I have this installed on my unRAID instance and haven't yet figured this out..
Been tracking this for a while and it really needs support for renaming and validating ROMs (e.g. with .dat files) to be called a “ROM manager”.
Your comment piqued my interest, as that would be a required feature for me to use something like this. It looks like they do support integrating with a tool called Igir to handle validating and naming ROMs using DAT files. https://docs.romm.app/latest/Tools/Igir-Collection-Manager/
Could you explain the benefits of using this over retroarch, lakka.tv, emulator station, EmuDeck (steam deck wrapper around some of these), etc. Playing through a browser seems like a downside for me personally
This is a self-hosted solution, unlike all those sofware you mention. You will install this in your server through docker and you will manage your ROMs library with a clean interface. Being able to play in the webUI itself is an extra since we just integrated emualtorjs (from emulatorjs.org)
This might be a stupid question. But can you have a general import folder were you just dump a rom and the app IDs it and moves it to the correct system folder? I have this installed on my unRAID instance and haven't yet figured this out..

(Pro tip: Use the {datName} template token instead of --dir-dat-name if you use clean with single DAT files, or the "only delete from folders we touched" rule doesn't apply, learned the hard way).
This would be super cool if it becomes a smart TV app. Couldn't be too far off, right?

I think I might just be too far from the target audience to understand this. I don’t see any of the other options as non “self hosted”, they aren’t backed by some cloud infrastructure owned by a company, those are all locally running apps on your device

I've been working on integrating RomM into Lutris ( https://lutris.net/ ) for a while, but it's not ready yet since I haven't had time to finish it. Not as a plugin but directly in the main Lutris repo: https://github.com/gantoine/lutris/tree/romm-game-service It would allow you to store your games on the server, sync the list in Lutris, and install them when you want to play them. I'd like to get a working POC to de…
I would love to see this working in Pegasus Frontend or Heroic Games Launcher, personally

Have to dig and see if it handles retool items. Unfortunately retool has been basically abandoned. IGIR looked interesting until I realized it could not do parent/clone for redump like retool.
