Mario on the move

Remember those games you loved playing as a kid  Mario ,
 Donkey Kong and Zelda. Well its possible to play these
and many more on your android mobile or tablet.

There are many emulators (Programs that mimic old consoles) on android, but for super Nintendo games we recommend Snesoid

So follow the guide below and we will have you jumping on Goombas in no time.

Note: Get awesome does not condone piracy, and offers this information for entertainment purposes only. Get awesome also takes no responsibility if you follow this guide and manage to break phone in the process.

Step 1.

Snesoid is not available on the Google play store, so in order to download and install first you must tell your phone to allow apps.not on the marketplace.

To do this go to ‘settings’  then ‘applications’ and then tick ‘unknown sources’

Step 2

Download Snesoid.

Unzip and transfer to your phone. The easiest way to do this is to email the file to yourself then download it on you’re android device.

Once downloaded click download complete to install.

Step 3

The emulator should load up when you tap on its icon. Now we need to get some games to play.

These are called roms and snesoid uses the file extension .smc although it can play files in the zip format. You can find these files by using a search engine such as Google . For legal reasons we cannot tell you where to find them.

You can Either download these files directly to your phone or download them to your pc and transfer them onto the phone via cable  or email.

Step 4 

If you have followed this guide correctly then you should be already to play. Simpy open snesoid  and navigate to the folder of your stored game.

By default, the screen will be covered with virtual buttons. If you're using a device with physical buttons, hit the menu key, choose 'Settings', and choose 'Input settings'. From here, uncheck the virtual keypad settings, and then go into 'Key mappings'.

Now, tap on each button name (Left, X, Start, etc.) and press the physical button you'd like to assign it to. When you're all done, you will be able to play with your Xperia Play controls, or a physical keyboard.
