Features

Everything you need

Instant play

The emulator cores are WebAssembly. No downloads, no configuration — open a game and it runs.

Four engines, one player

J2ME, MediaTek MRE, In-Fusio ExEn and Mophun behind a single player — with WIPI, DoJa, Flash Lite and more on the way. The right core is picked from the file you open.

Cloud saves & save states

Snapshot a game mid-level, and every save syncs to your account. Start on the bus, continue at your desk.

Bring your own games

Drop in a .jar, .vxp, .exn or .mpn you own. Files are identified by hash, so names, icons and compatibility info come for free.

Make it yours

Skins, themes, shaders, fonts and sounds from the store — dress the player up like the handset you remember.

Controls that fit

On touch, a keypad mirrors the original phone. On desktop, keyboard and controllers map to the same keys.
