The simplicity of a console.
The freedom of a PC.
Do you know Steam Deck? Tinkerbox gives you a similar Steam-based experience on the TV, with the freedom to make the system your own.
Give old favorites a boost with higher resolution and texture packs. Customize with cheats, mods, and widescreen patches where the games and emulators support it. You choose how simple – or how advanced – you want it to be.
From box to game library
Connect and power on
Connect Tinkerbox to your TV, network, and a compatible controller. The machine starts in the controller-driven Steam interface.
Add your games
Log in to Steam and install compatible games. For emulation, add your own game files and necessary BIOS/system files into the ready-made folders, and import the games to Steam with EmuDeck.
Take a seat on the sofa
Select a game in Steam with the controller and press Play. The emulator starts automatically for imported console games. The physical Tinkerbox guide shows you how to set up and import step by step.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORY
DualSense with TMR · +549 NOK
Choose a refurbished and tested DualSense with TMR joysticks. Play, navigate, and use it as a mouse with an on-screen keyboard in Desktop Mode – from the sofa.
Already have a compatible USB or Bluetooth controller? Choose Tinkerbox without a controller and use your own.
Which games can I play?
A large selection across generations
Tinkerbox combines emulation of supported consoles with compatible PC games via Steam and Linux/Proton. The configured platforms range from retro classics to more demanding systems like PS3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Switch.
Resolution and frame rate
Compatible games can be run at higher resolutions and with improvements compared to the original hardware. The result depends on the game, emulator, and settings.
Games and system files
Tinkerbox is supplied without commercial games, ROMs, and BIOS files. You add the content you have legal access to yourself. Software and emulators may require updates or game-specific adjustments.
Upscaling, cheats, texture packs, and mods
Give old favorites new life
Higher internal resolution, upscaling, widescreen patches, and new textures can give classics a fresher look – in supported games, it can feel like a small remaster.
Customize the gaming experience
Use available cheats, mods, and community patches in compatible games. You can adjust graphics and controller layouts, try other emulators, or install new programs. Features and results vary between games and emulators.
You decide how far you want to go
TinkerMods provides a well-thought-out starting point. You choose and set up additional mods, texture packs, and game-specific enhancements yourself. You can keep the standard configuration or dive deeper into the possibilities.
Pre-configured, Steam, and the included guide
We have done the groundwork
Bazzite, drivers, selected emulators for supported platforms, default settings, and folder structure are all set up by TinkerMods. You don't need to build an emulation system from scratch.
One library in Steam
EmuDeck and Steam ROM Manager collect games from the installed emulators as individual shortcuts in Steam. After importing, you launch them directly from your library with your controller, alongside compatible PC games. The associated emulator opens automatically in the background. New games are imported as you add them; your daily gaming happens from the same library.
A physical guide made for Tinkerbox
The guide explains how to add your own games and system files, how the folders are organized, how games are imported into the library, and how to use Desktop Mode. Everything is explained step by step.
A full PC desktop whenever you want
Bazzite provides access to a full Linux desktop. Install programs, use a web browser, add other launchers, or customize the system further.
Controllers and couch usage
Use the controller you like
Tinkerbox supports compatible USB and Bluetooth controllers, including DualSense and Xbox controllers. Special game features may require individual configuration or suitable accessories.
Optional DualSense with TMR
For an extra 549 NOK, you get a refurbished DualSense that has been cleaned, tested, and upgraded with TMR joysticks. Magnetic sensing reduces sensor wear and the risk of traditional stick drift.
Also for Desktop Mode
The custom DualSense integration lets you navigate, control the mouse cursor, and use the on-screen keyboard. You can handle many common tasks from the couch using the same controller you play with.

The story behind Tinkerbox
