Socket is easy! #retrogaming #emulation #aynthor

@tabor_bachelor Thanks! Means a lot!

@depmots had to zoom in twice to confirm that wasn't an actual photo, the shading alone is insane

Man i love this trend of realism 👀

@layle_ctf For now i’ve just purchased them on various model stores

@depmots Also, while I'm at it. Can you share where you get the 3D models from, ideally a concrete source (if you can/want to share)? I'm learning 3D modeling as I go and I'm... struggling. So if there's a cool source to tap into with a license such as CC that'd be cool!

Damn I've actually been working on a similar UI for my multi system emulator's main launcher (for TV mode). It looks so cool! Making it has been a nightmare tho. It's extremely difficult to find high quality scans of the stickers...

@layle_ctf Still working on it but i’ve tried to make it as frictionless for the user to adjust x.com/depmots/status…

@depmots How do you deal with inconsistencies? Do you have a specific template you "crop" out and call it a day? Secret of Mana, German and US version respectively

@layle_ctf Yep me too! I just get them from screenscraper!

@depmots Maybe you can share your secrets? I've been getting them from the screenscraper API and scanning them myself irl so far

@NotHuman20020 It’s called Socket! Discord in bio!

@depmots Whats that front-end ‼️‼️

@Ihaveopinions54 Haha yeah haven’t gotten to tracking duration yet (if i did it’d still say 0 minutes 😅)

@depmots Zero minutes on any of these games btw

@popcorncheek Yeah, it has so much more character

@depmots I know I’m so glad we’re steering away from too much minimalism! Bring back 3D and life and textures!

@KabeMais Thanks it means a lot!

@depmots I want a Ayn Thor just to use this HUD, wow!

Per popular request! #aynthor #gaming #retro #pokemon

@ATBTactician Thabk you!

@depmots Looking amazing

@gilthecaptain Thanks!

@depmots I ordered my Thor a few weeks ago and I’m super excited to download this when it gets here!!

@PremierBaller i'll have to check its copyright haha

@depmots please let this music be included lol perfect

Tried a few materials for Socket ! #aynthor #retro #emulation

@Axell1399 Follow on discord, i want to release the alpha in less than a month

@depmots Releasing date? 🥹🥹

@coffeefrown I would like to!

@depmots this may be a dumb question though do you think this will be compatible with the retroid Nova in the future? or other 4:3 devices

The animations on the UI of socket are very tastefully done. You can tell they care about motion design. Wonder if it's physics/spring based or bezier curves.

Added new customization options to Socket! #retrogaming #emulation #aynthor

@SteamDeckHQ @LinuxMostly Indeed! Yes cocoon is a separate app so there’s no compatibility

@LinuxMostly This is running on an AYN Thor! And no, the first alpha will be out next month. As for Cocoon compatibility, we would have to ask @depmots. However, I believe they are both separate frontends.

Socket is an upcoming graphical frontend for emulation libraries that focuses on cartridge and disc artwork, and it will most likely come to the #SteamDeck: steamdeckhq.com/socket-is-a-ca…
