About this game

Hey you, PLAYER 1... I want you to ask yourself:

* Are you a gamer that has multiple systems and a collection of retro games?
* Do you have emulator apps on your Android device?
* Do you enjoy playing those retro games as ROM backups using your favorite emulator apps?
* Do you wish you had one Android app to collect and display all of those systems and sweet retro games in a beautiful customizable UI allowing you to pick your favorite artwork, screenshots, logos, box art, and more, and be the envy of all of the kids on your block!

If you answered yes to all of those questions, then "GET READY PLAYER 1" for RESET Collection!

RESET Collection is an emulation frontend that can pull art assets and game info from an online video game database for your retro game collection that you have backed-up as ROMs on your Android device. You can then pick which of the artwork, screenshots, and box art you want to display.

If you already have videos and box art, screenshot, and logo images of your games that you downloaded using your PC and retro gaming video and image downloading software (such as Skraper), then you can move those media files located in the folders with your ROMs anywhere on your device's storage. You can then set your saved media as box art and backdrops for each of your games and systems by selecting "Set artwork/video snap for all games" from the system menu of any of your collections!

Now you can sit back, relax, and scroll through your awesome collection of retro games. When you're ready to play a game, SELECT it to launch it with your favorite emulator installed on your device!

Don't know what game to play? Let RESET handle it for you with the PLAY RANDOM GAME option! You can even filter the random games by system, date, genre, and title keyword!

If you choose an emulator that isn't installed on your device, RESET Collection will take you to the Play Store page of that app. NOTE: Some apps may no longer exist on the Play Store, but will remain supported in RESET Collection for those that still user those emulators on their devices.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND TIPS FROM THE DEVELOPER:

* The game screenshots displayed in this Play Store listing are not from games intended for play with the displayed system. They're shown for promotional purposes only, as they are games with art images that are free to use.

* For best results when downloading game data and artwork from the online database, please make sure your game file names match the original game name. As a good rule, match the game name to its name on popular online video game databases and wikis.

* My goal is to keep the UI and user experience as streamlined and simple as possible, and in this pursuit I might be missing some features that you really want. As I hear from the community on these desired features, I'll make sure to add them in future RESET Collection updates.

* I'm trying my best to have all of the included emulator options tested and working perfectly! I appreciate all suggestions on missing emulators, and I thank you for your patience as I add supported emulators, as well as fixing any emulators that may not be launching perfectly.

* Supports touch screen and gamepad navigation! But some things to consider:
# To bring up the game/system menu:
- For touch, long press the system or game box art
- For gamepad, hold down the action button
# To scroll the game description:
- For touch, swipe up and down
- For gamepad, use the shoulder buttons (L and R)

* Please send an email or join the RESET Collection Discord to give feedback, request a new feature, or get some help with your RESET Collection! Email and Discord link can be found by visiting the RESET Collection website.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent front end that I've been using for my Ayn Odin. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to read games from multiple folders. For example, I store the bulk of my PS2 games on an SD card, but a few are on internal storage since they run slightly better. The launcher can only read games from one folder, so each time I want to play something on local storage I have to change the folder settings.

I can't add any systems. When i try to access my external drive for the rom path by clicking "emulated" it freezes. Drive is recognized by all other Android TV apps. Dev does this application support NTFS file system? *Updated* Reinstalled and no longer had the same issue. Overall it's good just a bit slow at times with random behavior in the menu. Good solid foundation to build off though.

This is my launcher of choice for the Retroid Pocket 2+, works great, good scraper, little to no configuration problems. The only things I would change are the banner size at the top (it takes up a ton of screen space) and the ability to add our own emulators to the list of ones that the system launches by default. Case-in-point, RP2+ ships with a custom version of the Dolphin emulator found here on the Play store, one that adds a bunch of features specifically for the RP2+ handheld. But if I try and launch a Gamecube or Wii game, RESET doesn't recognize the Dolphin app I already have, it wants me to either use the default Dolphin app or RetroArch, there's no option to add another app. It's not that important now, but as new emulators pop up daily, the ability to add new apps to target would be nice.

- Fixed an issue where many users were not able to scrape games and download images.
- Fixed an issue where Atari 7800 images were being scraped for the Atari Jaguar system.
- Fixed an issue that adding games without scraping required an internet connection. Now you can add games without scraping when the device has no network connectivity.
