Retropa

Retropa is an emulator for handheld and arcade games on iPhone and iPad, with Mac listed among its supported platforms. It covers 14 handheld and console systems plus arcade families; listed systems include GBA, Nintendo DS, NES, Super NES, Genesis, WonderSwan, Neo Geo Pocket, and Master System. The free plan costs nothing and includes handheld and console systems, imports, controller templates, Delta skin import, save states, and rewind. Games and BIOS files are not supplied, so users import content they are entitled to use through Files, AirDrop, a browser, a local Wi-Fi Portal, or the Homebrew catalog. Compatible external controllers and ready-made templates are supported. Retropa Plus adds arcade families, premium skins, console mode, advanced save workflows, adaptive touch controls with five styles, and 64 listed display filters. Saves can be backed up and restored with iCloud Drive. Game files stay on the device, and no account is needed to play. iPhone and iPad require iOS 18 or later.
