cps1lab.com Visit website
Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based CPS1 arcade lab that captures game graphics for editing in Aseprite, then imports the edits and exports MAME-compatible ROMs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.
For
CPS1 arcade modders and Aseprite pixel artists
Worth noticing
The page lists 29 playable titles and says the emulator was written from the hardware up, without an emulation library.

Field notes

The capture step is described as recording sprite poses and scrolling tiles during gameplay, while the editing handoff preserves tilemaps and palette data in Aseprite files. The implementation notes name a Motorola 68000 interpreter, a Zilog Z80 audio CPU running in a Web Worker, and YM2151 synthesis via WASM; these are homepage descriptions, not independently tested results.
