What's New in Retro Pal

1.3.5

November 4, 2026

The Nintendo 3DS • Nintendo 3DS games play in Retro Pal now, free for everyone: both screens, the touch screen, the circle pad, and the C-stick of the New 3DS on a controller's right stick. • Saves, save states, rewind and official box art work from the first day. Games that use the camera, the microphone or motion use your phone's. • Cheat codes and custom skins for the 3DS with Pro, as on every console. • RetroAchievements does not support any 3DS game, so 3DS games have no achievements. Retro story • Your story as a gamer on one page: the time you played, your most played games, your consoles in a ring, and your days of play. Your history is kept on each device and follows you through iCloud. • Badges mark the steps of your story, from your first game to a thousand hours. When you earn one, it is announced at the top of the screen, with its own sound. • Every December, your year in review: a few screens to swipe through, each one ready to share as an image. Look and controls • The Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Super Nintendo and NES now have a real moulded D-pad, shaped like the console's own. • Classic now has the same library as the other looks, on its plain black ground. • The RetroAchievements page is clearer: your profile and your latest achievements first, then your games, and a tap opens a game's page. • On iPad, every console's D-pad and buttons now sit low against the edges, where your thumbs rest. Also • Import games from .7z, .rar, .tar, .gz and .xz archives, not only from .zip. • PlayStation and PSP games import more reliably: disc files whose names differ in case, ZIP archives over 4 GB, and the real name of a PSP game from its EBOOT. • A PSP game that crashes in the emulator now says so, instead of freezing. • iOS Game Mode turns on when you play, for less delay on Bluetooth controllers and AirPods. • Deleting a game from the library asks first. • On a keyboard, 1 and 2 press the second pair of shoulder buttons: ZL and ZR on the 3DS, L2 and R2 on the PlayStation, Z on the Nintendo 64. • Super Nintendo, NES, Master System and Game Gear games with an accented or Japanese name now keep their in-game saves.

まさに理想の神アプリ!!!!

これぞまさに、「こんなアプリがあればいいな」を体現した、万能エミュレータアプリ!!
より使いやすいような細かいところの工夫(セーブデータの同期など)の機能も搭載していて、本当に最高です。
iPhoneをテレビに繋ぐだけで、どんなゲームも手元のBluetoothコントローラで遊べてしまう。。こんな夢のようなことが実現してしまっていることに驚きを隠せません。作っていただき本当にありがとうございます!
対応機種も増え続けていて、今後の進化が楽しみで仕方ありません!

フルスクリーンに出来ない・誤動作が発生する

いろんなシステムを一つのアプリで起動出来たり、買い切りのオプションがあります。
以下に不満な点を記しておきます。
フルスクリーンに出来ない・操作中に誤動作(動画のスクリーンショットが起動)するのは、本当にいただけない無駄な機能です。
融通性があると評価を高められるけれど。

Response from developer

ご意見ありがとうございます。 全画面表示について:方法は2つあります。コントローラーを接続すると、タッチ操作のボタンが消えてゲーム画面がその分大きく表示されます(無料)。また Retro Pal Pro のカスタム配置では、画面の大きさと位置を自由に変えられます。 クリップ(動画のスクリーンショット)が勝手に起動する件:スティックに指を置いたまま別のボタンを押したとき、その指がクリップボタンの上にあると反応してしまう不具合を見つけまし た。次回のアップデートで修正されます。念のため、どの機種のどのゲームで起きたか、support@retropal.fr までお知らせいただけると助かります。

Dsの閉じるギミックがない

ゲームをしていてdsを閉じて解決するギミックがあるが、どうやってもできない
