Pokemon X and Y GBA

The principle is the same as above, that is, you can use, say, a PlayStation emulator for Android and thus play games from that console on your Android phone. Fortunately, there are emulators for many different video games, as you can see and download on our portal.

But, emulators only reproduce the operating system of a video game, not the games. That's where ROMs come in.

Now that you understand what an emulator is and how it works, it's time to understand where the games you want will come from: roms. They are nothing more than files that perfectly replicate the original game, as long as they are loaded inside the emulator.

The mechanics, in a didactic comparison, is as follows. Imagine that you have a file made in Word, for Windows. It doesn't open in other software, and even if you use another text editor, it has some incompatibility tweaks.

That is, you need a PlayStation emulator for Android if you want to play a PS title on your cell phone. Now, if you want to, let's say, play an xBox title on your PC, you'll need an xBox emulator for Windows.

With that understood, it's time to talk about how you get everything ready to have fun.

Although you can download the roms first and leave them on your phone for when you want to play, the normal procedure is to start from the emulator. So, see the steps below to get started:

1. Enable downloading from unknown sources on Android. To do so, go to Settings → Security – Unknown sources and tap OK or Accept

2. Choose the video game emulator you want to play on your Android on our portal
