01

Does Snapemu include games?

Snapemu includes selected games distributed under third-party licenses. Import other games yourself and ensure you have the legal right to use them under local laws and copyright requirements. See the Bundled Game Licenses page on this website for creators, sources, and license scopes.

02

How do I import my games?

Place your files in the roms folder of your game directory, grouped by system, such as roms/nes, roms/snes, or roms/gba. Select that directory in the app and scan it. You can also import a ROM directly, or a ZIP containing a single game file.

03

Which game systems are supported?

Snapemu currently supports NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, and CPS1, CPS2, CPS3, NEOGEO, and IGS arcade systems. Compatibility varies by emulation core, game file, and device.

04

Can I use an external controller?

Keyboard and external controller settings include custom button mapping, so it plays the way you like.

05

Can I back up and restore my saves?

Yes. Export local saves to a backup file, preview its contents, and restore it. For conflicting manual saves, keep the newer save, the current save, or the backup. This is file-based backup and restore, not cloud sync.

06

How do I add a game to my home screen?

This feature is Android-only. Request a shortcut from the game details page and follow the system prompts. If it fails, check Snapemu’s shortcut permission in system settings. Home screen shortcuts are part of Premium.
