SNES games do not yet have a proper Chrome OS emulator, but there does exist an Android app called SNESDroid which can emulate the SNES platform. In this tutorial, we are going to teach you how to load up some emulators on your Chromebook and play the loved Nintendo games. These games have extremely minimal hardware requirements, but it can be argued that they are as entertaining as some of the best modern titles. Even with their low-end hardware, Chromebooks can still run old Nintendo favorites like Super Mario and Contra using emulators. The low-end hardware that most Chromebooks come with is nowhere close to enough for most modern games. One of the biggest downsides of having a Chromebook is the inability to get some proper gaming done.
