Why you'll love it

Play right in the app

Tap a game and start playing. Built-in emulators run your library on iPhone and iPad, no second app needed.

Saves follow you

Save files and save states sync with your RomM server. Stop on the phone, pick up on the iPad, or in RomM on your desktop.

Take it offline

Download games once and play them on the train, on a plane or anywhere without a connection to your server.

Play on the big screen

Connect an Apple TV or an HDMI adapter and the game moves to the TV, while your phone becomes the controller.
