About this app

RetroMania is a polished, modern emulator for classic Nintendo handhelds and consoles. Built natively in Jetpack Compose for current Android phones, foldables, and tablets — every feature unlocked, no ads, ever. External controllers supported.

Coming from Delta on iOS? RetroMania imports your existing .sav saves with a single tap, so you can pick up your Pokémon, Zelda, or Fire Emblem run exactly where you left off!

SUPPORTED SYSTEMS
• Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
• Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
• Game Boy (GB)
• Game Boy Color (GBC)
• Game Boy Advance (GBA)
• Nintendo 64 (N64)
• Nintendo DS (NDS)

FEATURES
• Authentic per-system on-screen skins with system-accurate button shapes and colors
• Foldable-aware layouts — controls and game screen reflow automatically when you open and close a Galaxy Z Fold or other foldable
• Drag-to-move and pinch-to-resize any on-screen control for a layout that fits your hands
• Save states with thumbnails, timestamps, and play-time tracking
• Auto-save on exit and auto-resume on launch — pick up exactly where you left off, even after closing the app
• Dropbox cloud sync — every save is pushed to your Dropbox automatically as you play, so you can move between devices or recover after a reinstall
• Local Backup folder — pick any folder on your device or SD card and your saves are mirrored there too, surviving even an app uninstall
• Fast forward at 5× speed for grinding through slow text and cutscenes (audio muted during fast forward to keep things clean)
• Smart cover art search — automatically fetches box art from the libretro thumbnails archive, with fallback to in-game screenshots and title screens for obscure titles
• Physical gamepad support with auto-detection — Xbox, PlayStation DualShock 4 / DualSense,
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, 8BitDo, Razer Kishi, Backbone One, and any other HID gamepad
• On-screen controls automatically hide when a physical controller is connected
• Analog stick maps to D-pad on digital-only systems (NES/SNES/GBA/GB/GBC/DS) so external controllers work everywhere
• Native analog stick support on N64
• NDS touch-screen support with microphone input for games that need it
• Customizable button mapping for every system
• Built-in haptic feedback

RetroMania is made by a teeny tiny team in the Alps. It's offered free with no ads, no IAP, no paywalls — every feature unlocked from day one. If you'd like to chip in toward a baguette, a coffee, or a fondue, there's an optional donation link in Settings.
