Can you convert NES to APK?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert NES to APK?
No - not a direct conversion.

The DB's only pair (nes->apk, software_count 2) is bogus. A .nes ROM is not an Android app and cannot 'become' an APK. What those tools actually do is BUNDLE the ROM with an emulator into a standalone APK (e.g. building a RetroArch/emulator app preloaded with the game) - that's packaging an emulator, not converting the ROM. To play on Android, just load the .nes in RetroArch or an NES emulator app.
