So, if you didn't know already, the mobile version of this game was designed with a VERY old phone OS in mind, and catastrophically fails at critical points, making the game basically unplayable. It's still for sale on the I/A stores, with a disclaimer that say's fixed.

My point is, I don't want to jail break my phone just to roll it back to Android 7.0, but I still love playing FF6 on my phone as I commute to and from work. Is there a good way to run a SNES emulator on androids, that isn't illegal?

Thank you!

No, emulators are not illegal. What is illegal is downloading rom files, even if you legally own the game cart. The only technically legal method of playing a game on an emulator is to buy the hardware needed to dump the rom yourself.

My personal recommendation is that once you have legally acquired a Game Boy Advance cartridge of Final Fantasy VI Advance and the cable and software needed to create a rom of the game you should apply the Sound Restoration hack to said rom and then play that version as it is the definitive version of the game. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/657/

I am not 100% sure if the font hack is compatable with the sound restoration hack but it's worth trying (it's been a while since I last played FF6). https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2916/

As for what emulator to use, I recommend RetroArch https://www.retroarch.com/

Just use Nesticles. The classic.
