Doesn't Retroarch cover the whole "bsnes on mobile" thing?

Infelizmente não

OK people, please stop taunting the Android user.

As fast as bsnes is, it's still too intensive to give a good experience on mobile platforms. That said, I'm pretty sure RetroArch builds the bsnes core for Android, so you can try it out if you really, really want.

If somebody wants to make an Android version, my suggestion is to write a front-end for the libretro build, or use it as an example for how to use bsnes' internal emulation core API (which is basically the same as higan v106 and below, I believe). If it fits in neatly with the existing codebase and we can set up CI for it, we might take a PR, but I don't believe we'll ever get around to making an Android port ourselves.
