Upgrade
iFly Plus
Plus unlocks the extras built on top of the emulator. The emulator itself, and everything needed to play your games, stays free.
Free forever
None of this is behind Plus, and none of it will be. If a feature is needed to import a game, play it, save it, or earn achievements in it, it is free.
- The emulator core, and every system it runs — Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2, Atomiswave
- Importing games, by WebDAV, HTTP, Files.app, or drag-and-drop
- Save states and auto-saves
- RetroAchievements
- Bundled and imported controller skins, including DeltaSkin and ManicSkin
- The basic shader buckets — scanlines, handheld LCD, sharpening, and the default Trinitron CRT
- iCloud sync for saves, VMUs, and BIOS
- Cheats, metadata lookup, and the VMU file manager
What Plus unlocks
Six features, all of them iFly's own work rather than the emulator core.
CRT & Filter Packs
Deep CRT, NTSC, and film-simulation shader packs, on top of the shader library the app already ships.
Scanlines, handheld LCD looks, sharpening, and the default Trinitron CRT are free for everyone — the preset iFly turns on by default is never behind the paywall.
HD Texture Packs
Install community HD texture packs per game and manage them in-app.

Per-Game Tuning Profiles
Save a tuned set of emulation settings per game, so a title that needs a specific configuration keeps it without changing your defaults.
VMU on Apple Watch
Run VMU mini-games on your wrist and trade memory cards between the watch and the app.

Watermark-Free Clips

Recording itself is free — Plus only removes the watermark.

Unlimited Handoff
Pick a game up on another device as often as you like.

Founder badge
Buy the lifetime unlock during the first six weeks after launch and the app keeps a Founder badge for you. It is local recognition in the app — there is no leaderboard and nothing is published.
Provenance Plus
iFly and Provenance are built by the same person, and Plus is meant to carry across both.
