If you want to make a skin for Eclipse you can make one via the OpenSkin Editor or by using a template JSON file. You can access our featured skins endpoint at https://eclipseemu.me/play/json/skins/featured.json

Share API

Skin designers, repo operators, and software developers can easily interact with Eclipse via URL endpoints.

    • ROM_NAME The name of the game, as it will be displayed to the user.
    • ROM_IMAGE A link to an image to act as the box art for the game.
