Not available in the Google Play build
Import any .nes file from your device and play instantly — no conversion needed.
Save at any moment — as many named save states per game as you want.
On-screen controls or a Bluetooth pad. Remap every button as you like.
Connect a second gamepad and play together on one screen.
CRT filter, scanlines and smoothing — dial in the old TV look or keep the pixels razor sharp.
Yes. 8BIX is completely free: no ads, no in-app purchases and no features locked behind a paywall.
Any NES or Famicom ROM in the iNES or NES 2.0 format — the usual .nes files. Pick one through the system file picker and the game lands in your library right away, with no conversion or unpacking.
The app comes with a catalogue of free homebrew games you can download in one tap. Beyond that you can import your own .nes files. 8BIX never distributes commercial ROMs, so cartridges you own have to be dumped by you.
Any phone or tablet running Android 7.0 or newer, budget hardware included. The NES runs at a full 60 fps even on entry-level chipsets, and you can play in both portrait and landscape.
Yes. Bluetooth and USB controllers are supported, and every NES button can be remapped to any key on your pad. Connect a second gamepad for local co-op on one screen.
Google Play rules do not allow a built-in game catalogue, so that build ships without one — you can still import your own .nes files. The APK and the RuStore build include the full online catalogue.
Yes. Save states and in-game battery saves stay on your device, and the emulator saves automatically when you pause or leave the game.
