TL;DR
- Socket is an emulator frontend that turns your ROM files into 3D cartridges and game discs.
- It also features platform-specific cartridge insertion animations.
- The app isn’t out yet, but an alpha build is expected in around a month.
Playing old games on emulators can be incredibly fun, and there are many excellent handheld gaming consoles dedicated to this. However, if you’ve been missing the experience of rummaging through your collection of cartridges and game discs to choose what to play, a new emulator frontend could soon bring back that feeling.
Retrododo found a new emulator frontend called Socket that aims to give “your favorite games the focus and love they deserve.”
