Try https://afterplay.io it’s cross platform, saves every 20 seconds and keeps your last 50 saves which you can recover from if anything goes wrong

Re:Retro Boy: simple Game Boy emulator written in Rust, can be played ... on Friday March 21, 2025 @07:29AM (#43434380)
Really love seeing more Game Boy emulators written in Rust, especially with browser support — awesome project!

If you're into this space, I’ve been building https://afterplay.io — a browser-based retro gaming platform with support for a bunch of systems (GB,GBC, GBA, SNES, NDS, PS1, etc). It runs entirely in the browser with save states, cloud sync, and native mobile support via Capacitor.

Also has some fun stuff like netplay (multiplayer over the web), Link Cable Support and RTC manipulation, and customisable touch controls.

Always exciting to see more emulators pushing what’s possible on the web.

I know right! I run a freemium B2C app and I get users telling me this all the time. It's so ridiculous. No one is forcing anyone to use the software. Go write your own version and give it away for free.

This is super cool! What motivated you to build it? What do you feel it offers over other habit tracking apps :)

This is very cool!

This is really cool! Did you compile the emulators to web assembly?

I made this as a side project. Hope you enjoy it :)
