In this video, I show you how easy to create your BonjourArcade. Simply clone a repo and upload your ROMs. A website will automatically be created for you, with a name of (mostly) your choosing, and will be hosted on the public internet, all for free. You can access this device using a phone, a PC, or a tablet. Works with Bluetooth and USB controller. Supports touch controls out of the box.

This is now my method of choice for retro gaming. It's simply too convenient. Now, no matter what I bring with me, I always have access to my ROM library. I can just ask to use the device of anyone around me, punch in the website, and boom, I'm gaming. I haven't had to install anything on that person's device.

Here's the repository for people are interested in trying this out: https://gitlab.com/bonjourarcade/fork-me

Curious to know what you think!
