About Lemuroid
Lemuroid is an all-in-one emulator for Android. Instead of installing a separate app for each console, it bundles emulation cores for several retro systems behind one library view and uses libretro metadata to recognise games.
It includes an on-screen touch control layer for playing without a controller. The source is built in two variants, one for Google Play and one without Play dependencies. It suits people who want a single, simple emulator app on a phone or tablet.
