The service just didn\u2019t fulfill its promise; you couldn\u2019t just drag Super Nintendo ROMs into your Plex server and immediately use them with Plex Arcade\u2014you had to manually install DLL files from RetroArch and edit metadata by hand.<\/p>\n<p>And even if you took the time to set up Plex Arcade (or play its pre-installed Atari games), the service was pretty laggy and lacked basic emulation features. There were no save states, and you couldn\u2019t re-map your controllers. Why endure all this crap when old-fashioned emulators require less effort?<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"SYepu_5oSOc\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SYepu_5oSOc\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<blockquote><p>We\u2019ve made the difficult decision to close\u00a0the doors on Plex Arcade on March 31, 2022.\u00a0Since its launch a little over a year ago,\u00a0we\u2019ve encountered some significant hurdles\u00a0along the way that ultimately prevented us\u00a0from making Plex Arcade the awesome experience we set out to build for our gamers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The price also rubbed customers the wrong way\u2014free Plex users paid $5 a month for Plex Arcade, and oddly enough, Plex Pass members were expected to pay $3 a month. It doesn\u2019t help that Plex Arcade only worked with PC-based Plex Media Servers.<\/p>\n<p>Some customers could ignore these problems, but they couldn\u2019t ignore <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/retroarcher.github.io\/\">RetroArcher<\/a>, a free Plex Arcade alternative that actually works. The RetroArcher plug-in is free and adds cloud gaming functionality to Plex, with all those emulation features that customers actually care about.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not sure why Plex fumbled the ball here. Maybe the company just wants to avoid the crosshairs of Nintendo and other gaming companies. Either way, Plex is now emailing customers to announce the end of Plex Arcade. From now through March 31st, Plex Arcade customers can use the service at no additional charge.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
