Hey y'all, the team is back with an exciting update: RomM 4.0 is out, and it's our most feature-packed release yet!
RomM is a self-hosted app that allows you to manage your retro game files (ROMs) and play them in the browser.
RomM 4.0: A Major Leap Forward for Retro Game Management - Fediverse.Games Magazine
Highlights
- Hash-based matching: We've partnered with two friends and members of the community, /u/FlibblesHexEyes and /u/DevYukine, to build powerful new integrations that validates your ROM files against known-good-hashes with databases like No-Intro, Redump and TOSEC
- LaunchBox metadata: A privacy-friendly source for metadata, cover art, and screenshots, for users who don't want to rely on cloud APIs
- SteamGridDB covert art: High-quality cover art for both matched and unmatched (no metadata found) games is now available during scans
- DOS emulation: Play MS-DOS games right in the app with EmulatorJS, the in-browser player
It's been a while since our last update, and in that time we've released some seriously cool features:
- View achievements you've earned on other devices with RetroAchievements
- High-quality metadata and artwork from ScreenScraper
- Auto-generated collections based on metadata fields like genre, franchise or developer
- A complete overhaul of the save state system with the in-browser player
- Invite links to share your collections with friends
- A redesigned server stats page with per-platform data
- OIDC authentication support for most identity providers
Thanks to the community, clients are now available for more devices, like Android, Anbernic handhelds, PortMaster, Playnite on Windows, Steam Deck and RetroArch on Linux.
We're also proud to say we've reached 5K stars on GitHub and made the front page of Hacker News, two incredible milestones for the project.
Until next time!
