to join the game, the two mobile phones will automatically establish hot spot connections (the chicken emulator must also manually connect to the hot spot), and you can fight online. This hotspot online function is very practical without an unlimited LAN.
The hot battle function of APP is a highlight
Arcade game simulator is not optimized properly, the details are very rough
According to the author's years of experience in playing APPs, this APP with such a straightforward name is generally of low quality, and after the experience, it turns out to be so. The arcade emulator APP also provides game downloads, which is very convenient. However, playing arcade games on your mobile phone must be horizontally played. At this time, not only two of the four virtual buttons on the right are left, but these two buttons are also overlapped together. There is a reaction when one click of both keys, and it is completely impossible to play. This shows that the arcade game simulator APP optimization is not done well, the details are rough and not worth using.

Summary: Chicken Simulator is better
In these arcade game simulator apps, the Chicken Simulator supports many games and platforms, with sufficient optimizations, and can win online battles and other advantages. For players who want to experience arcade, FC and other games, the Chicken Simulator is the first choice.
Most of the other simulator apps in the electronics market are not of high quality. Since there are chicken simulators and simulators to choose from, you don’t have to waste time trying other simulator apps.
