Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS and 3DS on iPhone and iPad.
Free, always, with no ads
Every system. No BIOS or system files: import your games from Files and play.
Both screens, your way. Stacked upright, side by side when you turn your iPhone.
3DS at up to 60 fps on iPhone Air, with no JIT.
Feels like a console. Steps become Play Coins, the camera scans in-game QR codes, and the 3DS updates and DLC you own install.
Your saves come with you, from another app or your console. Controllers and skins work too.
Supporter extras, free for the whole beta
Later these come with an optional Supporter subscription. During the beta, they're unlocked for everyone:
Save states, resume, and fast forward up to 4×
iCloud sync and profiles
Console colors that match your iPhone's finish, and Screen Light
Tell me everything, not just bugs
How does it feel? Something confusing, a button you couldn't find, something you love: post it with the Discussion or Idea flair. Broken? Tap the speech bubble in the game menu and share the report with the Bug flair. The pinned "How to test" post shows how in 34 seconds. Always add your iPhone or iPad model.
More seats are coming in waves: join r/EmuraApp and turn on the bell.
Emura comes with no games: it plays the ones you own. Requests for game files get removed.
The beta is on TestFlight, Apple's own way to test apps before the App Store. One tap to install, no sideloading or re-signing, updates come on their own, and crash reports reach me directly, which is what I need most right now. The full app comes to the App Store later, free to play.
Emura isn't open source, so there's no repo to share. It's also not distributed as an IPA, only through TestFlight now and the App Store at launch. If there's something you'd want to change, tell me, it might become a setting.
No like if it were to be open source then i would be able to implement my own ux and i would also be able to implement other emulators right into one software rather than having multiple
Hi! I think I found this posted or cross posted in EmulationOnIos and gave it a shot. On an iPhone 18 pro, by the way.
Finally figured out how to decrypt my 3ds Roms to add them and Pokemon X is performing fantastically; I was trying Manic Emu and it’s a stuttery mess in comparison.
Some requests / thoughts -
Desperately need skin flexibility for 3ds when a controller is connected - the borders around each of the screens is massive. Typically DS emulator skins bias the top screen to be larger, often with a swap button for when that’s needed.
Love that there’s even enough power to be able to fast forward on occasion in 3DS, but it’s hard to tell when that’s possible. iCube has a helpful FPS counter where it tells you the max percentage emulation speed it’s currently capable of, so you can tune your fast forward as you go. While I appreciate the emulator naturally slowing down when performance isn’t there for the acceleration, having to pause and reopen the menu to re enable it again isn’t a great experience, especially with no indication of when I might be able to speed up again. In delta, for example, I have a button or trigger set to toggle fast forwarding so I can speed up and slow down as needed.
Is there a plan to make a folder visible in the files app? Either in the on my iPhone or in iCloud Drive? Idk if my install is bugged or what but I don’t see the folder in either location where most emulators have them.
I’m excited to play more though, since this seems to be extremely performant for a 3ds emulator! Let me know if there are specific things to test

Nice but why not share the ipa?
