Frequently asked questions

Which ROM formats are supported?

RetroPaw supports standard formats per platform (.nes, .sfc, .gba, .n64, .iso, and more). For archives, only .zip is supported—they are unpacked automatically.

How do I add games?

Copy ROMs to your device storage and open them from the app, or use Android’s file picker and “Share” into RetroPaw. Games are organized by platform automatically.

Which controllers work?

Most Bluetooth USB HID gamepads work, including PlayStation DualShock 4 / DualSense and Xbox One / Series controllers. Multiple pads are supported for local multiplayer.

Will I lose my saves?

No. RetroPaw includes auto-save and keeps saves on your device. You can also back them up with your preferred cloud or file sync app on Android.

Can I improve 3D graphics?

Yes. The N64 core can run at higher internal resolution so classic 3D titles look sharper on modern screens.

Does RetroPaw support multiplayer?

Yes. Connect multiple controllers for local multiplayer, or map players to different areas of the touch screen.
