Lemuroid

Multi-system emulation on Android

Lemuroid is an open-source emulator for Android devices, built for playing games from a broad range of classic and newer console systems. It supports platforms including Atari 2600 and 7800, NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, PSP, and Nintendo 3DS. It also covers systems such as Atari Lynx, Sega CD, Neo Geo Pocket, WonderSwan, PC Engine, and FinalBurn Neo arcade.

Useful tools for a personal game library

The app can scan and index ROM files, including zipped ROMs, so a larger collection is easier to browse. Save states allow games to be paused and resumed from quick-save slots, while automatic state saving helps preserve progress. Lemuroid also includes fast-forward, display effects that simulate LCD or CRT screens, customizable touch controls, tilt-based stick input, and support for external gamepads.

Designed for different Android screens

Lemuroid is intended to work across Android hardware, from phones and tablets to TVs. Local multiplayer is available when multiple gamepads are connected to one device, and cloud save synchronization can help keep progress available across supported setups. Performance depends heavily on the device: demanding systems such as PSP, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS require considerably more capable hardware than older consoles.

Ratings and requirements

With 1,000,000+ installs and a 3.96 rating from 24,208 reviews, Lemuroid is maintained by Filippo Scognamiglio. It does not include games, so users need to provide their own legally owned ROM files. The app is free to use and contains no advertising.
