Plume is a Dreamcast emulator for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A polished library, deep graphics options, and controls for handheld play and couch co-op. Add games through the Files app, AirDrop, or the Share sheet. Supported formats include GDI, CDI, CHD, CUE, ISO, M3U, ELF, ZIP, and 7Z. Retail BIOS files are optional. Turn on Fast Boot to skip the splash, or add dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin from hardware you own for the full boot sequence. LIBRARY Your collection lives in one place with cover art, metadata, favorites, and play time. Every menu can show as Tiles or a List. After you run a game, Plume grades how it performs on your device (Excellent, Good, Playable, and more) so you know what to expect before you boot. Add any game to your Home Screen. CONTROLS Use fully customizable on-screen controls, or pair a Bluetooth gamepad in iOS Settings and remap every button in Plume. Dreamcast has four controller ports, and each port can hold a standard controller, arcade stick, twin stick, racing controller, fishing controller, light gun, maracas, train, rhythm or dance controller, keyboard, or mouse, each with its own touch layout. Touch controls fill port 1 when nothing else is connected. Rumble and haptics are built in. CONSOLE MODE Mirror your screen to a TV over AirPlay or HDMI. In Console mode the game renders on the big screen while your iPhone stays the controller. GRAPHICS AND PERFORMANCE Tune internal resolution, aspect ratio, CRT shaders, texture filtering, HDR, and upscaling. MetalFX upscaling and FSR 3 frame generation are available on supported devices. HD texture packs, neural upscale models, and Upscale Studio help older games look sharper. A live HUD shows FPS, frame time, CPU, RAM, and more. SAVE STATES AND VMU Save and load states from the in-game menu. Slots appear on library covers for quick resume. Per-game VMU files keep memory cards where they belong. CHEATS Add cheat codes by hand or import them for each game. RETROACHIEVEMENTS Sign in to RetroAchievements and earn badges while you play. Hardcore mode disables save states for a classic challenge. EXTRACT Hold a game in the library to extract its music, videos, and pictures from your own disc. CAPTURE AND SHARE Take screenshots and record gameplay in-game. Save them to Documents or Photos, or attach a capture to a save-state slot as a visual bookmark. SOUND AND STYLE Menu music from downloadable tracks, your own imports, or songs from your Apple Music library. Themes give you control over colors, fonts, corners, and accessibility, including Bold Text and Button Shapes when iOS has them on. REQUIREMENTS Plume runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, and on Mac computers with Apple silicon running macOS 14 or later. Your device may warm up during play, and heavy 3D games may not reach full speed on older devices. LEGAL Plume does not include commercial games or a retail BIOS. You are responsible for content you import. Only use game files and firmware you legally own. Dreamcast is a trademark of SEGA. Plume is not affiliated with or endorsed by SEGA.

RTMHub32 brings 32-bit Windows games from the 2000s to your iPhone and iPad. You don't need a PC or a streaming service. Bring the games you already own and run them on your device. PLAY YOUR STEAM COPY Copy a game folder from Steam's steamapps/common on your PC to this device or a connected drive. RTMHub32 checks with Steam that your account owns the game, then runs it here. Games you've verified are marked with a badge in your library. BUY AND INSTALL FROM GOG Sign in to GOG in the built-in browser and download the Windows offline backup installer. RTMHub32 saves the download and builds a ready-to-play game from it. You don't have to leave the app. BRING YOUR OWN GAMES Add any 32-bit Windows game or installer from Files. Each game gets its own separate setup, so settings and saves stay apart. TOUCH CONTROLS YOU CAN SHAPE • Tap to left-click, tap with two fingers to right-click, and touch and hold to drag • Build your own on-screen layout with buttons, a WASD pad, an arrow pad and an analog cursor stick • Map any key to any button, and resize and place each one where your thumbs rest • Haptic feedback on every press CONTROLLER SUPPORT • Connect an Xbox, PlayStation or MFi controller • Keyboard mode maps each button and stick direction to a key, and it works with every game • Controller mode passes the pad through as an XInput controller for games that support one • Or turn on the virtual Xbox pad and play with on-screen sticks, a D-pad, ABXY, bumpers and triggers COMPATIBILITY LIST Check which games run well before you start. The list is updated separately from the app, and anyone can report a result. MADE FOR THE ERA DirectX 9-era titles, RPGs, strategy games, adventure games and visual novels. The games that filled your hard drive in the 2000s, now in your pocket. GOOD TO KNOW • No games are included. You have to own every game you play. • RTMHub32 runs 32-bit Windows games only. • Games protected by Denuvo, by Steam's own DRM wrapper, or by kernel anti-cheat can't run. RTMHub32 never removes copy protection. • Performance depends on the game and your device. Newer iPhones and iPads with more memory give the best results. RTMHub32 is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Valve, Steam, GOG or Microsoft. All trademarks belong to their owners.
