RomM (ROM Manager) is a self-hosted web app for organizing and managing ROM collections across hundreds of gaming platforms. It scans your library, enriches games with metadata and artwork, and provides a clean interface to browse and play supported titles.

Key Features

  • Library scanning with support for multiple platforms and naming schemes
  • Metadata enrichment from external game databases and providers
  • Artwork fetching and library presentation optimized for desktop and mobile
  • Browser-based gameplay for supported systems via integrated web emulators
  • Achievements display integration (where supported by providers)
  • Custom tags and filename tag parsing for filtering and organization
  • Support for multi-disk games and common extras (DLC, mods, hacks, patches, manuals)
  • Shareable library access with limited permissions
  • Upload, update, and delete games from modern web browsers

Use Cases

  • Centralize and browse a multi-platform retro game library for emulators
  • Enrich ROM sets with consistent metadata and artwork for frontends
  • Provide controlled access to a shared library for friends or family

RomM is well-suited for emulator enthusiasts who want a modern, searchable ROM catalog with enrichment and optional in-browser play. It combines library management features with a responsive web UI to make large collections easier to maintain and enjoy.
