Your retro games
drive your stream

Beat a boss, lose your rings, break a record — your overlays, lights and viewers react live to what happens in the game. 14,000+ retro games ready to play, zero setup.

Moments your chat will remember

Every game moment can become a show moment — automatically, the second it happens on screen.

💀

Death roulette

You died? A roulette spins on screen and picks a challenge. Your chat decides your fate.

👑

Boss hype meter

The boss shows up — a hype meter rises with every hit until the final blow explodes on stream.

🪙

Coin rain

Grab a coin, an emerald, a power-up — it rains on your overlay while chat watches the combo grow.

❤️

Low-health panic

One heart left: the screen shakes, the lights turn red, and everybody holds their breath with you.

🏁

Record chase

Your chat sees the high score getting closer in real time — and celebrates the exact frame you beat it.

Level clear celebration

Stage cleared: confetti, fanfare, stats of the run — without you touching anything.

Your gameplay becomes your show

Generic streaming tools react to follows and chat. Retro Creator reacts to the game itself.

🎨

Visual designer

Compose overlays with ready-made widgets — score, timer, now playing, boxart, achievement popups, input viewer. Drag, resize, style. Zero code.

Real gameplay data

Live score, lives, level timers and RetroAchievements read straight from the emulator through APIExpose. Your overlay updates the instant the game does.

📺

Works with your setup

Overlays are served locally as standard browser sources — compatible with OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, Meld Studio and any software that renders web pages.

🤖

Live automations

A high score or an achievement can trigger your existing tools: Streamer.bot, Stream Deck, Touch Portal, Discord, webhooks, MQTT / Home Assistant.

🔒

Local first

No account, no cloud required. Everything runs on your machine and your data stays there.

🌍

English & French

Fully localized interface, with more languages planned.

It already knows your games

Launch a game — Retro Creator already knows its moments. No per-game setup, no capture tricks: the game itself tells your stream what just happened.

The game drives your stream

🕹️

14,000+ games ready

From NES to Dreamcast, the moments of more than 14,000 games are already mapped and ready to trigger your effects.

📚

57 consoles covered

Home consoles, handhelds and arcade — one tool for your whole retro library.

🧩

Only real moments

The editor only offers moments that actually exist in the game you are playing — what you pick is what will fire.

Live Contests: your viewers play at home

Turn your stream into a real competition: your viewers launch the same retro game on their own PC, and their real gameplay feeds your live leaderboard.

From the controller to the live leaderboard

🎟️

One !command in chat

Viewers type your !command, the bot replies with a personal short link. They confirm with Twitch — their game launches at home automatically, pauses on the starting line, and your dashboard counts who is ready.

🚦

Synchronized start

A big in-game 5-4-3-2-1 countdown, then GO: every player starts at the same millisecond. First to the target, best score, time attack or survival — objectives are built on the game's real memory signals.

🏆

Live standings & results

Race times and scores update live, finishers exit automatically, and you get a CSV export plus a stable JSON feed to display the podium right in your overlays.

You may be wondering…

Is it complicated?

No. Install, launch a game, add one browser source to OBS — your first live overlay in five minutes. No code, no capture setup.

Are my games covered?

14,000+ games ship ready across 57 consoles — and the editor only offers moments that really exist in the game you are playing. Playing something rarer? A companion tool lets you teach it that game's moments while you play, and share them with the community.

Does it work with my streaming software?

OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, Meld Studio — anything that can display a web page. Your lights and tools (Stream Deck, Streamer.bot, Discord…) can react too.

I don't stream retro every day…

Demo mode lets you design and rehearse everything without a game running — and the free Lite edition has no time limit.
