Hey guys after learning how to play a Gameboy Advanced emulator on GearVR/Cardboard with PPSSPP I did a little bit more research. I discovered how to do the same with NES emulators.
You need:
PPSSPP (PSP emulator in Google Playstore)
NesterJ 1.13 emulator is available for download on PSP. NesterJ 1.13 is a Nintendo (NES) emulator by NesterJ that plays games for this console. We have all Nintendo emulator downloads on this site that work in the United States of America (USA) region.
NesterJ (The NES emulator for PSP)
If you want to use GearVR get something like this
Bluetooth Controller This is my controller
Steps:
Step 1
Download PPSSPP (PSP emulator in Google Playstore)
Step 2.
Download NesterJ
Step 3.
Make a folder for NesterJ you can just name is NesterJ
Step 4.
Open your file manager for your phone and locate PSP open it click GAMES and drag the NesterJ file in it.
Step 5.
Download a NES Rom(I'm not providing links). You can either make a new folder and name it ROMS or just drag it into the same file it doesn't matter where it is as long as you can access it.
Step 6.
If you haven't connect your bluetooth controller to your phone do so now.
Step 7.
Open up the PPSSPP app and go to Homebrew and Demos. Open Nester J
Step 8.
It will give you a load config fail. Just press the O button which for me is A. To avoid confusion and to see what buttons are what go to your go to settings, controls, and control mapping. You can also do this if you want to set controls. Whenever you boot it up and it asks to press O just press what you set as O.
Step 9.
Select your rom then when it loads press whatever is set for left analog.
Step. 10

Scroll down to key config and press A(or whatever O is/what you assigned it to. For some reason its the select button) P.S this key config is the NesterJ key config different from the PPSSPP config.
Step. 11
You can scroll through the controls with directional keys and change up,down,left,and right with analog. You can also change A and B buttons if you want.
Step 12.

You're almost done go back into PPSSPP (just press back button on your phone) and go to settings, graphics, and then scroll down to cardboard settings. Hit enable cardboard and set your screen size 85-90 is a good size.
Step 13.
Restart PPSSPP and boot the emulator. You should be able to play your NES rom with it. Yes the warning in the beginning of pressing b/o is normal.
Step 13.5
Roms For Nesterj
If the controls are strange for you. You can switch them in control mapping.
For example when I press the analog stick it looks strange, the dpad is movement also buttons a + b are switched. In that case I just go to PPSSPP controls, control mapping, and switch the controls of the dpad with the controls analog stick. Then I switch button o(b) with button x(a) to be o(a) and x(b)
I hope this helps also to get the best view press right two times. Pressing it anymore causes problems. I know this is long but eventually we might be able to play all the emulators on GearVR then people could build on it.
P.S this doesn't have headtracking the default google cardboard for PPSSPP doesn't have headtracking.
