English is not my native language, but I will still write a review of the program:

  1. The launcher is more like Lutris and it has many different scripts and routines for launching games. Very cool for Linux users.

Now the overview is not of the program, but of the prospects:

  1. This is all cool, but I read the news here and official sources (I see that such emulators do not live out their entire life cycle because corporations like Nintendo, Sony, Sega) do not like such programs.

What is Retrom?

Retrom is a centralized game library management service that allows you to host your games on a single device, and connect clients on any amount of other devices to (un)install/download and subsequently launch said games locally.

Core features:

  • Host your own cloud game library service
  • Scan your filesystem for games/platforms and automatically add them to your library
  • Install/uninstall and play games from the service on any amount of desktop clients.
    • Support for Windows, MacOS, and Linux!
  • Access your library from anywhere with the web client.
  • Manage emulator profiles on a per-client basis, stored on the server for easily sharing configurations between devices or restoring them after a reinstall.
  • Launch all your games across any amount of emulators or platforms via your pre-configured profiles from a single library interface.
  • Automatically download game metadata and artworks from supported providers to showcase your library with style!
