Rec0m88.
The Rec0m88 retro gaming emulator, with WebRTC netplay, local Nintendo DS link play, and RetroAchievements built in. Now with GameCube and Wii support. Auto-scan your library, pull cores on demand, and play cross-platform on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Xbox Series X|S.
Built for playing together
Rec0m88 treats multiplayer, achievements, and library management as core features rather than add-ons — all of it shipping in a single free install.
Cross-platform Rec0m88 netplay
Play with friends no matter what hardware they own. Rec0m88 opens a direct WebRTC connection between players — no relay server in the middle and no router settings to touch. Host a game on your PC and have friends join from their Xbox, Mac, or Linux machine, or browse active sessions in the Live Lobby and jump straight in.
Local Nintendo DS link play works between machines too — Rec0m88 tunnels the DS wireless link layer over the same WebRTC connection.
Explore Rec0m88 netplayRetroAchievements, natively
Prove your skills and track your mastery of the classics. Rec0m88 integrates with RetroAchievements directly — no separate client, no manual setup.
