## What is TwinPlay?

TwinPlay turns your iPhone into a dual-screen handheld: the game on the top screen and the touch screen on the bottom. On a foldable iPhone, the two screens sit on either side of the fold. It also plays Game Boy Advance, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, and it works great on every iPhone.

MADE FOR TWO SCREENS
• Cheat codes you enter yourself: Action Replay DS, GameShark, CodeBreaker and Game Genie
• Screenshots and gameplay videos with game sound, saved to Photos
• Free one-tap cover finder for your library
• Top screen and touch screen, in portrait or landscape
• On a foldable iPhone, unfold it and the screens split right at the fold
• The free Pearl White skin, a white Lite-style shell, puts the hinge right on the fold
• Tap and drag on the bottom screen like a stylus
• iPad is not supported

CLOSED FOLDABLE: A CLASSIC HANDHELD
• Fold the iPhone shut and Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games keep playing on the outer screen, in landscape, inside a full-screen classic handheld shell
• Classic skin pack: Classic Gray, Slim Silver, Grape, Atomic Purple (translucent), Teal, Kiwi, Dandelion, Berry, Indigo, Glacier (translucent), Platinum and Spice Orange
• Every layout and skin is just the default: move and resize every control, and pick any skin you like

NO GAMES INCLUDED
TwinPlay does not include any games or system files, and it does not download games. Add game files that you own, such as backups of your own cartridges, or free homebrew made by independent developers.

EASY TO START
1. Put your game files in the Files app (for example, in Downloads or iCloud Drive).
2. In TwinPlay, tap + and choose Import Game Files… or Import a Folder….
3. Tap a game to play.
TwinPlay only looks for new games when you tap "Find New Games Now". It never scans your phone by itself.

FEATURES
• DS, GBA, Game Boy and Game Boy Color in one app
• No BIOS files needed: a built-in BIOS is included
• Dual-screen layouts for portrait, landscape and foldable iPhones
• Touch controls made for phones: slide between buttons, press A+B together, diagonals on the D-pad, size and opacity options, and vibration
• Touch-only mode for DS games played with the stylus
• Works with MFi, Xbox and PlayStation controllers
• Realistic skins inspired by classic handhelds
• Game library with Cover Flow, cartridge view and title-screen view
• Save states plus normal in-game saves
• Custom layouts, free: move and resize the screens and every on-screen button, with snap guides and integer scaling, saved per console and orientation
• Home Screen widget: open your recent, favorite or most played games with one tap (iOS 17 or later)
• Sharp, high-resolution 3D on newer iPhones
• A clean glass design that fits right in with iOS

BEST ON
Works on iPhone with iOS 16 or later. Best on iPhone 13 or newer.

GOOD TO KNOW
DS emulation is still improving, and some games may not run, or may not run perfectly yet. You can report a game that does not work right from inside the app, and we use these reports to improve TwinPlay.

TWINPLAY PLUS AND PRO (one-time purchases, no subscription)
• Plus: all skins, library scenes, app icons and single-screen mode
• Pro: everything in Plus, plus Cover Flow, custom BIOS, FPS meter, stick calibration, custom backgrounds, and no ads
