Famemu
Retro cartridges & arcade play
Free
Three original Rocket Rush games, Ember cartridges, and Lantern packages in one local library. Play with touch controls or a connected controller.
Famemu brings retro cartridges to iPhone and iPad. The app includes three original Rocket Rush games, one each for the Ember 8, Ember 16, and Ember 32 engines.
Play with on-screen controls or a connected game controller. Import compatible cartridges from Files in .nes, .sfc, .smc, .fig, .swc, .e32, or .lant formats. Lantern packages run in the embedded Wick runtime with screen touch, sound, and game-managed persistent saves. Ember games support local Save and Restore snapshots.
If a signature accompanies a cartridge, select its matching .emsig file too. To run your own unsigned cartridge, enable Developer Mode in Settings. Famemu does not provide third-party game downloads.
Your cartridges and saves stay on your device. There is no account, advertising, analytics, or subscription. Famemu is free to download and part of the Aulenor game-development project.

• Fixed player loading, pause/resume ordering, short button taps, and touch-coordinate mapping.
• Added clearer cartridge failure messages and recovery to the library.
• Improved malformed-file handling and bounded runtime resources.
