The Browser Limit
We love the web. It's accessible, instant, and works everywhere. But for high-fidelity retro gaming and seamless streaming, the browser has limitations:
- Controller Support: While the Gamepad API is good, native drivers offer lower latency.
- File Access: Loading large ROM libraries from your local disk is faster with a native app.
- Streaming: To broadcast your gameplay to Arcade-Verse without OBS, we need deeper system access than a browser tab allows.
Enter EMP Live
EMP Live is our answer. It's a lightweight desktop client that connects directly to your Arcade-Verse account.
- One-Click Stream: Go live on your profile instantly.
- Local Library: Scan your folder of ROMs and play them with our optimized emulators.
Download the client at emp-live.com.
