Apollo Emulators

Getting started

Add your own games, find them in the library, and open or resume a game.

Help pages

Apollo includes the app, not the games. Start with the files you already own and check your app’s supported formats: Apollo Boy, Apollo Super, Apollo Classic, or Apollo Drive.

Add games

  1. Open All games from the home screen.
  2. Choose + Add.
  3. Pick one game, several games, or a folder.
  4. Review what the app found, then confirm the import.

Apollo also looks for supported games inside .zip and .7z archives. An archive with one supported game is kept as an archive and played from it; one with several is unpacked. Files that are not supported games, archives with no supported game, and .rar archives are skipped and listed in the import result. A very large solid .7z pack may exceed the unpacking limit; try the individual supported files instead.

On Android, each game is copied into the app’s private storage. Moving or deleting the original afterward does not remove the imported copy. Importing can continue while you play. If it is interrupted, the app offers to continue when it next opens; games already imported remain in the library.

Find a game again

The home shelf keeps your six most recent games. All games shows the entire library and lets you:

  • search by any part of a name;
  • sort by recent use or by name;
  • filter by the app’s systems, favorites, or achievement support where available;
  • mark a game as a favorite from its options;
  • add more games without leaving the library.

Cards show a cover or resume picture and, where available, achievement progress and music compatibility. The system labels and available filters depend on the app.

Open and resume

Tap a card to open the game. With Pro, Resume where I left off can return to the last saved frame, paused until you tap or press a button. A resume point is separate from the game’s own save and never overwrites it.

Hold a game card to open its options. You can favorite it, manage its save, start from the in-game save instead of its resume point, or remove it. Read the removal confirmation: keeping the save and deleting the save are separate choices.

Before uninstalling

Android deletes the app’s private storage when you uninstall it. That includes imported games and locally kept progress. Export important saves first, or check Google Drive backup with Pro. Keep your original game files too; backup does not include games.
