Description

Turn your Android phone or tablet into a pocket retro console. This GBA emulator runs Game Boy Advance titles at full speed and brings 23 more classic systems along with it — with save states, cheat codes, gamepad input and Google Drive cloud saves.

You bring the game files. The emulator does everything else.

▸ 24 CLASSIC SYSTEMS IN ONE APP
A GBA emulator first, but also a full NES emulator, SNES emulator, N64 emulator, PSX emulator, PSP emulator, Nintendo DS emulator, Sega Genesis and Mega Drive emulator, Sega CD, Master System, Game Gear, Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16, Neo Geo Pocket and Color, WonderSwan and Color, FinalBurn Neo and MAME arcade emulator, plus MS-DOS.

Every system runs on a proven libretro core — mGBA, Snes9x, Mupen64Plus-Next, PPSSPP, melonDS, Genesis Plus GX — so timing and compatibility match what you remember.

▸ SAVE ANYWHERE, PICK UP ANYWHERE
• Save states with multiple slots and autosave
• Quick Save and Quick Load right on the game overlay
• Rewind to step back a few seconds after a bad jump
• Cloud save backup to your own Google Drive, with conflict resolution when two devices disagree
• Export and import save files to move a playthrough between phones

▸ CHEAT CODES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
A built-in cheat database plus manual entry for GameShark and CodeBreaker codes. Toggle codes mid-run without restarting the game.

▸ CONTROLS BUILT FOR A TOUCHSCREEN
• Customisable on-screen pad — reposition, resize, set opacity
• Haptic feedback and controller rumble
• Bluetooth and USB OTG gamepad support, with per-device button mapping and a controller test screen
• Tilt-to-stick for cartridges that shipped with a motion sensor
• Solar sensor emulation for the games that needed real sunlight

▸ MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOURS
More than 50 themes and controller skins, from clean modern layouts to faithful handheld shells. Portrait and landscape layouts, full-screen mode, and a screenshot gallery you can share straight from.

▸ TUNE THE PICTURE AND THE PACE
HD upscaling, screen filters, colour correction and LCD/CRT display simulation. Fast-forward up to 16x, slow motion for the precise bits, frame-rate targets, and an on-screen performance readout.

▸ KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PLAY
Play history, playtime statistics, streaks, achievements, challenges and seasonal events — a light layer of progression on top of the games you already love.

▸ PLAYS OFFLINE
Once your files are on the device, no connection is needed to play.

▸ ABOUT GAME FILES
This GBA emulator does not include, host or supply commercial game software, and it never will. Load files you created yourself or dumped from cartridges you legally own. Sega CD and Atari Lynx additionally need their original BIOS files, which you also have to provide.

▸ SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES
The app is supported by advertising. An optional Premium subscription removes ads and unlocks cheats, rewind, HD mode, unlimited save slots, cloud save, tilt controls and the full theme library. A one-time Lifetime purchase is available as well. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel any time in Google Play > Subscriptions.

▸ WHAT YOU NEED
Android 6.0 or newer. Performance on N64, PSP and DS depends on your hardware.

▸ PRIVACY
We use Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring to find crashes and understand which features get used. No account is needed to play; Google sign-in is requested only if you turn on cloud save. See the in-app Privacy Policy.

▸ TRADEMARKS
This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Atari, SNK or any other rights holder. All names above are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe hardware compatibility.

Whether you are replaying a childhood favourite or meeting the library for the first time, this GBA emulator keeps all of it in one place.

You have a wide variety of video games to choose from I'm really impressed by the number of video games that you can play RPG to action I remember renting video games when I was a kid and playing these video games makes me relive my childhood

★☆☆☆☆ Brian Booze · May 20, 2026

The emulator works well, but it won't go into landscape mode. Which cramped my hands horribly trying to hold a tiny phone upright for more than a few minutes of play. As a full-grown man, I sat there with my elbows at my gut to have my hands close enough to touch the keypads at the very bottom. Even my actual GBA has a bigger base then a cell phone, so it just ruined the mood to use it. And even if using a game pad for it, it won't go into landscape mode even when I enable it on the game.

★☆☆☆☆ James Leos · Aug 6, 2026

App was working so great for about 3 days. I downloaded it just to play some old school Pokémon. I got so close to beating Pokémon gold then it crashes out of nowhere. No big deal until I rebooted, and it loaded a random az save from the beginning! All my lvl 28-32 Pokémon are now lvl 8-11! I'm pissed and uninstalling. Don't waste your time with this app unless ur just playing to play don't care about progression.

★☆☆☆☆ Infinity · Apr 30, 2026

I really wanted this app to work! The startup looked solid and smooth. Use tokens to download some Final Fantasy SNES games, however they NEVER uploaded? They downloaded to my phone, and then I clicked play where a second core in-game downloaded happened and NOTHING!? Left with a blank screen for 45 seconds followed with an error message. I followed several steps to resolve the issue with no luck...LAME!!!
