## What is RTM EMU?

RTM EMU is the most ambitious emulator on iOS — built to run PC games and PlayStation 2 classics natively on your iPhone, with the polish of a modern app and the flexibility of a real desktop emulator.

Two emulators in one app
- PC — runs PC games right on iOS. Drop in your favourite point-and-click adventure, RPG, indie title, or retro Windows classic and it runs. No jailbreak, no sideloading, no PC required.
- PS2 — relive the PlayStation 2 era with the included PS2 emulator core. Bring your own legally-owned ISOs.
- More on the way — vote for the next emulator we add right from the in-app Discord button.

Quick-launch hub
A unique drag-and-hold pie wheel lets you pick your emulator with a flick. Hold any segment for a second to set it as your default — the next time you open the app it jumps straight to your favourite.

A controller that fits your hand
- Built-in on-screen gamepad with multiple layouts (analog stick + face buttons, WASD circle, Type-C custom layout).
- Customise everything — drag any button to any spot, resize, mix-and-match analog sticks, mouse-cursor pads, or labelled keys.
- Two-controller support so you can play split-screen co-op classics.
- Plug in MFi or PS / Xbox controllers — full hardware controller support is built in.

Live in-game translator
Stuck on a Japanese RPG? Tap the globe icon and RTM EMU captures the screen, OCRs the on-screen text, and overlays a live translation in your language. Supports English, Mandarin, and more on the way.

Save & load anywhere
- Save states on PS2 (and on PC with Pro) — pick up exactly where you left off.

Performance you can feel
- Selectable CPU profile (P3 fast mode) for demanding games.
- HD-graphics toggle, frame-skip, FPS overlay, optional black-screen filter.
- Click-only mouse mode for AGS / point-and-click games (smoother than per-pixel tracking).

Localised
Full English and 中文 support, with more languages on the roadmap.

RTM Pro — support the dev, get the best experience
A single $2.99 / month tier unlocks:
- Save / Load State on PC
- HD Graphics on every emulator
- Advanced configuration controls
- 2nd on-screen controller
- Custom on-screen controller editor
- Unlimited Translator (free tier: 100 / day)
- Direct line to feature requests

We promise: every cent goes back into making this the best emulator on iOS. No ads. No data harvesting. Just the dev, the code, and you.

Bring your own games. Use only legally-obtained software, ROMs, and ISOs you own. RTM EMU does not provide game files of any kind.

### 5/5 — .

*2026-08-15*

Tem futuro pra caramba esse app, só de abrir os jogos já é um baita começo… com atualizações resolve o travamento

### 2/5 — PS3 Emulator

*2026-08-15, version 1.5.9*

The PS3 Emulator doesn’t work, when loading it says “WebGPU is not available in this browsers”

### 5/5 — High graphics

*2026-08-09, version 1.5.6*

Update high graphics ps1 ps2 ps3 please 🙏

### 3/5 — Ps3 problem…

*2026-08-09*

The emulator runs ps2 and 1 games perfectly but the graphics of them is not the best, you need to pay pro to make the graphics look better, which is a money grab, cause there is better emulators in the iphone for ps2,1 games, i player paprappa the rapper 2 on the ps2 emulator, it did horribly…. but ignore the ps2,1 emulator, my main focus is on the ps3 emulator which is unbelievable! but as usual its just crashes, i think more patches and optimization will make grand theft auto 5 boot up.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2026-08-09, version 1.5.5*

Can’t play anything

### 2/5 — Screen

*2026-08-08, version 1.5.5*

Black screens. That’s all it is.

### 1/5 — Se não quer pagar 200 reais pra jogar ps2, nem tente!

*2026-08-05*

Esse emulador não salva os jogos, somente por save estate, mas pra carregar save estate vc precisa pagar algum plano. Achei isso bem predatório, entendo que desenvolvedores precisam de dinheiro, mas o plano mensal é 20 reais e o vitalício mais de 200, e isso pra liberar uma função básica que outros emuladores disponibilizam de graça. Não gostei desse posicionamento dos desenvolvedores, era melhor vender o app como pago e cobrar um preço mais justo. No momento, recomendo pesquisar sobre s1d3l04d1ng e instalar um emulador mais digno.

### 5/5 — Amazingly Optimized.

*2026-08-04, version 1.5.5*

This is amazing and runs Half-Life perfectly but I’m just requesting you to add controller support.

### 1/5 — TRASH.

*2026-08-03*

МУСОР.

### 1/5 — How do i change the urls

*2026-07-30, version 1.5.4*

It saids webgpu not supported on ps3 so i cannot play littlebigplanet ugh do you know how do you know to change the urls!
