built to run PC games and PlayStation 2
RTM EMU is the most ambitious emulator on iOS — built to run PC games and PlayStation 2 classics natively on your iPhone, with the polish of a modern app and the flexibility of a real desktop emulator.
Two emulators in one app
- PC — runs PC games right on iOS. Drop in your favourite point-and-click adventure, RPG, indie title, or retro Windows classic and it runs. No jailbreak, no sideloading, no PC required.
- PS2 — relive the PlayStation 2 era with the included PS2 emulator core. Bring your own legally-owned ISOs.
- More on the way — vote for the next emulator we add right from the in-app Discord button.
Quick-launch hub
A unique drag-and-hold pie wheel lets you pick your emulator with a flick. Hold any segment for a second to set it as your default — the next time you open the app it jumps straight to your favourite.
A controller that fits your hand
- Built-in on-screen gamepad with multiple layouts (analog stick + face buttons, WASD circle, Type-C custom layout).
- Customise everything — drag any button to any spot, resize, mix-and-match analog sticks, mouse-cursor pads, or labelled keys.
- Two-controller support so you can play split-screen co-op classics.
- Plug in MFi or PS / Xbox controllers — full hardware controller support is built in.
Live in-game translator
Stuck on a Japanese RPG? Tap the globe icon and RTM EMU captures the screen, OCRs the on-screen text, and overlays a live translation in your language. Supports English, Mandarin, and more on the way.
Save & load anywhere
- Save states on PS2 (and on PC with Pro) — pick up exactly where you left off.
Performance you can feel
- Selectable CPU profile (P3 fast mode) for demanding games.
- HD-graphics toggle, frame-skip, FPS overlay, optional black-screen filter.
- Click-only mouse mode for AGS / point-and-click games (smoother than per-pixel tracking).
Localised
Full English and 中文 support, with more languages on the roadmap.

So basically I was trying to play ultimate spider man but all it gave me was a black screen and I saw a video of the app and it worked fine but it could be that ultimate spider man just doesn’t work but then I tried mvsc 2 new age of hero’s a game that is in the apps picture but I still doesn’t work I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if it is the app so I would like some help to see what I’m doing wrong
It works just as expected

The emulator accomplishes its goal, which is to run PS2 titles with 2D graphics and little 3D graphics. Indeed, it does, running them at 50–60 FPS. It also runs almost every other PS2 title; the ones with much more 3D graphics may work, but with low frame rates such as 13–19 FPS, and others at 20–25 or 22–27 FPS. Don’t expect most of them to be playable. Hopefully, there’ll be future updates that are going to improve compatibility even more.
Amazing, this is just amazing!

It’s been some years since emulators were allowed on ios, I really didn’t think we were going to be able to make emulators for such heavy machines without JIT. But this is just a crazy proof of what a developer can do. The emulator (like the developer said in the desc) Isn’t very powerfull with heavy 3D games at all, I tested some games like P3 FES and even tho I didn’t exepct anything I was surprised by how even being jitless it managed to boot and even getting smooth high framerates ln inside scenes. Of course if you are searching to play 2D games you will get alot more of it. This is a great work by the same dev that also madeGamePiiSiii, I really want to see this emulator get more updates!
Can’t run Half-Life
ThePeiceOfToast
Got this to play half life on my phone. It said it can’t run complex 3d graphics, and while half-life is 3 dimensional, it’s not that complex. It just wouldn’t play. I dunno why. I would give one star, but it might work with other games I wanna play that I don’t have in my physical collection, so I gave it two. For now, I just wanna say, if delta can run Majoras Mask, then this could definitely run half life. But yea as a half life fan I am very upset and if you’re getting this to play half life, I’m very sorry, but you can’t :(
