  RP9 Files
  RP9 files are the retrogaming equivalent of MP3: one file type for multiple platforms, one click to play. No more multiple-file sets for a single game, no more ZIP archives (RP9 files are already compressed). The RP9 thumbnail provider adds pure eye candy in File Explorer.

  RP9 Title Editor
  All titles can be edited. Either right-click an item and select Edit, or create and edit a copy, or build a new configuration from scratch. Changes are saved to the RP9 file, which is easily portable to other systems.

  RP9 Toolbox
  RP9 Toolbox is a powerful tool to search for content in different formats, rescan and rebuild RP9 files, and import and export to and from RP9.
