RetroArch APK for Android

One-stop media hub

Powered by the Libretro interface, RetroArch is a free, open-source emulator that can launch a wide range of applications, from retro games to the most essential apps. It’s packaged in a simple yet modifiable dashboard, showing the main menu right off the bat. You can switch between light and dark mode. 

Play your favorite old-school games

While it already comes with a set of ready-to-use applications, RetroArch still allows the download of extra programs, or ‘cores.’ Unfortunately, the free version has space for only up to 50 cores — should you need more, it’s advised to purchase the premium version of the app. Regardless, it doesn’t feature any ads.

The app comes with built-in remapping features, allowing you to rearrange the controls of a game in whichever way you want. You can also create and load quick saves and take screenshots. Plus, you can join online sessions through NetPlay. There’s also multiple language support available. 

Super handy and ad-free

Play retro titles to your heart’s content or launch any compatible program with RetroArch. It’s best to use with games, thanks to the control remapping feature, quick save creation and loading, and online multiplayer connection through NetPlay, among other gamer-friendly functionalities. There are no pesky ads that plague it, too.
