## What is Nova Retro?

Nova Retro is a multi-system console emulator covering six classic systems in one app:

• FC / NES
• SFC / SNES
• Game Boy
• Game Boy Color
• Game Boy Advance
• Genesis / Mega Drive

【Bring Your Own Games】
Nova Retro includes no games and offers no downloads. Import game files that you legally own from Files or Finder.

【Made to Play】
• Save states: four manual slots plus an automatic slot
• Cheats: saved per game and easy to toggle
• Fast-forward for long dialogue and repeated sections
• Touch controls adapted to each system, with adjustable position, opacity, and haptics
• Keyboard and controller support with per-system mappings for up to four players
• FPS display, output-resolution options, and adaptive or pixel-aligned scaling
• NES turbo A/B input on touch controls, keyboards, and controllers

【Nine Languages】
Use Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, French, or German. Switching takes effect immediately across open windows without interrupting a running game.

【Native Apple Experiences】
• iPhone / iPad: separate portrait and landscape layouts, configurable library swipe actions, and long-press rename or delete
• Mac: menus, shortcuts, multiple game windows, Finder drag-and-drop, and library context-menu actions

【Nothing Collected】
There are no accounts, sign-in, analytics, ads, or tracking. Games, saves, and settings stay on your device and never leave it.
Optional one-time support is available inside the app. It is entirely voluntary and unlocks no features; payment is handled by the App Store, and Nova Retro never sees or stores any payment information.
