Features & Capabilities

Eight consoles from Game Boy to PlayStation. One purchase, no subscription, no ads. Your saves sync across devices with iCloud.

Retro Handheld turns your iPhone and iPad into a real retro gaming machine, and it plays the consoles most iPhone emulators leave out.

Start for free with the classic lineup: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, and Super NES. Unlock Nintendo 64, PlayStation, and Sega Genesis with one purchase — no subscription and no ads, ever.

PlayStation works the moment you import a game. OpenBIOS is bundled, so there is no BIOS file to hunt down and no setup to wade through. Every emulator core ships inside the app, ready to play.

BRING YOUR OWN GAMES

Retro Handheld does not include any games. You must own the original cartridge or disc to legally use game files with the app. Import your library from the Files app and keep it on your own device.

Built on proven open-source emulation cores, compiled and bundled so there is nothing extra to download before you play.
