Here's a simple breakdown of the app Gamu: Retro Game Hub (sometimes written "Gama" by mistake) - what it is, what it does, how to install it, and what you should keep in mind.
About

-
It supports many different retro game formats in one unified platform.
-
Supports external controllers / gamepads, has library organisation, and offers features like quick save/load.

In short: If you want to relive older console or arcade games on your Android device, this app gives a "hub" / launcher + emulator style experience.
Features
Here are some of the main features in simpler terms:
-
Lets you scan your game files and organise them into a library rather than having to browse folders manually.
-
Supports zipped game files (.zip) so you don't always need to extract them.
-
Provides "quick save" and "quick load" so you can save game at any point & jump back later.
-
Visual display filters: you can make games look like old CRT screens or add scan lines for a more retro feel.
-
External controller / gamepad support: if you plug in a Bluetooth controller or connect via USB, it should work.
-
Cloud‐save support (in some versions or via certain features) so you don't lose your progress if you switch device.
-
Local multiplayer support (on one device with multiple controllers) for some of the retro games.
What's New in Latest Version
According to sources:
-
The version listed 3.3 (for example) was updated on Oct 2, 2025 (or around that date) with "minor bug fixes and improvements".
-
Earlier versions (3.2, 3.2.1) also had improvements; the developer keeps releasing updates to fix issues and improve compatibility.
So if you're installing right now, make sure you get the most recent version to benefit from fixes.
How to Download & Install
Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
-
On your Android device, open the Google Play Store (or a trusted app store).
-
Search for "Gamu: Retro Game Hub" (package name:
-
Tap "Install" and wait for the download & installation to complete.
-
After installing, open the app and grant any permissions it requests (e.g., to access device storage so it can find your game files).
-
Load your legally-acquired game files (ROMs / ISOs) into a folder on your device. In the app, scan / add that folder so the games appear in the library.
-
Configure controls (touch screen vs external controller) and optionally set up visual filters.
-
Start playing! Use quick save/load features to save progress.
Important Notes:
-
Make sure your Android version meets the app's requirement (some sites note Android 7.0 +).
-
Use legal game files only. The app does not supply games for you.
-
If the app is not from the Play Store (i.e., an APK from another site), be cautious: ensure you use a reputable source and scan for malware.
-
After installation, you may need to go to "Settings → Security" on your Android and enable installation of apps from "Unknown sources" only if you're sideloading. But using Google Play is safer.
Conclusion
In simple language: If you loved playing old console or arcade games and want to bring that fun to your Android device, Gamu: Retro Game Hub is a solid option. It bundles many emulator-type features (controllers, save states, filters) in one app and seems to be actively developed.
However, a few caveats:
-
You'll still need to have the game files legally (ROMs/ISOs).
-
The performance and compatibility will depend on your device (older phones may struggle).
-
Be careful about where you download the APK if you go outside the official store, and always check permissions.
-
Because emulation and game file legality are sometimes gray in many countries, check your local laws.
