Ad-free retro emulator and ROM library for Android, Windows, and Linux with no-setup multiplayer lobbies, voice chat, instant replays, saves, and 14+ systems.
Hey Product Hunt, I’m Casey, the builder behind ShadowBoy.
ShadowBoy is a modern retro emulator for Android and desktop, built around making emulation easier to use: add your games, play, manage your library, use save states, cheats, shaders, controller profiles, and more without a complicated setup process.
The desktop app also includes cloud-style online multiplayer, so friends can play together without LAN/VPN setup.
I built ShadowBoy because I wanted retro gaming to feel polished, approachable, and social while still giving power users the tools they expect.
Would love feedback from the community, especially on onboarding, multiplayer, and what features you’d want next.
