RetroPal
All-in-one retro emulator for Android & Android TV
One app for your whole classic game library, from 8-bit handhelds to Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Dreamcast, and PSP. Play the games you legally own with save states, rewind, cloud saves, achievements, automatic artwork, multiplayer, and full controller support. Pick a pixel-perfect or modern look, with LCD, composite, and CRT filters — on your phone or from the couch.
Supported Systems
From 8-bit handhelds to Dreamcast, PSP, and beyond — over 25 classic systems in one app.
Nintendo DS, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PSP, and Dreamcast are available on phones and tablets only, not on Android TV. PlayStation 2 support is experimental and works best on powerful devices.
…and more systems added in regular updates.
Features
Modern conveniences wrapped around faithful emulation.

Back up your progress to Google Drive or local storage and keep your saves safe across reinstalls and devices.
Import Your Saves

Box art and metadata are fetched automatically to build a beautiful, browsable library.

Android TV Ready
Lean back with D-pad navigation and a layout built for the living room, and play your cartridge-era and arcade collection on the big screen.

A built-in HTTP server makes moving your game files onto your TV effortless — no cables needed.

Per-Console Settings
Settings are organized console by console, with BIOS files, video, audio, and performance options for each system, tuned automatically for your device.
Disc & Archive Support
Load CHD, CUE/BIN, ISO, and GDI disc images, multi-disc M3U playlists, and ZIP or 7z archives.
Improved NDS Core
