| Now introducing the Xbox 360 Digital Vault! In November 2005 the Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Live Indie Games launched for the Xbox 360, offering downloadable games and addons/DLC available exclusively online. Arcade games are playable with Xenia Canary, now in the Emulation Lair, though Indie Games aren't supported yet. Screen shots of all working Arcade titles will be added over the coming weeks. The Indie Games marketplace closed in October 2017 followed by the Arcade in July 2024, leaving no official way to get these games. |
| Now introducing the Nintendo 3DS Vault! Launched in February 2011, the Nintendo 3DS was the successor to the Nintendo DS and featured glasses-free 3D and full backward compatibility with DS games. It was followed in October 2014 by the New Nintendo 3DS, a mid-gen upgrade with more power and additional buttons. All models were discontinued on September 16, 2020.
The 3DS emulators Azahar and AzaharPlus have also been added to the Emulation Lair. |
| Now introducing two new Vaults, the Atari Jaguar and Atari Jaguar CD! Launched in 1993 the Jaguar was Atari's final gaming console with a grand total of 50 licensed games. The Jaguar CD peripheral followed in 1995 with a final library of 13 games. All 63 titles (and more) are now available in The Vault. The Jaguar emulator BigPEmu is also available in the Emulation Lair. |
