Welcome to Netcade

Use Private Browsing

For the best multiplayer experience, open Netcade in an incognito or private browser window.

Why is this needed?

Private browsing prevents browser extensions and settings from blocking the video streaming technology we use for multiplayer.

What is WebRTC?

WebRTC is the technology that lets your browser share video directly with your friends - like a video call, but for gaming! Some browser extensions or privacy settings can accidentally block this, which is why private browsing helps.

  • Chrome/Edge: Press Ctrl+Shift+N (or Cmd+Shift+N on Mac)
  • Safari: Press Cmd+Shift+N
  • Firefox: Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac)

Getting Started

Netcade is a multi-console emulator that runs right in your browser. Play N64, SNES, and Genesis games! Here's how to use it:

  • Library Tab: Browse and select games to play. We include some free homebrew games to get you started!
  • Upload Games: Add N64, SNES, or Genesis ROMs (.zip supported)
  • Controls Tab: Customize your keyboard or gamepad controls
  • Play: Click any game card to start playing instantly!

Play With Friends

Netcade supports up to 4 players online! There are two ways to play:

Host Mode

Create a room and share the code with friends. You run the game, and your screen is streamed to everyone else in real-time.

Guest Mode

Join with a room code to watch the host's stream and send your controller inputs. No emulator needed on your device!

Pro Tips

Get the most out of Netcade with these tips:

  • USB gamepads work great! Just plug in and configure in the Controls tab
  • On mobile, touch controls appear automatically when playing
  • Multiplayer rooms close after 5 minutes if you're alone
  • Your game saves are stored in your browser - don't clear your cache!
