What Lemuroid is

Lemuroid is a free, open-source Android emulator that brings supported game files together in one library. It scans a folder selected by the user and displays found games with artwork and metadata. The current release lists 23 system and platform categories, including Atari, Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, NEC, SNK, WonderSwan, and arcade systems. Players can configure on-screen touch controls, use gamepads, and play local multiplayer. Save options include normal in-game saves, quick states, quick-save and quick-load shortcuts, and automatic state restoration. Display simulation and HD mode provide picture adjustments, although performance depends on the device, game, system, and settings. Lemuroid is designed for Android phones, tablets, and Android TV, with installation offered through Google Play or an APK linked from the project's GitHub release. It does not include games, firmware, or copyrighted system files; users supply their own legally obtained files. Supported systems may not perform equally, and newer systems generally need more capable hardware. The app is free and contains no ads.
