先看这一条。FGBA 是一个模拟器,它不附带任何游戏—— 没有一个 ROM、没有一个 BIOS、没有一份游戏数据。你要玩的游戏得你自己导入,而 那些 ROM 从哪儿来、是不是合法的,责任完全在你自己。请只导入你 自己拥有实体卡带、或者以其他合法方式有权使用的游戏。见第四节。
一、这份条款是什么
这份条款是你与 FGBA(下称「本 App」)的提供者之间的协议,说的是你怎么用 本 App,以及用了之后双方各担哪些责任。
下载、安装或使用本 App,就表示你读过、看懂了、并且同意这份条款。不同意就别 用。如果你未满你所在地区的成年年龄,得让你的父母或监护人替你读一遍并同意。
二、你可以怎么用
我们给你一份个人的、非独占的、不可转让、可撤回的许可,让你在 自己的设备上使用本 App:
- 玩你自己导入的游戏;
- 备份、导出、整理你自己的存档;
- 用联机功能跟你自己的另一台设备(或你自己在跑的模拟器)对连。
下面这些不行:
- 把本 App 本身拿去卖、出租、再分发,或者打包进别的产品;
- 反编译、反汇编、绕过我们或系统的技术保护措施(法律明确允许的除外);
- 把本 App 当成一项对外服务提供给别人用(比如做成云游戏平台);
- 用本 App 干任何违法的事——见第六节。
你可以拿它玩你自己的正版游戏,也可以拿它做合法的事。但本 App 只是一台机器,机器不替你判断你要喂给它的东西合不合法。
三、你导入的 ROM:责任在你
本 App 带一个文件导入入口,让你把设备上的 ROM 文件交给它来运行。这个动作 纯粹发生在你自己和你的设备之间:我们不提供、不托管、不分发、 不索引任何 ROM,也不知道你导入了什么(见《隐私政策》第四节——我们连你的文件 都看不到)。
因此,你导入的每一个 ROM 的来源和合法性,全部由你负责。
你应当只导入:你自己购买的实体卡带提取出来的副本;明确以合法方式再分发 (例如公有领域、自由许可、作者自己放出来的 homebrew 或技术演示)的 ROM;或者 按你所在地区的法律你有权制作和持有的副本。
通过盗版渠道下载 ROM 在很多国家和地区是侵权行为,可能让你承担民事甚至刑事 责任。这跟用一个什么工具打开它无关——违法的是复制和下载,不是模拟器。
四、ROM 与游戏的版权:说清楚
这一节是这份条款里最要紧的一节,请耐心看完。
4.1 游戏的权利不属于我们,也不属于你(除非你买了它)
每一款游戏的代码、美术、音乐、剧情、角色,其著作权属于它的开发者与发行商 (例如 Nintendo、Game Freak、Creatures、The Pokémon Company,以及其他各家 公司)。卡带和盒子上的商标属于各自的权利人。
买一张卡带,你买到的是那件实物和一份在正版硬件上玩它的许可, 不是这款游戏的著作权。著作权不会因为你买了卡带就转给你。
4.2 我们做了什么、没做什么
- 没做:本 App 不附带任何 ROM、BIOS 或游戏资源文件。没有卡带, 打开它就是一台空的机器。
- 没做:本 App 不提供下载站、不内置 ROM 搜索、不接 ROM 资源 接口、不教你在哪儿下载。任何 ROM 都只能由你从你自己的设备里导入。
- 做了:本 App 提供模拟器的运行环境。模拟器本身是一项合法的 技术——它模拟硬件的行为,不复制任何游戏的内容。
4.3 如果权利人来投诉
如果你是权利人,认为本 App 侵犯了你的权利,请按第十四节联系我们。本 App 里没有任何游戏内容可供下架,但我们会认真对待每一条投诉,必要时 会停止分发本 App。
4.4 存档、截图、录像
存档里含有游戏进度数据,其内容仍受原游戏著作权约束。自己玩、自己备份没问题; 把它公开传播(尤其是用于商业用途)可能构成侵权。截图、录像同理。
五、图鉴数据与精灵图
本 App 内置一份宝可梦图鉴(第一至第三世代),用来在游玩时查属性、进化、 招式。这些资料和精灵图的著作权与商标权属于各自的权利人,本 App 只是为识别和说明的目的把它们整理在一起,未获授权方背书,也不 声称对它们拥有任何权利。这份数据整份打包在 App 里,不联网获取。
如果你是权利人并对这部分有异议,请联系我们,我们会删除或调整相应内容。
六、不得用于违法用途
使用本 App 时,你不得:
- 导入、传播盗版 ROM,或者用本 App 帮助别人这么做;
- 绕过、破解任何技术保护措施或数字版权管理;
- 上传、分享或公开传播含有他人作品的内容(存档、截图、录像)用于商业用途;
- 用云存档功能存放违法内容,或者拿它当通用的文件存储来用;
- 攻击、滥用我们或第三方的服务(包括刷接口、尝试越权访问他人账号);
- 冒充他人,或者用本 App 从事任何其他违反你所在地区法律的行为。
出现上述情形,我们可以在不事先通知的情况下停掉你的云存档账号,并保留追究的 权利。你因违法行为产生的一切后果由你自己承担。
七、可选账号
本 App 的核心功能不需要账号。以下两个是可选的,都要你自己去开:
7.1 云存档账号
由我们提供(后端托管在第三方云平台上,见《隐私政策》第五节)。注册时请提供 你能收到的邮箱,并不要复用你在别处用过的密码。你要对你账号下 发生的一切负责,包括妥善保管你的设备。目前没有自助注销入口,需要删除请发邮件 联系我们。本 App 不保证云端数据永不丢失——请自己另外留一份存档备份。
7.2 RetroAchievements 账号
RA 是独立的第三方服务,账号由 RA 提供和管理。你和 RA 之间适用 RA 自己的条款与隐私政策,我们不是那一关系的当事方,也不对 RA 的服务、数据或判定负责。
八、第三方服务与第三方内容
本 App 会用到这些第三方服务,它们各有各的条款:
- Cloudflare——云存档的托管平台;
- RetroAchievements——成就与图标;
- libretro 封面库(thumbnails.libretro.com)——游戏盒绘;
- Apple——iOS 的文字识别与翻译框架、语言包下载。
这些服务的可用性、内容和数据处理方式由它们自己决定。它们改了、停了、或者判定 你违规,我们无法干预,也不为此负责。
本 App 基于多个开源的 libretro 模拟核心(Gambatte、SameBoy、mGBA、gpSP 等)运行, 每个核心各自带着它自己的开源许可证,其著作权属于各自的作者。完整的许可证文本 随 App 分发,请以那一份为准。
九、服务中断与免责
本 App 按「现状」提供,不附带任何形式的明示或默示担保,包括 但不限于对适销性、特定用途适用性、以及不侵权的担保。
我们不保证本 App 一定能跑你导入的每一个 ROM(模拟精度总有出入),不保证 某款游戏的某一处表现和真机完全一致,也不保证云存档、成就同步、封面抓取这些 联网功能一直可用。
在适用法律允许的最大范围内,我们不对下列损失负责:存档丢失或损坏、 游戏进度丢失、设备损坏、数据丢失、以及任何间接的、附带的、惩罚性的损失。请 自行定期备份你的存档——本 App 的存档就在 Documents 目录里,你随时可以拷出来。
某些地区的法律不允许排除某些担保或责任,这时上述排除在那一范围内不适用。 本条款不排除法律不允许排除的任何责任。
十、更新与终止
我们可以随时更新本 App,也可能随时停止分发或停止运营(包括停止云存档服务)。 重大变更我们会尽量提前在 App 内告知。
你可以随时停止使用:卸掉就行。条款在你和本 App 之间终止后,第三、四、九、十二节以及其他依其性质应当继续有效的 条款继续有效。
如果你违反了本条款,我们可以终止你对本 App 的使用许可(包括停掉你的云存档账号)。
十一、年龄
你要么已达到你所在地区法律规定的成年年龄,要么已在父母或监护人的同意和陪同下 使用本 App。云存档账号请由成年人注册。
十二、知识产权
本 App 自身的界面、图标、文案以及其他由我们创作的部分,其权利归我们所有。 App 内使用的开源组件归各自的作者,依照各自的开源许可证授权给你——那些许可证 是你直接与作者之间的约定,与本条款并存。游戏、ROM、商标、图鉴数据、精灵图 以及第三方服务内容,归各自的权利人,理由见第四、五节。
十三、条款变更与适用法律
本条款可能更新,更新后我们会改掉顶上的「最后更新」日期。继续使用即表示你接受 更新后的条款;不接受的,请停止使用并卸载本 App。
本条款适用提供者主要营业地所在地区的法律(不影响你所在地法律赋予你的强制性 消费者保护)。因本条款产生的争议,双方应先友好协商;协商不成的,提交该地区有 管辖权的法院解决。

Read this one first. FGBA is an emulator and it ships with no games — no ROM, no BIOS, no game data of any kind. You import the games yourself, and where those ROMs come from and whether they are lawful is entirely your responsibility. Import only games you own on cartridge, or that you otherwise have the legal right to use. See section 4.
1. What these terms are
These terms are an agreement between you and the provider of FGBA (the “App”). They cover how you may use the App and what each side is responsible for once you do.
Downloading, installing or using the App means you have read, understood and accepted these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must review and accept them for you.
2. How you may use it
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on your own devices, in order to:
- play games you have imported yourself;
- back up, export and organise your own save files;
- use the link feature to connect to your own other device (or your own emulator instance).
You may not:
- sell, rent or redistribute the App itself, or bundle it into another product;
- decompile, disassemble or circumvent technical protection measures (except where the law expressly permits it);
- offer the App to others as a service (for example, as part of a cloud gaming platform);
- use the App for anything unlawful — see section 6.
You may use it to play games you lawfully own, and for lawful purposes generally. But the App is only a machine, and a machine does not decide for you whether what you feed it is lawful.
3. The ROMs you import are your responsibility
The App provides a file import entry point that hands a ROM file on your device to the emulator to run. That action happens purely between you and your own device: we do not offer, host, distribute or index any ROM, and we do not know what you imported (see section 4 of the Privacy Policy — we cannot see your files at all).
Accordingly, the origin and legality of every ROM you import is entirely your responsibility.
You should import only: copies you extracted from cartridges you purchased; ROMs that are expressly redistributed lawfully (for example, public-domain works, freely licensed works, or homebrew and tech demos released by their own authors); or copies you are entitled to make and hold under the law where you live.
Downloading ROMs from piracy channels is an infringement in many countries and can expose you to civil and even criminal liability. That has nothing to do with which tool opens the file — what is unlawful is the copying and the downloading, not the emulator.
4. ROM and game copyright, spelled out
This is the most important section here. Please read it through.
4.1 The games are not ours, and not yours either (unless you bought them)
The code, art, music, story and characters of each game belong to its developers and publishers (Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures, The Pokémon Company, and others). The trademarks on the cartridges and boxes belong to their respective owners.
Buying a cartridge buys you that physical object and a licence to play it on genuine hardware, not the copyright in the game. Copyright does not transfer to you because you bought a cartridge.
4.2 What we did and did not do
- We did not ship any ROM, BIOS or game asset. With no cartridge, the App opens as an empty machine.
- We did not provide a download site, a built-in ROM search, a ROM API, or instructions on where to download ROMs. Every ROM can only be imported by you, from your own device.
- We did provide an emulator runtime. Emulation is a lawful technology in itself: it reproduces the behaviour of hardware, and it copies no game's content.
4.3 If a rights holder complains
If you are a rights holder and believe the App infringes your rights, contact us as described in section 14. There is no game content in the App to take down, but we take every complaint seriously and will stop distributing the App if that is what it takes.
4.4 Saves, screenshots and recordings
A save file contains game progress data, and that content remains subject to the original game's copyright. Playing for yourself and backing up for yourself is fine; publishing or distributing it (especially commercially) may infringe. The same goes for screenshots and recordings.
5. Pokédex data and sprites
The App bundles a Pokédex (generations I to III) for looking up types, evolutions and moves while you play. The copyright and trademark rights in that material and those sprites belong to their respective owners. The App merely collects them for identification and reference; it is not endorsed by them and claims no rights in them. The data is bundled whole and is not fetched over the network.
If you are a rights holder and object to this, contact us and we will remove or adjust the relevant content.
6. No unlawful use
When using the App you must not:
- import or distribute pirated ROMs, or help others do so with the App;
- circumvent or crack any technical protection measure or DRM;
- upload, share or publicly distribute content containing others' works (saves, screenshots, recordings) for commercial purposes;
- store unlawful content in cloud saves, or use cloud saves as general-purpose file storage;
- attack or abuse our services or third parties' services (including hammering APIs or attempting to access another person's account);
- impersonate anyone, or use the App for anything else that breaks the law where you live.
If any of this happens, we may suspend your cloud-save account without prior notice and reserve all further rights. You bear every consequence of your own unlawful conduct.
7. Optional accounts
The App's core features require no account. The following two are optional and must be enabled by you.
7.1 Cloud-save account
Provided by us (with the backend hosted on a third-party cloud platform; see section 5 of the Privacy Policy). Register with an email address you can receive mail at, and do not reuse a password you use elsewhere. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, including keeping your device safe. There is currently no self-service account deletion; email us to delete it. We do not guarantee that cloud data will never be lost — keep your own separate backup of your saves.
7.2 RetroAchievements account
RA is an independent third-party service; its accounts are provided and managed by RA. Your relationship with RA is governed by RA's own terms and privacy policy. We are not a party to it and are not responsible for RA's service, data or decisions.
8. Third-party services and content
The App uses these third-party services, each with its own terms:
- Cloudflare — hosting for cloud saves;
- RetroAchievements — achievements and icons;
- The libretro thumbnail library (thumbnails.libretro.com) — box art;
- Apple — the iOS text-recognition and translation frameworks and language-pack downloads.
The availability, content and data handling of those services are up to them. If they change, shut down, or decide you have breached their rules, we cannot intervene and are not responsible.
The App runs on several open-source libretro emulation cores (Gambatte, SameBoy, mGBA, gpSP and others). Each core carries its own open-source licence and belongs to its own authors. The full licence texts ship with the App; those are the authoritative copies.
9. Interruptions and disclaimers
The App is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
We do not promise that the App will run every ROM you import (emulation accuracy is never perfect), that any given game will behave exactly as it does on real hardware, or that the networked features — cloud saves, achievement sync, cover fetching — will always be available.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for: lost or corrupted save files, lost game progress, damaged devices, lost data, or any indirect, incidental or punitive losses. Back your saves up regularly — they live in the Documents directory and you can copy them out at any time.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties or liabilities to be excluded; in that case the exclusions above do not apply to that extent. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Updates and termination
We may update the App at any time, and may stop distributing or operating it (including the cloud-save service) at any time. For material changes we will try to give notice in the App beforehand.
You may stop using the App at any time: just uninstall it. After these terms end between you and the App, sections 3, 4, 9 and 12, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, continue to apply.
If you breach these terms, we may terminate your licence to use the App (including suspending your cloud-save account).
11. Age
You must either be of the age of majority where you live, or use the App with the consent and involvement of a parent or guardian. A cloud-save account should be registered by an adult.
12. Intellectual property
The App's own interface, icons, wording and other parts we created belong to us. Open-source components used in the App belong to their authors and are licensed to you under their own open-source licences — those licences are an agreement directly between you and the authors and sit alongside these terms. Games, ROMs, trademarks, Pokédex data, sprites and third-party service content belong to their respective owners, for the reasons in sections 4 and 5.
13. Changes and governing law
These terms may be updated; when they are, we will change the “last updated” date at the top. Continued use means you accept the updated terms; if you do not accept them, stop using the App and uninstall it.
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the provider is established (without affecting the mandatory consumer protections of the law where you live). Disputes arising from these terms should first be raised with us directly; if that fails, they go to the competent courts of that jurisdiction.
These terms are written in both Chinese and English, and both texts have equal effect; in case of ambiguity, the Chinese text prevails.
