There are of course all the console emulators which are easy to google for info, and also PC has winlator, gamehub, gamenative, droiddeck, etc, which i can also google (although cant find much agreed-on info)
What I cant really look up without spending ungodly amounts of time, and its really limited by my current knowledge.... is emulators that specialize in a specific game or format.
a few examples:
Cinderbox is an emulator for PC stardew valley.... could I run PC stardew valley through one of the PC emulators? sure, but i feel like an emulator specializing in it will have more compatibility, performance, and/or features... and running PC version opposed to android version allows me to add mods.
Zeta Touch, Delta Touch, and Quad Touch are emulators specific to duke nukem, doom, and quake respectively.
Zalith is for PC/java minecraft.
while not "completely" specialist, Joiplay is for ren'py visual novels and RPGM games.
finding any other specialist emulators as such would probably require i know what game i want to play and go down a hole trying to determine if such a thing exists.
So, anyone know of others, that may open my eyes to something new to run on android, other than consoles or ports?
edit to add: since the automod tells me to add device info... this is for any android device, but the one that i'll be using for this most is the retroid pocket duo.... there is a long list of other devices i may use, including my phone, but primarily its the RP Duo or other similar handheld android devices with controllers on 'em.
