## Description

PicoMaster is an easy to use Master System &amp; GameGear emulator for your Android device. It allows you to play backups of your favorite classic games, or explore new indie games developed for the console.<br><br>- Highly accurate. Emulation is based on the highly accurate GearGrafx core, so games play exactly as you expect.<br><br>- Uber-saves. Automatically save and resume your games at any point. Even if the game doesn&#39;t support saves. Now you can resume your games like you never put them down. Even if your battery dies.<br><br>- Touch optimized controls. A touch screen presents certain challenges versus physical controls. Certain techniques that are easy on a physical controller are hard on typical touch screens, such as rolling your thumb from B -&gt; A. We&#39;ve made sure the touch controls are just as effective as a real controller, making it possible to play even the most challenging games with the touch screen.<br><br>- Controller support. While touch controls are convenient for being built in, sometimes you want to hold a real controller. PicoMaster supports all popular controllers. If yours is not supported, send us an email and we&#39;ll do our best to make it work.<br><br>- Contribute to emulator development. The EmulationOnline team contributes to the state of the art of emulator development, both through research and education.<br>For an example of research, see our chiplab at https://chiplab.emulationonline.com/6502/<br>For an example of education, you can learn all about the NES at https://emulationonline.com/systems/nes/<br><br>- Play on your own schedule with automatic save / pause / resume.
