What Eclipse is
Eclipse is a web-based emulator for playing games from classic systems, including Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, Sega Master System, and Sega Game Gear. Games can be added from Google Drive, Dropbox, or the Homebrew selection, or loaded from local files. The interface supports touch, keyboard, and controllers, with editable default bindings; controller compatibility depends on the JavaScript Gamepad API and operating system. Once the site is cached, uploaded local games can be played offline, though some features, such as the Library, are disabled. Save behavior differs by system: NES games do not save, SNES and GB/GBC games should save, and GBA has some incompatibilities. The GBA core lacks Real Time Clock support, and most GBA games with auto-save are unsupported. Eclipse has no multiplayer features, including Pokémon trading. User data is stored locally on the device. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web, and is listed as free.
