How I setup my whole RetroBat installation with all the roms in the right places.
For months I couldn't setup my laserdisc games collection on RetroBat ( yeah the emulator Frontend) because Daphne, Hypseus and Singe are so confusing ( at least to me). One accept some games, one accepts the others, differents folders structures and other confusing stuff.
Two weeks ago, i decided to get my first Claude Pro subscription after hearing so much about it. I installed Claude Desktop, got to the "Cowork" tab and started my first chat.
I gave him access to my RetroBat folder, my Laserdiscs games folder, another folder full of Mame, Teknoparrot and many more zips, gave him access to the retrobat wiki via the "Claude in Chrome " extension and basically wrote " Hey Claude, set all that shit in right place" and after a few minutes everything was unzipped, moved , folders created and renamed as needed the relevant config files were modified accordlingly. And running !
And now I've published a little game on itch.io and I'm still vibing on it. All the game is contained in a single HTML file and there's an OGG file that's used for the ambient soundtrack ( even the audio FX is controled in the HTML )
And it just worked 😄
It may not be an awesome SaaS or an amazing MCP but that's my "OK, what the AI is doing here is really insane" moment .
Strike the Earth — but make it a factory. ASCII automation game, free in browser.
Built an ASCII factory automation game in the spirit of Dwarf Fortress —
procedural fortresses, flavor text, CRT phosphor aesthetic,
and a victory screen with Matrix rain.
The coal update just dropped: furnaces now need fuel,
coal patches are active resources, underground belts let you
route around obstacles. The factory layout puzzle is getting interesting.
One HTML file. Free. Shareable seeds.

Armok approves of throughput.
Has anyone but me tried setting up a frontend with Claude Cowork ?
I just tried it to setup some pretty confusing (I'm looking at you Daphne/Hypseus/Singe or whatever !!) emulators in RetroBat and it also did wonders when moving around/unzipping and setting up in the right places a LOT of roms.
