New Controller For Cellphone Emulation!

Emulating Retro Games On Android!

Good day Hive Gamers! I hope your winter has been treating you well. I know it's frigid for most of Canada and the US, with February really kicking everyone when they're down. That's why you need some treats over the winter. My treat was a new controller to aide my retro gaming on my phone!

Like any gamer born in the 80's the first thing that must be played is Super Mario Kart. Anything else would be blasphemy. Okay, we can make a few exceptions. Several dozen in fact, but anything else... Blasphemy!

Because we live in the wonderful day and age of massive processors on mobile devices in our pockets, our phones are MORE than capable of running consoles like the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Sega Dreamcast, and possibly most popular, the PSP. With a fond memory of PlayStation 2 Grand Theft Auto titles, and a big love for the songs of the 1980's I had to get my hands on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. A double barrel shotgun blast from the past.

Chunky PS2 graphic and a control scheme foreign to modern day games await me as I get back into the swing of things in Vice City. The map is a heck of a lot smaller than I remember, but the gameplay is solid enough to forgive the flaws.

For a portable 2007 GTA experience, Vice City Stories is a wonderful addition to the series.

Now, you may be thinking 'Alright, you told us about some games and emulators, what about the controller?' Well, I want to play with it for the night to write up a real review for the unit. I've noticed some really nice things about it and in the short, super short, time I used it to make this article I've noticed some flaws that may have you considering a different device.

But, for a little bit of a spoiler, I will say that I feel confident placing their sticker on my Chromebook. A place of pride, for I am not one to take stickers lightly.
