What is Nelkano

A multisystem emulator with an increasingly solid base

Nelkano brings together emulation, a local library and modules that extend its features. You can play without an account; Friends and Streaming require sign-in and a connection. No ads are included.

  • Modules and SDK

    Add features through JavaScript or TypeScript modules and SDK capabilities.

  • Bluetooth controllers

    Use a controller recognized by your device and configure its buttons per system. Support depends on the controller and platform.

  • Touch control editor

    Customize the position and size of each on-screen control for each system.

  • Collections

    Organize your library with custom game collections.

  • Import games

    On Android, import supported files, ZIP, RAR and 7z archives. Desktop import options may differ.

  • ZIP and RAR import

    Import games in their original formats or as ZIP and RAR archives, including complete packs.
