FX Games - Universal Emulator for XenForo: Retro Games, Cloud Saves & TikTok LIVE 1.1.1

A universal retro emulator for your XenForo forum​

FX Games adds a catalog of classic games that your members play right in the browser, with cloud saves, leaderboards, levels and a TikTok LIVE mode so their audience can play along. You upload the games; members play them. No third-party accounts and no per-user fees.

Features​

• 16 systems: 15 through EmulatorJS (NES, SNES, Game Boy / Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive / Genesis, Sega CD, PC Engine, Atari 2600, Arcade, PlayStation, PSP) plus experimental PS2 through Play!.
• Cloud saves: 1-6 slots per game and member, with screenshots. Each member only sees their own saves, on any device.
• Progression: XP per minute played, levels, daily streaks, 12 achievements, play time and game ratings.
• Leaderboards: Today / Week / Month / All time, global and per game.
• Cheat library: 185 ready-made cheat codes for 8 classic games, suggested automatically when you add a game (you can add your own).
• TikTok LIVE mode: viewers' gifts, likes and follows trigger actions in the game. Heroes vs villains rules, goals, voice reading of comments and a public overlay for TikTok LIVE Studio / OBS. Includes a Node listening service with a one-command installer.
• AdminCP tools: add games with ROM and cover in one form, BIOS manager per console, server folder for large games (PS1 / PSP / PS2), enable/disable, TikTok service status.
• Native XenForo: permissions (play / use TikTok LIVE), options, phrases, style-aware light and dark colors, responsive layout.

Security and privacy​

• ROMs, BIOS files and saves are stored in internal_data/ with random names (outside the web root) and streamed only to members who have permission.
• CSRF token on every API call, per-member save rate limit, paths validated against directory traversal.
• When a member is deleted, all their FX Games data (saves and files, statistics, points, profile, ratings, LIVE settings) is deleted too.
• Uninstalling removes all tables and add-on data. Your uploaded ROMs, BIOS files and saves in internal_data/fxgames/ are not deleted.

External services (please read before buying)​

• EmulatorJS CDN: the emulators are loaded in the member's browser from the EmulatorJS CDN. If your site uses a strict Content-Security-Policy, allow that domain.
• TikTok LIVE (optional, off by default): uses an unofficial connection to TikTok through a Node service that you install on your own server. It may stop working without notice if TikTok changes something.
• The optional TikTok installer (which you run yourself as root) may add the NodeSource apt repository to install Node.js if it is missing, and downloads the service's Node dependencies with npm.
• The add-on has no license callback and sends no data to the author.

Requirements​

• XenForo 2.3.0+ and PHP 8.0+.
• TikTok LIVE (optional): Linux server with systemd and Node.js 20+.
• Nginx users: block internal_data/ in the server configuration.

Please note​

• No ROMs or BIOS files are included. You are responsible for holding the rights to everything you upload.
• PS2 is experimental and needs Play.js and Play.wasm (not included). PSP needs a powerful computer.
• Tested on XenForo 2.3.13 with test data.
• Interface language: English.
