Compatibility

Cocoon Shell supports 122 platforms out of the box. Platform data is downloaded from the CocoonFE repository during first-time setup.

The Folder Name column shows what you should name your ROM folder. For example, put your SNES games in a folder called snes, your PS1 games in psx, and so on. Each platform page also lists which file extensions are recognized.

Common File Formats

`.iso`	PS2, PSP, GameCube, etc.	Standard disc images
`.chd`	Many systems	Compressed disc format — smaller than BIN/CUE, widely supported
`.m3u`	Multi-disc games	Playlist file listing multiple discs — Cocoon shows as single game
`.gdi`	Dreamcast	Dreamcast disc images
`.pbp`	PSP / PS1	Compressed PlayStation Portable format
`.sfc`, `.smc`	SNES	Super Nintendo ROMs
`.nes`	NES	Nintendo Entertainment System ROMs
`.gba`	GBA	Game Boy Advance ROMs
`.nds`	NDS	Nintendo DS ROMs
`.z64`, `.n64`, `.v64`	N64	Nintendo 64 ROMs
`.p8.png`	PICO-8	PICO-8 cartridge files

RetroAchievements Support

Many of these platforms are also supported by RetroAchievements. If a platform has an RA community and your emulator supports RA (like RetroArch), you can track achievements right from Cocoon. See the RetroAchievements page for the full list of supported systems.

Note: Platform support in Cocoon is pulled from the CocoonFE repository during setup. New platforms can be added over time without an app update — just re-run the platform download step in settings.
