Hey everyone, I wanted to share RetroAssembly, the project I've been working on to you.

What is RetroAssembly?

It's a web-based personal game cabinet that lets you organize and play classic console games directly in your browser. Upload your ROMs once, play anywhere on any device with a web browser.

Key Features:

  • Supports NES, SNES, Genesis, GameBoy, Arcade, and more
  • Auto-detects and displays beautiful box art for your games
  • Save and sync your progress, resume anytime
  • Navigate your library with keyboard or gamepad (spatial navigation)
  • Built-in retro-style shaders
  • On-screen virtual controller for mobile play

Getting Started

Docker deployment is dead simple:

sh docker run -d --name retroassembly -p 8000:8000 -v /path/to/your/data:/app/data arianrhodsandlot/retroassembly

There's also a hosted version at retroassembly.com if you just want to try it out, but having your own instance means complete control over your retro gaming collection.

Anyone been looking for a good self-hosted retro gaming solution? Would love to hear your thoughts!
