Plans
In their own words
ClassicBoy Pro
ClassicBoy Pro combines emulator cores with a game library for playing classic games on Android phones, tablets and TVs; Windows is also listed as a platform. Its ROM scanner checks selected files or directories, identifies games and adds them to the library. A gallery lets users browse, locate and favorite titles, while a database provides game information. Listed emulator cores include Dolphin, Citra, PPSSPP, FlyCast, PCSX-ReARMed/SwanStation and Mupen64Plus, among others. Controls support touchscreen buttons, external gamepads, customizable layouts, gestures and accelerometer mapping. Gameplay tools include adjustable speed, save and load states, data import and export, and cheat codes. The app does not include ROMs, and users must have the right to each ROM they play. The listing says no data is collected or shared with third parties. Permissions cover game-file access, vibration, audio reverb settings and Bluetooth controllers. The free plan is listed at free; Google Play also notes in-app purchases without showing their prices.
