**Playback** is Epilogue's companion app at the heart of the Operator experience, a unified platform for all Operator devices that manages an entire Game Boy and SNES collection from a single interface. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and Raspberry Pi, with exhaustive settings covering RTC support, shaders, high resolution emulation, and highly accurate gameplay through world-class emulator integration. Core features:
- Emulator integration: seamless integration with respected emulation cores — low latency, excellent performance, and accurate emulation.
- Backup and restore: back up games and saves to your computer, restore saves to your cartridge at any time. The Save Vault automatically keeps up to 250 timestamped backups per game.
- Data integrity: every read and write operation is verified to catch errors before they become permanent, something original consoles never did.
- Counterfeit detection: analyzes cartridge hardware and compares it against a database of known official releases, at 98.7% accuracy. Coverage has grown from limited flashcart support in 2021 to supporting most flashcarts today.
- Cartridge safety: hardware-level overcurrent protection safeguards against electrical issues, while software verifies every read and write operation.
- Play features: rewind and fast-forward up to 10x speed, visual filters (CRT, LCD, smoothing), any USB or Bluetooth controller, local multiplayer for SNES games, and 11 supported languages.

Using Playback: connect Operator to your computer via USB-C, insert your cartridge, Playback recognizes the game automatically, then click Start to play.
