Library

Retro Games

Your game collection, with cover art, playable on any screen.

Point Ampchor at your ROMs and it recognizes each game by its fingerprint, the same way it does your movies, then gives it cover art and details. Your game shelf looks as good as the rest of your library, with no separate game manager to run alongside it.

It plays 21 classic consoles, from the NES and Game Boy to the PlayStation and Dreamcast, with real emulator cores built into the app, not a browser. Play right on your computer, or pick up your phone and play with a controller from anywhere in the house. Your TV can join in too, in beta for now.

Newer systems it can't play yet, like PS2, PSP, GameCube, Wii, Switch and Xbox, are still organized with cover art, ready for when they land. One app for your movies, your music and your games. Free at home, no ads, no account.
