Point it at RetroArch
It finds your existing RetroArch playlists on device. No re-importing, no moving ROMs around.
iPhone beta
Your RetroArch library, back in its box
RetroSockets reads your RetroArch collection and rebuilds it as things you can pick up: cartridges, discs. Sorted by console, covers filled in for you.

Setup
Three steps, then it's just a shelf
You point RetroSockets at RetroArch once. Everything after that happens on its own.
Let it sync
Every title gets matched, sorted into its console, and given box art from ScreenScraper. You tag nothing by hand.
Pick up a cartridge
Browse the shelf, grab a game, and it hands off straight to RetroArch to play.
What's inside
Built for the way the shelf used to look
RetroArch sync
Reads your RetroArch library directly and keeps up as the collection grows.
Cartridges and discs
Each console gets the media it shipped on, rendered as real objects instead of tiles.
Universal controller support
Every controller works here. Browse the whole shelf without touching the screen.
Cover art scraping
ScreenScraper fills in artwork while the library syncs, so nothing sits on the shelf blank.
Sorted by console
Games land in the right shelf on their own. No folders to build, no collections to maintain.
Recolour your shells
Give a cartridge a green shell or a red one. Small change, but the shelf becomes yours.
