Best emulators for Android
There are thousands and thousands of games made for Android devices. However, a humble Android phone or tablet can also be used as a little gaming time machine, to re-play the games of your youth with the help of emulator apps.
These create a virtual game console within your device, letting it play digital versions of classic games called ROMs. You won’t find any packaged with these emulators – you’ll have to find them separately.
Almost all the classic 90s consoles are emulated near-perfectly on Android at this point, from the original Gameboy to the Sony PlayStation. We’ve checked out emulators for all the main consoles and handhelds to find out the top emulator apps you should download today.
If you just want a quick dabble, also be sure to check out RetroArch. It’s a multi-system emulator that can handle many of the systems here, but won’t necessarily get you the performance of the dedicated emulators.
Price: £1.19
Available from Google Play
The N64 is one of the most sought-after consoles when it comes to emulation. There are loads of people out there who want to re-live their first experiences with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Mario 64.
Android emulation of the N64 is still a little patchy in places, but OpenGL support means you can see the game rendered at resolutions much higher than the actual N64 was capable of. That means no jagged edges in polygons.
There are lots of Android N64 emulators, but most are based on the same source: the Mupen PC emulator. So the differences are more about optimisation and features. The one we had the most luck with was SuperN64. You’ll see glitches in some games, but with a current mid-range phone you should be able to play most titles at full speed.
Price: Free

The SNES was home to some of the very best games of the 90s. It’s amusing that many modern games take up as much as 100,000 times as much data as a SNES classic. We’ll let you decide whether Super Mario World is actually more fun than generic shooter X in 2014.
There are a few paid options out there, but there’s also a perfectly good freebie: Snes9X EX Plus. While not quite as glitzy-looking as the paid-for SuperGnes, ROM support is excellent and we were able to play everything we tried at full speed on the Moto G.
This emulator offers scaling options, to make these old 16-bit games look a bit more as if they belong on our fancy high-res phones. They sharpen-up the visuals, but purists might not approve.

Sega Mega Drive emulation, or Genesis if you’re in the US, hasn’t had quite as much attention as its Nintendo arch-rival. Twenty years on, it seems Nintendo won that war.
There are a few decent Mega Drive Android emulators out there, although our top pick is not actually available on Google Play. Gensoid offers good performance and support, even though – like most other Mega Drive emulators – it hasn’t been updated in the last couple of years. Fingers crossed it’ll still work when Android Lollipop lands.
It offers reasonable controls, save/load states and fast forward, which just speeds up the action if you want to speed through a boring non-skippable cutscene.
Price: £2.92

GBA emulator My Boy! is one of the few emulation apps actually made by the people that produced the core emulator software – often it’s someone else’s work, with a new front-end and some extra features applied. In the end the difference is minimal, but might make your feel better about paying for the ‘full’ version.
Dabblers may well be happy with the free edition of My Boy!, though, which simply cuts back a few features. Upgrade to the full My Boy! and you get multiplayer, better save/load support and gyroscope support.
We found this to be one of the most impressive emulators of the lot, both for its good presentation and that the GBA’s relatively limited on-console controls make a better fit for a phone. You don’t have to worry about six face buttons, just two. Phew.
Price: Free

As the systems are so much less popular than the Mega Drive, it’s no wonder there are fewer Master System and Game Gear emulators out there. However, there is one that can handle both of these minor classics: Gearoid.
It’s available for free, and is made by Yongzh, one of the leading figures in the emulation scene. However, you won’t find it in Google Play or any of the main third-party app stores. You’ll need to side-load this one.
While not one of the highest-profile emulators, you still get plenty of extra features including physical controller support and save states.
Price: £3.75

One of the most recent systems that can be (mostly) successfully emulated by an Android is the Nintendo DS. Bless Nintendo for not really caring about graphics, or anything remotely high-end, hardware-wise.
Trying to fit the DS’s two screens onto one Android display comes with issues, but we didn’t actually find this emulator any fiddlier than the Sega Mega Drive or SNES. It’s remarkably playable, unless you try a game that demands lots of touchscreen and button action at the same time.
Unlike the other DS emulators, DraStic offers excellent performance too. We got full speed play with the Moto G in most games, and we imagine even humbler phones could hack it too.
Price: £2.38

The father of our best GBA pick, My Old Boy! plays Gameboy and GBC games. And just like the GBA emulator, it’s a cracker.
Not only are performance and the interface great, we also found that the games make the transition to your phone’s screen with real ease. It’s not hard to imagine why – the way you hold your phone in portrait is quite a lot like holding a Gameboy.
If you’ve turned your nose up at trying something as old as a Gameboy game, give one a try – they’re generally much less problematic control-wise than SNES ones.
Price: £2.27
Available from Google Play
The console that brought CD-based gaming to the masses (the TurboGrafx CD was nice, but no-one bought it), emulating PlayStation games requires quite a lot of storage. You’re not going to fit dozens on your phone’s internal memory, unlike the rival N64.
However, the relatively low power of the PlayStations internals means most current Android devices can handle the task of emulation pretty well.
There are two hero PlayStation emulators out there at present – FPse and ePSXe. Both cost a couple of pounds and neither offers a trial/demo version.
Which is better? Both are solid, offering good compatibility and performance. They both offer OpenGL support too, letting the phone render the game at a higher resolution than it would have originally been displayed. However, we’ll side with FPse as it was been updated very recently and offers an active forum online. ePSXe feels a bit stagnant in comparison.
Alternatively, RetroArch offers fairly good PS1 emulation for free.
Price: Free

The console that started it all for many, heading back to some of those NES classics will be like gorging on a nostalgia chocolate box. And several good NES emulators are available for free.
Our pick of the bunch is Nostalgia.NES, currently available in ad-supported form for free, or you can get rid of the ads for a mere £1.20. Much as we found with the Gameboy Advance and Gameboy, the two-button NES controller ports over fantastically to the touchscreen.
Nostalgia.NES offers some great features too, including OpenGL support to improve the graphics a little, light gun emulation, autosave, Wi-Fi multiplayer and game rewinding. Given NES games are often much harder than what we’re used to today, the latter is a nice extra.

The MAME project has been around for almost 20 years, and it’s a mammoth endeavour: to emulate every arcade machine. It’s evidence of what indie collaboration online is capable of.
There are two versions of the MAME emulator available on Google Play, one intended for lower-power devices, the other a little more demanding. Each supports a different ROM set. Through the decade-plus development of MAME, these different ROM sets have told you exactly which games are compatible or semi-compatible, at any time.
The higher-end version of Mame4droid supportsover 8000 ROM sets – over 8000 games, in other words. Feature support is excellent, with touchscreen light guns, external controller compatibility and various image filters.

best jokes
Three men, a philosopher, a mathematician and an idiot, were out riding in the car when it crashed into a tree. Before anyone knows it, the three men found themselves standing before the pearly gates of Heaven, where St. Peter and the Devil were standing nearby. "Gentlemen," the Devil started, "Due to the fact that Heaven is now overcrowded, St. Peter has agreed to limit the number of people entering Heaven. If anyone of you can ask me a question which I dont know or cannot answer, then youre worthy enough to go to Heaven; if not, then youll come with me to Hell." The philosopher then stepped up, "OK, give me the most comprehensive report on Socrates Socrates teachings." With a snap of his finger, a stack of paper appeared next to the Devil. The philosopher read it and concluded it was correct. "Then, go to Hell!" With another snap of his finger, the philosopher disappeared. The mathematician then asked,"Give me the most complicated formula ever theorized!" With a snap of his finger, another stack of paper appeared next to the Devil. The mathematician read it and reluctantly agreed it was correct. "Then, go to Hell!" With another snap of his finger, the mathematician disappeared too. The idiot then stepped forward and said, "Bring me a chair!" The Devil brought forward a chair. "Drill 7 holes on the seat." The Devil did just that. The idiot then sat on the chair and let out a very loud fart. Standing up, he asked, "Which hole did my fart come out from?" The Devil inspected the seat and said,"The third hole from the right." "Wrong," said the idiot, "its from my asshole." And the idiot went to heaven.
How to Find the Best iOS App Deals
Everyone loves a good discount when buying stuff and most of us check various websites to find the best deals when shopping for products online, so why should apps be any different? If youre looking for apps to go free so you can get them without using a debit card, or looking for deals and discounts because youre not sure an app is worth buying, there are a lot of different methods you can employ to get the best deals.
It might seem miserly to seek deals on apps considering that most apps sell for Rs. 60 or Rs. 120 - less than a cup of coffee in many places. But as some of the members of our team can attest, the small spends add up, and you could end up spending several thousand rupees over the course of a year. At that point, youre really going to wish youd looked for deals before making your purchases.
(Also see: Never Pay MRP: 3 Browser Extensions That Will Help You Save Money)
Well be bringing the best deals we can find to you every week, but in case you want to find deals yourself, heres what you need to know:
iOS
AppShopper
There are plenty of websites that show the best deals for iOS and Mac users, butAppShopper is our favourite, just ahead of 148apps. Between the two, we preferred AppShopper because its search is easier to customise, and lets you find apps according to category.
To see the discounts, you need only click on the "Price Drops" button in the top right. You can choose between iOS and Mac, or iPad only, iPhone only and Universal apps. You also have the option of searching for discounts and apps that have gone free, through simple toggles along the top bar.
In case you want to watch for price drops on favourite apps, then you can also sign up for AppShopper and add apps to your wishlist.
TouchArcade
Unlike AppShopper, which is mostly useful for finding deals, TouchArcade is a game focused site where youll get reviews and in-depth forum discussions about iOS games. Its a great way to also figure out what you should be downloading. The site also has a very useful app that lets you track sales on games as well. You can set it up with the following steps:
1. Download TouchArcade and open the app. Tap the gear icon on the top left > Watch List Updates > On > tap Done at the top.
2. Tap the search button on the top-right and search for your favourite games. Tap the game in the results. This will take you to Touch Arcades page for the game. Here, flip the binocular switch under the price. Now youll see the binoculars on a blue background. This means the game has been added to your watch list. Any time there is a price drop, or a review or an update to the games you added, youll get a notification. TouchArcade notifications dont come if you havent opened the app for several days, so just open it once every couple of days to keep it active.
AppPriceDrop
If you just want a simple list of apps that have gone on discount, then TouchArcade and AppShopper arent useful enough. Youll need to get either the Appsgonefree orAppPriceDrop apps.
AppsGoneFree updates once a day with a short list of apps on discount, sort of like the Yahoo News Digest of discounts. AppPriceDrop on the other hand shows a list of all apps that have gotten a discount, which can be sorted by category. It is based on the US app store, so while it should still be useful, it might sometimes show something as discounted, which isnt even available here.
IFTTT
IFTTT, short for If This Then That, is a great service that lets you automate several tasks. You can make it do several things, such as send you alerts when the currency exchange rate crosses a threshold, for you. It has a channel called AppZapp, which lets you track app deals for top-rated apps. Heres how to set it up.
1. Go to IFTTT > Create a Recipe.
2. Youll see this in huge font size: "if this then that". Click "this" > select AppZapp > scroll to the bottom > select one of six triggers.
3. Triggers are events that tell IFTTT to send you an alert. In the case of AppZapp, the triggers you can choose from are when a top-rated app goes on sale, goes free or gets an update. These three triggers are available for Apples App Store and Google Playstore. Pick the trigger you want to get relevant alerts, such as top app gone free.
4. Now choose your country, device and category of apps you want an alert for. Now click Create Recipe.
5. The next step will show you the same text you saw in step 2. Instead of "this", youll see the AppZapp icon. Now click on "that". This is where you select the kind of alerts you want. We recommend that you pick one of Email Digest, Android notifications and iOS notifications. This will send you one email every day or a quick notification on your smartphone. You need to install the IFTTT app on your phone to get this to work.
We found this to be the best method to keep an eye on apps on sale or apps that go free due to the notifications. You can tap these notifications, tap the alert in the IFTTT app and you will be redirected to the App Store. This method also works for Google Play, and in our next article well also point you to more resources you can browse when looking for deals on Android apps.

The best apps for the S Pen
If you are the lucky owner of a Samsung GALAXY Note II then you need to check out our video guide to the best apps to make the most of Samsungs innovative pressure sensitive S Pen.
The real beauty of the Samsung GALAXY Note II is the fact that it opens up a whole new world of apps that work even better with the S Pen. Check out the video above for a run through of our current favourite apps on the Google Play store that make the most of the S Pen.
If you want to create something really spectacular on your Note II, then an arty app is a good place to start. LayerPaint makes the creative process even easier by allowing you to work with different layers.
There are loads of handy tools available to help perfect your masterpiece, including brushes, bucket tool, gradation and hand tool.
Once youre happy with your creation, you can even export your work as a Photoshop file to pick up where you left off on your laptop or desktop computer.
An app thats essential for any keen photographers out there is Touch ReTouch. Using your S Pen, you can tweak and edit your GALAXY Note II photos in great detail quickly and easily. You can remove shadows, ghosts and flare, touch-up facial tone and even remove whole bridges and buildings from a background.
Then if youre unsure of the changes, theres an unlimited undo/redo feature and you always keep the original image resolution.
Maze Racer is hand drawn and looks beautiful. It was originally created for a Best S Pen app competition, so is perfect for the S Pen.
The aim is to draw a line from the word start to the word finish, with lots of obstacles getting in your way.
Youre even encouraged to draw your own levels and send them in – which is made infinitely better using the S Pen.
Angry Birds isnt an S Pen specific app, granted, but we reckon its even better to play with one. The precision of the S Pen is loads better than clumsy fingers and you can swipe your catapult across much faster too.
This time the eponymous Angry Birds and the enemy insolent swines find themselves floating in a strange new galaxy. But of course the games built on the same principles as before – launch your birds to destroy as many pigs as possible. This version has 140 levels to complete too, so should keep you busy.

The real beauty of the Samsung GALAXY Note II is the fact that it opens up a whole new world of apps that work even better with the S Pen. Check out the video above for a run through of our current favourite apps on the Google Play store that make the most of the S Pen.

Once youre happy with your creation, you can even export your work as a Photoshop file to pick up where you left off on your laptop or desktop computer.
Touch ReTouch HD

Then if youre unsure of the changes, theres an unlimited undo/redo feature and you always keep the original image resolution.
Maze Racer
FreeMaze Racer is hand drawn and looks beautiful. It was originally created for a Best S Pen app competition, so is perfect for the S Pen.

Best PDF Reader Apps for Android Both Free and Paid Apps
Below is a list of the best free and paid PDF Reader apps for Android. It turns out finding a good Android PDF reader is harder than it sounds.
Running a search for “PDF Reader” or “PDF Viewer” in the Android Market turns up hundreds of results, and finding one that has all the features you’re looking for can take a lot of time and research, especially when the search results seem list anything with the word PDF in the title or description.
This list isn’t by any means all the PDF Reader apps for Android, just the best ones I’ve tried over the past year on various Android tablets, and even on the rooted Nook Touch ebook reader. Feel free to add your own PDF Reader app suggestions in the comments section below.
I’ve included links to the Android Market so that you can jump over and read the reviews and download them if you want, along with the Amazon Appstore when available. You can probably find most of them at other app stores like SlideMe and GetJar too, and websites that host apk files like Freeware Lovers.
Adobe Reader – This app used to be really basic until Adobe updated it, and it’s now one of the best PDF apps for Android. For features it has search, text re-flow with variable font sizes, pinch zooming, on-screen markup, notes, highlights, a sharing feature for sending the file to email or another app like Google Docs or Dropbox, and more. Free at Android Market and Amazon.
EBookDroid – This is a nice basic PDF viewer that is a little smoother and quicker than some of the other free apps. It has pinch zooming, a zoom dial, go-to-page with location slider, table of contents, night mode, option for 2 page landscape, and a few other misc settings. Free at Android Market.
Aldiko Book Reader – Aldiko is more of an ePub reading app, but they added support for PDF files awhile back and it does a serviceable job displaying PDFs. It doesn’t have any advanced features like it does with ebooks, just search, table of contents, pinch-zooming, and go to page. It has on-screen functions for copying, sharing, and looking up words in the dictionary, but with PDFs this feature tends to have a hard time detecting the beginning and ending of a word properly. Free at Android Market and Amazon.
Bluefire Reader – Like Aldiko, Bluefire is more of an ePub reader but serves as a decent PDF viewer as well. For features it has table of contents, a page slider, night mode, pinch zooming, and different page turn settings. Sometimes you can bring up the on-screen functions for copying text and adding bookmarks, which double as highlights and text notes, but this doesn’t always seem to work with PDFs. You can still add bookmarks and notes to individual pages, though, so that makes it the best option as a free app for notes and bookmarks. Free at Android Market.
APV PDF Viewer – A decent free PDF viewing app with on-screen zooming icons and different zoom settings, go-to-page, you can change to various text and background colors, search, and some other advanced settings. Free at Android Market.
ezPDF Reader – Whether it be a tablet or a hacked Nook Touch, ezPDF is my PDF Reader app of choice, and it’s the most popular paid PDF app for Android. It has a ton of features, including text re-flow, fit text to column, pinch zooming, text-to-speech, play embedded video and audio, active hyperlinks, thumbnail view, bookmarks, add notes, highlights, on-screen annotations, and plenty more. Costs $1.99 at Android Market and Amazon.
RepliGo Reader – I haven’t used this app personally but have heard good things about it. Plus it seems to be the most popular and well-rated paid PDF Reader app aside from ezPDF Reader. Has lots of features, especially when it comes to annotating: Add highlights, cross outs, underlines, sticky notes, arrows, lines, ovals, rectangles, freehand drawings and text boxes. Integrates with Gmail, Dropbox, and Evernote. Costs $4.99 at Android Market and Amazon.
Mantano Reader – I briefly tried the free trial version of this app and it has a fair amount of PDF features. It’s kind of expensive, though, so make sure to try the trial version first. PDF features include pinch zooming, margin removal, adjustment to one column for multi-column documents, TOC, word selection with a long press, copy, TTS, dictionary, search, add notes, highlights, bookmarks, on-screen scribbles. Costs $7.49 at Android Market and Amazon.
