5 New Platforms Just Landed in the LaunchBox Games Database! 🎉

[AstroBob]

Hi Folks,

We’ve just added five new platforms to the LaunchBox Games Database. Whether you’re building a modern collection or exploring homebrew gems, these platforms have been long overdue, with many more on the way:

 

🕹 Nintendo Switch 2 – Nintendo’s next-gen console is here, and we’re ready for it! Get a head start on organizing your Switch 2 library as the platform evolves.

🧩 WASM-4 – A WebAssembly-based fantasy console designed for tiny retro-style games. Perfect for devs and players who love creative limitations.

📺 Uzebox – An open-source 8-bit game console built around an AVR microcontroller. It’s a DIY dream for retro gaming enthusiasts.

🎮 Arduboy – A credit card-sized handheld with an open-source game library and a huge heart for minimalism and charm.

🧠 Elektor TV Games Computer – A blast from the past! This 1970s programmable system offered early glimpses of what home gaming could be.

 

While the number of listed games for these platforms is low right now, we’re confident they’ll quickly fill out as the community begins submitting their entries. So get those entires in! 😊

With the addition of these platforms, the database now supports all currently supported platforms from RetroAchievements! We’ve got some exciting RetroAchievements updates coming in version 13.22—so now you can finally enjoy full support for all of these platforms in LaunchBox.

 

Happy gaming! 🎮

Thanks for adding these platforms. Now our RA collections will be fully complete! 😊😊

By the way, do these platforms have a developer company (like Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Philips, etc.)? On the other platforms, I have the "full" name added, and seeing these with just one name gives me a bit of OCD. 😅

If not, there's always....

Agreed that it's nice to have the full suite of RetroAchievement's platforms now in the database, especially giving the exciting new RA improvements in 13.22.

Regarding the names, apart from the Elektor TV Games Computer & Nintendo Switch 2, the other 3 are all fantasy consoles. In other words, homebrew projects without a dedicated development company like a Sony or Nintendo attached to them, so this is how they are generally referred to online and also on the RetroAchievements site.

If you want to change the platform name, though, you can edit the platform's name within LaunchBox if you'd like to add some additional information to it.
