Deck Host

A home for your programs

Small programs.
Somewhere to put them.

Bring a program home and give it a case. Install a .rom — a zip, under that name — and open it whenever you want it.

See how it holds them

Start with one that catches your eye. Leave room for another.

A pocket ROM, waiting in the slot.

One place to open them

A case for each program.

The launcher holds what you’ve installed. Pick the one you need. The others stay put until you want them.

Change the look whenever you like.

01 / Bring one home

It arrives as a .rom.

A small program, packed as a zip with that name. Install it, and it takes a place beside the others.

02 / Open it

Click the case.

Each program has a case of its own. Open the one you want. Come back to it later.

03 / Make it yours

Dress the launcher.

Skins change the whole look, the way Winamp wears a skin. Your programs stay where you left them.

The same launcher. Dress it up how you like.

A style is a stylesheet. Apply one, and the launcher wears it — the way Winamp wears a skin.

The Deck Host launcher in a dark style, with ROM cases for Big Box Company and Charlie’s Toys.
One style.
The same Deck Host launcher in a warm paper style, with the same ROM cases.
Another.

A catalog, when the shelf gets full.

ROM Cat is there if you want to manage the collection later — what’s ready, what’s still an idea, which maker it came from. The launcher is for opening.

ROM Cat, a catalog of makers and their ROM cases.
