About RetroCombo

What the site does

It turns your browser into a game console: pick the console, open a game that's already on your device and play right there.

Your files stay with you

The site comes with no games or BIOS files: you open the ones already on your device. The file is read by the browser and isn't sent to any server: the site has no address that receives files.

Privacy

No sign-up, no ads, and no tracking. Saves, settings and the last 5 games you opened stay in your browser's storage, on this device, and can be erased by clearing the site's data.

Play online

In an online room, everyone plays their own copy on their own device, and the site checks that everyone opened the same game. Only the buttons pressed travel between players: the game file is never sent to anyone.

Players in a room connect directly, device to device, so anyone in the same room can see the others’ IP address. Only play online with people you know. To help you find each other, the site uses public third-party services that only see protected data. Buttons, chat and voice never go through our server and are never stored.

In an open room, the host approves each person who asks to join and can remove anyone. The microphone starts off.
