Flash Cyanogenmod... gets rid of bloatware and more customizable (EG overclock helps for some emus)
Don't buy an S3. It's cool when you get it, but after a year you'll be wishing you had another phone. It's cheap plastic, a cheap screen, and a terrible battery rolled together and called "the next big thing".

Whatever you say
Ive had it for about 2 years now and never had a problem
Not exactly sure how an Super AMOLED screen is "cheap" either
It's gone OT but what the hell... I have had an S3 going on 3 years now. It is a solid phone that outperforms other devices of its time (and many since then). The design might seem a little fragile but take a look at physical stress testsof it vs say the iPhone 4 or 5. The battery life is on par with many phones of similar specs. Just like any other phone -- more apps running in the background == more drain. Fortunately, ZeroLemon makes amazing batteries for Galaxys. I have the 7000mAh one for S3 which is a no-brainer to get @ 40USD.

Well maybe i just got a shitty one.
Screen cracked after a 3 foot drop, colors are very washed out.
Guess I'm kinda taking my own experience and applying it to everyone, aren't I. Oh well, I do it all the time.
No you are wrong, the s3 and note ii have gorilla glass, not sure where you got that idea that the screen is cheap, it has a amoled display too, i also don't wish i had another phone, i like my note ii a lot thanks.
I've dropped my phone on hard floor & concrete and the screen is still good, maybe i got lucky who knows.
Galaxy Note 2, RetroArch is ze best. That + SixAxis + SixAxis controller is awesome. I normally use Wii + WiiFlow for emulation however.
Fixed that for you.
You should upgrade from 4.1.2 to a 4.4.2 official ROM, lots quicker.
Galaxy Tab 3 here, using RetroArch, most stuff runs fine besides a few GBA games when I got stuff on the background, I would recommend using it with a Custom Android, since Samsung stuff is filled with bloatware running on the background :/ (I would love some recommendations on Custom Android )
Ugh, how can you guys tolerate the super-crappy UI of RetroArch? It's seriously one of the worst I've ever used on Android. EVER.Galaxy Note 2, RetroArch is ze best. That + Wiimote is awesome. I normally use Wii + WiiFlow for emulation however.

I honestly hate to emulate old school games on me S4.
I can't handle the touch screen controls.
I did try N64 OOT and NES LoZ.
But eh, I just can't be fucked with it.
There's a reason everyone here talks about using controllers
If you have a PS3 controller, you can sync it up via bluetooth just fine with SixAxis Controller.

Well, that, or Use an Xperia PLAY to not worry about controllers, since the phone itself it's a controller!!!
of course, since it's old and that, I can only play properly the SNES emulator and surprisingly, the Play Station 1 emulator but nothing else fancy.
Gawd, I hope squarepusher doesn't read that (it's true though)Ugh, how can you guys tolerate the super-crappy UI of RetroArch? It's seriously one of the worst I've ever used on Android. EVER.
It's like they've hurriedly slapped a bog-standard Android UI on RetroArch's internal UI which is made for _physical_ controller - Oh wait, that's EXACTLY what they did!
Also, all the dedicated emus are a LOT more customizable than the various RetroArch's cores. Gotta admit that RetroArch has got the most accurate cores out there. I have it installed only for that reason.
Picodrive, higan, PCSX ReARMed, ... You name it. That makes it even worse that the devs didn't care to give it a DECENT UI.
...or he could just buy a $20 clip http://buy.thegameklip.com/ and be done with it. Simple, cheap, easy.
