What is a ROM Emulator?
Emulate Classic Hardware
An emulator is software that mimics the hardware of a specific gaming console, letting you run that console's games on your modern device — no cartridges required.
Pair with ROM Files
Download a ROM file for the game you want to play, open it inside an emulator, and the emulator will run it just like the original hardware would.
All Free & Open Source
Every emulator listed here is free to download, and the majority are open-source projects maintained by passionate retro gaming communities.
Our emulator library covers all major retro platforms including Nintendo (NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, GBA, DS), Sega (Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast), Sony (PlayStation), and classic Arcade systems.
For each platform we list the most popular and best-maintained emulators available, so you can quickly find the right one for your operating system — whether you're on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, or iOS.
