Do you use any of these?

Do you know of any good ones for the computer and mobile? Good places to download emulators and roms?

Mostly from the 8-bit and 16-bit era.
The ones from ExPlusAlpha emulate stuff very flawlessly, though their GBA emulator is only for ARMv7+NEON (mid-2011 onwards) devices. FPSe is good since it runs PS1 games fast, and it works on old ARMv6 devices too. Android has got some NDS emulation, but an ARMv7 device is totally mandatory for it.

On my two-year-old ARMv6 smartphone, the SNES one is in the 40-50 fps range. While on my little sister's Cortex-A5 device it goes at 55 fps.
 
I used to go to a forum called Dgemu to get roms. Had a very big community, it was quite nice. No clue if it's still around tbh. I stopped playing roms a long long time ago.
 
I've used VisualBoyAdvance to play a number of GameBoy games. I've also used DOSBox to play games I used to be able to play without it (Rayman).
 
I have a game boy advance emulator on my andrioid phone. Have about 200 games currently.

My friend set it up for me on Sunday. :gamer:
 
NES games run at 60 fps on all ARMv7/v8 devices and some ARMv6 ones with 800Mhz or higher of power. But when I installed CM11 on my old SGA-i, the framespeed downgraded to 50-55 fps-ish, which is the average on iPod Touch 2G with jailbroken iOS 4.2.1. SNES took the worst part though; on stock GB it was running at 55 fps depending on the game, with CM11 almost all games average the 45-50 fps mark.

My current ARMv7 driver is on stock JB right now, all emus I've tested went at 60 fps except the N64 and Dreamcast emus, which average 50 fps depending on the game.

I have no idea what you just said... :explode:

Your device is ARMv7-based, right? Basic emulators like GBA, SNES and MegaDrive run at 60 fps and, if the CPU it uses is 4-core, the N64 and Dreamcast emus are included in the list. I checked the specs of your phone on GSMArena and it is powered by a quad-core MSM8926. Cortex-A7 based.
