Zaparoo vs RetroAchievementsUI

Save your games to NFC cards and launch them with a tap. Zaparoo App is the companion app for Zaparoo Core, the free software that launches games from NFC cards, QR codes, and barcodes on your MiSTer, PC, handheld, or media device. Use it to write cards, browse your library, launch games, and control what's playing. ZAP • Use your phone as a reader. Scan NFC tags, QR codes, and barcodes with your phone and launch them on your device (requires Pro) • See what's playing, with pause, stop, and playlist controls, and favorite, like, dislike, or save a game for later • Use the on-screen remote and keyboard to control your device • Rearrange the Zap page, hide what you don't use, add buttons that run any ZapScript, and add rows of games from a collection or deck. Each device keeps its own layout • On iPad, go full screen to leave the Zap page up as a display LIBRARY • Browse every system and folder on your device, or search across all of them • See artwork, descriptions, and release details. The system, year, developer, genre, and region each open a search for more like it • Favorites, Liked, Disliked, and Play later collections, plus Recently played and Top played • Build decks of games and cards, reorder them, play them as a playlist, or write them to a tag CREATE • Search your library and write a game to an NFC tag • Build custom ZapScript one step at a time, or edit it as text • Manage mappings for NFC toys and barcodes, and read, format, or erase tags with the NFC tools SETTINGS AND DEVICES • Find Zaparoo devices on your network, or add one by IP address, and switch between them in one sheet • Set playtime limits and a launch guard, and use profiles • Layouts made for both iPhone and iPad • Choose a light, dark, or system theme and adjust text size. VoiceOver and reduced motion are supported WHAT YOU NEED Zaparoo Core running on your device. Managing Core, browsing your library, and writing tags are always free. Using your phone as a reader (NFC, camera, barcodes, and shake to launch) is a one-time Pro purchase. Some features need a recent Core. Recently played and Top played need Core 2.12 or newer. Liked, Disliked, Play later, and decks need Core 2.18 or newer. Zaparoo is open source. Docs and support are at zaparoo.org.
