Old hardware. New possibilities.
Independent homebrew development for PlayStation 2 · PlayStation 1 · Game Boy Advance · and beyond.
Casket Labs is an independent homebrew development studio focused on bringing new software to classic consoles. We build and adapt games, applications, and developer tools for systems that still have plenty of life left in them.
We care about the experience on the actual hardware: thoughtful controls, practical performance, solid compatibility, and software people can enjoy using.
