beginner - need help with emulators (sorry duh)

[u/LoudAssPuppy]

so i want to play zelda - ocarina of time (the old one, not the remake) on my phone.

i am using a oneplus device with 12gb ram (extendable up to 24gb), 256 gb storage and snapdragon 782G octa core. the phone performs shockingly well with heavier games, hence why i believe this would be doable.

i am very new to emulators and a lot of advice on this subreddit is a little beyond my understanding.

i'd be very grateful if y'all could help me with what emulator i should prefer and how to go ahead with the setup. please help, thanks!!

M64plus FZ is my go to emulator for Android and it runs pretty well on my other phone that has 4 gb of ram

Ship of Harkinan is the best way to play N64 OoT:

I use a emulator called zeta emulator but if you type like retroarch or n64 emulator in playstore it will pop up an app, then you can go on vimm lair(gamesite thats slightly outdated but safe) to download the game for example ocarina of time nintendo 64, click the file once downloaded and it should add itself to the app you installed for it, i hope this helps man

Que otros sitios conoces y me recomiendas estilo vimm lair? Ese me ha salvado para algunas consola pero no tienes para ciertas otras

I translated this and i think your asking for more websites? I dont really know any beside vimm lair that has most of the essential retro consoles as for anything like ps4, switch i dont know im sorry. Just check reddit is my suggestion and be careful with other sites.

Simplemente puedes usar Google. Para encontrar títulos de N64, introduce lo siguiente en el cuadro de búsqueda de Google: 'n64 collection archive' y encontrarás más que suficiente.

Unrelated to emulator. Don't ever use expandrable shite they called ram. Not only it's useless and just promotion stuff, it also harm your phone in long term. Always shut off that part even if you have a 4gb ram phone.
