Firelight Emulator
A downloadable tool
Firelight is an upcoming libretro-based emulation frontend that will allow you to play your favorite legally-obtained retro games on a platform that gives you everything you'd expect from a modern application, plus more! Along with the features you love like save states, fast-forward, and rewind, here are some of Firelight's key features:
- A built-in ROM hack browser that allows you to find, download, and play ROM hacks with the press of a button. You can also drop in your own patches and Firelight will associate it with the correct ROM add it to your library.
- Easy, powerful library management that automatically picks up changes you make to your files and directories, lets you create your own folders, and lets you easily see your new games.
- Safer save files keep track of your save data even if you rename your ROM, move it to an entirely different directory, or remove it and re-add it later. No more having to match exact filenames!
You can look forward to all of this stuff, too:
- Controller mapping profiles that are super easy to customize
- Drag and drop controller reordering
- Multiple save slots for every game
- A home menu with custom widgets, including "Open Last Played", "Play Random <platform> Game", and a lot more
- Activity log! Remember the 3DS and Wii U activity log? That's basically what you'll get to see :)
- Settings per platform and game
But wait, there's more! These things are a bit further out, but they're on the roadmap!
- RetroAchievements support
- Netplay for every platform - play local multiplayer games over the internet!
- Discord Rich Presence (you'll be able to invite people for netplay via Discord, too)
- Randomizers integrated directly in the app
- Plugins for specific games - maybe you'd like to see your party in Pokemon without having to open the game...?
Firelight is currently in alpha, and you can check out the releases here: https://github.com/firelight-emulator/firelight/tags
