About this app

Pocket Retro is a retro console emulator for Android. Load the classic game files you own, pick up where you left off with save states, and play with touch controls or a real gamepad.

Built on open-source Libretro emulation cores, Pocket Retro organises your games into a clean library and gives you controls, skins and display filters you can tune for every system.

KEY FEATURES
- Game library: scan a folder you choose and browse your games by system, with search and favorites.
- Save states: several save slots per game, plus optional autosave that restores your progress automatically.
- Fast forward: speed through slow sections of a game.
- Save files: import and export in-game save files.
- Touch controls: an on-screen gamepad with haptic feedback and adjustable tilt sensitivity.
- Controller skins: choose a look for your on-screen pad, for all systems or one system at a time.
- Gamepad support: pair a Bluetooth or USB controller and remap every button.
- Display filters: Sharp, Smooth, CRT and LCD looks.
- BIOS management: see which supported BIOS files have been detected in your folder.
- Themes and 22 languages.

COMPATIBILITY
Pocket Retro can run game files for systems such as Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, PlayStation, PSP, Nintendo DS, Atari 2600 / 7800 / Lynx, PC Engine, Neo Geo Pocket and WonderSwan. Performance depends on your device. Newer systems such as PSP, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 64 need a powerful phone.
