What is Phoenix?

Phoenix is a multi-system emulator and library manager designed to be both powerful and easy to use. Powered by Qt 5 and Libretro, it is available on Windows, OS X and Linux. Free now and forever under GPL v2.

We've designed Phoenix with the hope that it'll be perfect for everyone, whether you're someone who hardly plays videogames, a hardcore gamer, a speedrunner, or even a homebrew programmer!

Powerful library system

We've made it easy to organize your game collection. Have a massive, multi-gigabyte backup archive? Phoenix will easily chew through it, downloading high-quality cover art and game information along with automatically grouping multiple regions and versions of a game into a single library entry.

If you need additional files to run a game, we will let you know and point you in the right direction. No confusing error messages!

Coming soon...

High-performance

We've extensively studied techniques used by other frontends (along with our own work) to get the absolute best possible emulation performance and accuracy. The end result is a smooth, low-latency experience even a speedrunner will love.

Coming soon...

Developers wanted

We are in need of developers of all types to assist on the project, whether you're a C/C++ programmer, Qt expert, web designer, UI designer, or even a proofreader, we need you!
