What's New in emu

1.7

November 4, 2026

• Bring your saves over from a PC emulator. In the Library, open a game's ••• menu, choose Save Data and pick the file in the Files app to carry on where you left off. Battery saves, memory cards, save folders and ZIP archives work on most systems. • Export a save from the same screen, in the formats PC emulators commonly use. • Any save an import replaces is backed up first, and Undo Last Import puts it back.

Fix this app

Could make this app run any retro games as it prompts to but right now the games fail.

Great emulator but

This emulator is really good and supports a lot of consoles (especially Xbox) that other emulators forces you to pay but there isn’t enough option so you can’t squeeze out that extra performance and tweak the graphics to stop flickering, especially in GTA three hopefully this gets added, but otherwise this is a hidden gem.

FAQ

Does emu have ads?

emu is ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted gaming experience. This means you won't encounter any advertisements while playing your favorite classic titles.

What game systems does emu support?

emu supports a wide range of systems including NES, SNES, Game Boy/Color, Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, PC Engine, WonderSwan, Nintendo 64, GameCube, PlayStation 2, PSP, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Game Boy Advance, Neo Geo Pocket, and Xbox. Support for some newer systems like GameCube and PS2 is experimental.

How do I add games to emu?

Adding games is a simple three-step process. Pick a backup of a game you own from the Files app, and the system is automatically identified. Then, tap it in your library to play. Files can be in ZIP or 7z archives, and CUE/BIN pairs are supported.

Can I play with a controller on emu?

Yes, emu supports any Bluetooth or USB controller. Buttons are mapped by position, ensuring compatibility with different controllers. You can also reassign buttons and tune stick dead zones, while touch input remains active.

Does emu have multiplayer?

Yes, emu supports two-player games on two iPhones, either locally or online. One player hosts, and the other joins with a code. The player joining does not need a copy of the game. Gameplay is direct between devices and does not go through a server.

How does emu handle saves?

emu automatically saves your progress every 30 seconds and again when you leave the player. It also offers in-game and memory-card saves. The REWIND feature allows you to roll back the last few seconds of gameplay for another attempt at difficult sections.

Is emu suitable for younger players?

emu is rated for ages 4 and up, making it accessible for a wide audience. The app itself does not bundle any games or BIOS files, and users are required to provide their own legally owned game backups.
