A PLACE BUILT FROM MEMORIES
Memoria is a plugin that plays old console games in a window inside Final Fantasy XIV, styled after a Final Fantasy menu. Wait for a queue with Tetris, or sit in your house with an old favourite. Save states, battery saves, and a controller if you have one.
WHAT IT PLAYS
Seven consoles so far, some further along than others.
NES
Most of the library plays, and light gun games work with the mouse.
Game Boy and Color
Plays well, with battery saves.
Game Boy Advance
Plays well, with saves.
Super Nintendo
Games play, with some rough edges.
Master System and Game Gear
Still being built.
PlayStation
Still being built.
PlayStation 2
Still being built. Some games run well, others not at all.

WHAT IT NEEDS
Memoria comes with no games, no discs and no BIOS files. You bring those, from what you own.
Launch the game through XIVLauncher. If you use plugins already, you have this.
Cartridges as .nes .gb .gbc .sfc .sms .gg .gba, PlayStation discs as .chd or .cue, PlayStation 2 discs as .iso.
Some consoles need their BIOS to run. Use the one from your own console.
The keyboard works and every key can be changed. To use a controller, untick Enable gamepad in FFXIV's own settings so it controls Memoria and not your character.
Memoria runs alongside FFXIV, so it draws on your PC's performance. Be mindful of what else you have running.
INSTALL
It installs through Dalamud's plugin installer like any other plugin. Two minutes.
Add the repository
In game, open Dalamud settings (/xlsettings), go to Experimental, then Custom Plugin Repositories. Paste this, press +, and save:
Install the plugin
Open the plugin installer (/xlplugins), search for Memoria, install it.
Add your games
/rom opens the window. Point it at the folder your games are in, and they show up in the library.
