I made trading with friends or yourself possible
Hey guys,
I’ve been working on a project called Foxol and wanted to share it here. It’s a cloud first emulator platform that tries to make retro gaming feel a bit more modern and connected.
One thing that always bothered me about emulation is how isolated it feels. Even with games that were designed to be social, like Pokémon or Mario Kart, it’s usually a hassle or just not possible to actually play together.
With Foxol, you can just log in and start playing on pretty much any device like your phone, laptop, tablet or browser. Everything is saved in the cloud, so you can switch devices anytime and continue where you left off.
Some of the things it supports:
* Multiplayer across different devices
* Cloud saves and save states
* Multiple save profiles for different playthroughs
* Pokémon features like trading with others or even with yourself
Foxol also supports trading between many ROM hacks and original Pokémon games. Some ROM hacks disable trading entirely or make changes that break compatibility, so it won’t work with every hack.
There’s quite a bit more built in as well, like save editing and ROM patching directly in your library, but these are some of the main highlights.
I'm still actively working on it, so feedback is more than welcome. Curious what you all think or what you’d want to see added.
