Emulation
63 systems. 47 of them run on cores loaded straight into the application; the remaining 16 hand off to a standalone emulator the app installs and configures for you.
Cores run inside the app
libretro cores load directly into the process, so there is no second window and no separate configuration to keep in step. Hardware-rendered cores get a real OpenGL context. Cores download on demand — you pick the system, the app fetches what it needs.
Modern consoles use the real thing
For newer hardware the app fetches the established standalone emulator from its own official source, unpacks it, and launches it with the right arguments: Dolphin, Azahar (3DS), melonDS, Cemu, Ryujinx (Ryubing), PPSSPP, Vita3K, RPCS3, DuckStation, PCSX2, Flycast, xemu, Xenia (Canary), BigPEmu, TeknoParrot. These are desktop-only — Android and iOS cannot launch downloaded desktop executables.
Every game, with its artwork
Box art, logos, screen art and descriptions are matched to your ROMs automatically, along with when you last played something and for how long.
Controllers
Gamepads are handled through SDL2 with hot-plug, so a pad connected mid-session just works. Four player ports, each with its own controller and keyboard mapping, plus rumble and adjustable turbo per button. Save and load states from the transport bar, and sync those saves between machines.
Every system
EverythingBox ships no games and no BIOS files. It runs what you already own.
