PlayStation Portable (PSP)

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a handheld game console made by Sony. Development of the console was announced during E3 2003, and it was unveiled on May 11, 2004, at a Sony press conference before E3 2004. The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004.

The PlayStation Portable is the only handheld video game console to use an optical disc format, Universal Media Disc (UMD), as its primary storage medium. Other distinguishing features of the console include its large viewing screen, robust multi-media capabilities, and connectivity with the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, other PSPs and the Internet.

Sega Genesis (Mega Drive)

The Sega Genesis is a home video game console released on October 29, 1988 by Sega as the Mega Drive, the name it is known as outside North America. The reason for the two names is that Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in North America. As a fourth-generation console, the Sega Genesis is Sega's third console and the successor to the Sega Master System with which it has backward compatibility when the separately sold Power Base Converter is installed.

The console and its games continue to be popular among fans, collectors, video game music fans, retro gamers, emulation enthusiasts and the fan translation scene. Licensed 3rd party variations of the console are still being produced to this day, and there are also several indie game developers continuing to produce games for the console. (Wikipedia)

MD.emu (MDemu) (purchase - Download from mobilism.org)

For a more feature-packed Genesis/Megadrive emulator, try Robert Broglia's MD.emu, a paid emulator that covers the Genesis/MegaDrive, as well as the Master System and Sega CD. Besides the basics (save state, fast forward, etc.), MD.emu is packed with loads of extra features for emulating the various Sega consoles, including six-button controller support, four-player multitap, Menacer and Justifier gun controller emulation, and more.
Verdict: While some users will balk at having to pay for a retrogaming emulator, MD.emu truly has the feel of a polished and configurable app. If you're really into Sega console emulation on mobile, MD.emu is a highly recommended option.

Gensoid (purchase - Download from mobilism.org)

SEGA Genesis/MegaDrive emulator for Android. Forget the 360 versus PS3 scuffles seen today. Back in the '90s nothing was more hotly contested in school playgrounds than the rivalry between the SNES and the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in the US). Both consoles had 16-bits of memory and could play solid arcade conversions, but one had mushroom-gobbling Super Mario and the other had speed demon Sonic The Hedgehog. It was a tricky call.
Just as simple to get running as its Nintendo equivalent, Gensoid is another solid performer with exactly the same tweaks and options nestled in the menus. Sonic 2, a personal favourite, runs beautifully and the addition of a 'save anywhere' function takes the edge off having to complete the game in one go (unbelievably, the Mega Drive had no 'save' function).
However, unlike in SNESoid, minor graphical glitches abound. The sprites have boxes around them in Afterburner 2, for example, and there are some graphical artefacts in OutRun. Even so, Gensoid is a solid piece of software – especially for platformers like Sonic.
A good free Genesis/MegaDrive emulator that's easy to use, while also providing extras like multiplayer.

Sega Game Gear

The Sega Game Gear was an 8-bit handheld game console released by Sega on October 6, 1990 in Japan. As part of the fourth generation of gaming, the Game Gear primarily competed with Nintendo's Game Boy, the Atari Lynx and NEC's TurboExpress. With 11 million units sold, the Game Gear was on a solid second place, but very much behind the Game Boy.

The Game Gear was succeeded by the Sega Nomad in 1995, and was discontinued on April 30, 1997.

Sega Master System

The Master System, often called the Sega Master System or SMS, is a third-generation video game console that was manufactured and released by Sega in 1985 in Japan (as the Sega Mark III). The original Master System could play both cartridges and the credit card-sized "Sega Cards," which retailed for cheaper prices than cartridges but had lower storage capacity. The Master System also featured accessories such as a light gun and 3D glasses which were designed to work with a range of specially coded games.

The Master System was released as a direct competitor to the Nintendo Entertainment System in the third videogame generation. The Master System was technically superior to the NES, which predated its release by nine months in North America, but failed to overturn Nintendo's significant market share advantage in Japan and North America.

Super Nintendo (SNES) (Super Famicom)

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (also known as the Super NES, SNES or Super Nintendo) is a 16-bit video game console that was released in 1990 by Nintendo in Japan. In Japan, the system is called the Super Famicom, officially adopting the abbreviated name of its predecessor, the Family Computer), or SFC for short. In South Korea, it is known as the Super Comboy and was distributed by Hyundai Electronics. Although each version is essentially the same, several forms of regional lockout prevent the different versions from being compatible with one another.

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is Nintendo's second home console, following the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The console introduced advanced graphics and sound capabilities compared with other consoles at the time. Additionally, development of a variety of enhancement chips (which were integrated on game circuit boards) helped to keep it competitive in the marketplace. Via the Super FX chip, the SNES was able to run the first three-dimensional video games on consoles, beginning with Star Fox. (Wikipedia)

TurboGrafx-16 (T16) (PC Engine)

TurboGrafx-16, fully titled as TurboGrafx-16 Entertainment SuperSystem and known in Japan as the PC Engine, is a video game console developed by Hudson Soft and NEC, released in Japan on October 30. It was the first entry of the fourth generation of gaming, and primarily competed with the soon-to-be-released Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and the Neo Geo AES.

ZX Spectrum

The ZX Spectrum (pronounced "Zed-Ex") is an 8-bit personal home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd.

Referred to during development as the ZX81 Colour and ZX82, the machine was launched as the ZX Spectrum by Sinclair to highlight the machine's colour display, compared with the black-and-white of its predecessor, the ZX81. The Spectrum was ultimately released as eight different models, ranging from the entry level model with 16 kB RAM released in 1982 to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 kB RAM and built in floppy disk drive in 1987; together they sold in excess of 5 million units worldwide (not counting numerous clones).

The Commodore 64, Oric-1 and Atmos, BBC Microcomputer and later the Amstrad CPC range were major rivals to the Spectrum in the UK market during the early 1980s. Over 24,000 software titles have been released since the Spectrum's launch and new titles continue to be released, with over 100 new ones in 2012.(Wikipedia)

Marvin - ZX Spectrum Emulator (purchase - Download from mobilism.org)

Back in the '80s, home consoles like the NES were expensive pipe dreams for many gamers, so gaming kicks had to be found via inexpensive home computers like the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Cheap to buy and develop for, it was a bedroom coder's delight, and – despite its paltry 48K of memory – some of the most inventive, influential, and wacky titles ever were created for the ZX. Think 3D Deathchase, Head over Heels, Manic Miner, and Jet Set Willy for starters.
Best of all, Android Speccy emulator Marvin is an absolute joy to use. An on-screen keyboard is the spitting image of the rubbery-keyed Kempston original in portrait mode. Flip to landscape and a one button joystick appears, although the hardcore gamers (read masochists) can stick with keyboard controls.
It all works well, but the real treat is the direct internet connection to ‘World of Spectrum’ - an online resource packed with seemingly the entire ZX back catalogue. It’s a veritable British Museum of 8-bit history.
As the developer notes, the emulator works best on true multi-touch devices, but tweaks for most handsets are still underway, and many games run well regardless.

Nintendo Entertainment System (Nes) (Nintendo) (Famicom)

The Nintendo Entertainment System (also abbreviated as NES or simply called Nintendo) is an 8-bit video game console that was released by Nintendo in North America during 1985. In Japan (where it was first launched in 1983), it was released as the Family Computer, commonly shortened as either the Famicom, or abbreviated to FC. In South Korea, it was known as the Hyundai Comboy and was distributed by SK Hynix which then was known as Hyundai Electronics. It was succeeded by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The best-selling gaming console of its time, the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983, and set the standard for subsequent consoles of its generation. With the NES, Nintendo introduced a now-standard business model of licensing third-party developers, authorizing them to produce and distribute software for Nintendo's platform. (Wikipedia)

NESoid (purchase - Download from mobilism.org)

Moving back a generation, and subtracting eight bits of power, we now move to a console that truly changed the world: the NES. It’s the machine that first brought us Mario Bros. (previously the titular plumber was known as ‘Jump Man’ and only seen leaping over barrels hurled by Donkey Kong) and The Legend of Zelda, plus stacks of other classics.
While the chunky-pixelled visuals of the aforementioned games are primitive, the gameplay, level design, and chip-tune audio still impress nearly a quarter of a century later. And as they require less processing power to emulate, performance is solid throughout and requires almost no menu tampering. The options are still there, though, and for some titles - such as early fighter Punch Out! - an essential ‘Accurate Rendering’ option can be checked to ensure they open.
A dependable open source NES emulator with good compatibility and features, and multiplayer to boot.

The development of the Mega-CD was confidential; game developers were not made aware of what exactly they were working on until the add-on was finally revealed at the Tokyo Toy Show in Japan. The Mega-CD was designed to compete with the PC Engine CD (TurboGrafx-16 CD) in Japan, which had a separate CD-ROM drive. (Wikipedia)

The Sega Saturn is a 32-bit fifth-generation video game console that was first released by Sega on November 22, 1994 in Japan. The Saturn sold 9.4 million units worldwide. While its installed base in the United States ended at 2 million, its installed base in Japan was more than 6 million units. While it was popular in Japan, the Saturn failed to gain a similar market share in North America and Europe against its main competitors: Sony's PlayStation and later the Nintendo 64.

In 2009, video game website IGN chose the Saturn to be their 18th best video game console of all time, out of their list of 25. (Wikipedia)

Like the Nintendo DS emulator talked about elsewhere, this Saturn app is still a work in progress. Sega's penultimate system is notoriously difficult to emulate, so don't expect silky smooth performance any time soon. Or simple installation, for that matter. This app requires a huge setup process with extra downloads and tweaks. Sorry, guys, we didn't bother to make that tremendous effort. No one needs to play NiGHTS into Dreams THAT much.

Saturn.emu (purchase - Download from mobilism.org)

If you’d have asked me about emulating the Saturn on the Android, I’d have laughed at you. Saturn is infamously demanding to emulate because of its complex architecture, and there are very few viable options, even on the PC. But earlier this year Yabause, the lone open-source Saturn emu capable of running commercial games, made its way to the Android, and Robert Broglia built on this code base further with Saturn.emu. Sure, it’s too slow to be worth playing right now, and the compatibility is even lower than the PC version, but it’s not hard to imagine this becoming playable on high-end handsets in the next year or so.

Atari 2600 (Atari VCS)

The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in September 1977 by Atari, Inc. It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and ROM cartridges containing game code, instead of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all games built in. The first game console to use this format was the Fairchild Channel F; however, the Atari 2600 receives credit for making the plug-in concept popular among the game-playing public.

The console was originally sold as the Atari VCS, for Video Computer System. Following the release of the Atari 5200, in 1982, the VCS was renamed "Atari 2600", after the unit's Atari part number, CX2600. The 2600 was typically bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a cartridge game—initially Combat and later Pac-Man.[6](Wikipedia)

Otherwise, this is a standard emulator. It has lots of audio and video tweaks, customisable controls, (including Xperia Play and Bluetooth devices), and save states.

Atardroid (purchase - request)

Finally, we come to the granddaddy of them all - the Atari 2600. It was the first mainstream console, and nestled under more than 30 million wood-panelled TVs worldwide. More than 7 million games were sold for the device, with essential ports of coin-guzzling arcade hits Pac-Man and Space Invaders sitting alongside utterly abysmal movie tie-ins able to almost cause the death of the entire industry (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial).
The virtual D-pad and single button controls work beautifully, and you can save wherever you want – a luxury owners of the original console would likely have bitten their spare arm off for.
If you never had a chance before to see where home video gaming began, it’s an unmissable opportunity.

Atari 1040 STF

The Atari ST is a home computer released by Atari Corporation in June 1985. Development machines were distributed around May 1985 and it was available commercially from that summer into the early 1990s. The "ST" officially stands for "Sixteen/Thirty-two", which referred to the Motorola 68000's 16-bit external bus and 32-bit internals. Due to its graphical user inferface, it was jokingly referred to as the "Jackintosh", a reference to Jack Tramiel.

Atari later upgraded the basic design in 1986 with the 1040STF (also written STF). The machine was generally similar to the earlier 520ST, but moved the power supply and a double-sided floppy drive into the rear of the housing of the computer, as opposed to being external. This added to the size of the machine, but reduced cable clutter in the back. However, the joystick/mouse ports, formerly on the right side of the machine where the disk now sat, had to be moved to an awkward location in a cramped niche underneath the keyboard.(Wikipedia)

Atari Lynx

The Atari Lynx is a 16-bit handheld game console that was released by Atari Corporation in September 1989. The Lynx holds the distinction of being the world's first handheld electronic game with a color LCD. The system is also notable for its forward-looking features, advanced graphics, and ambidextrous layout. As part of the fourth generation of gaming, the Lynx competed with Nintendo's Game Boy (released just a month earlier), the Sega Game Gear, and NEC's TurboExpress, both released the following year. However, the Game Boy in particular, as well as the Sega Game Gear, outsold the Lynx. Atari failed to achieve the sale numbers required to attract quality third party developers and the Lynx was eventually abandoned.

Today, as with many older consoles, there is still a small group of devoted fans, creating and selling games for the system(Wikipedia)

Emulators for Android:

The Lynx has always been plagued by a lack of quality emulators, with the utterly ancient Handy serving as the lone stand-alone emulator worth bothering with. It’s no surprise, then, that aLynx is based on that decade-old code, and at first it left a lot to be desired. But aLynx continues to update with much improved controls. There’s a free version for those on the fence and the Lynx’s unique library is well worth taking with you.

Neo Geo Pocket Color (NGPC)

The Neo Geo Pocket Color (shortened NGPC), is a 16-bit colour handheld video game console manufactured by SNK. It is a successor to SNK's monochrome Neo Geo Pocket handheld which debuted in 1998 in Japan. The Neo Geo Pocket Color was released on March 16, 1999 in Japan, August 6, 1999 in North America, and some time in 1999 in Europe.

The Neo Geo Pocket Color was SNK's last video game console, and is backwards compatible with the Neo Geo Pocket. In 2000, following SNK's purchase by American pachinko manufacturer Aruze, the Neo Geo Pocket Color was dropped from both the North American and European markets. It did, however, last until 2001 in Japan, with a total of 2 million units sold.(Wikipedia)

SNK's clicky-stick handheld didn't do well at retail, and calling its software library "slim" would be the understatement of the year. But, it did carry some truly great fighters and cut-down arcade games in its short life.
