wip. but you're welcome to reply additions, critique, rec. etc..
Does this integrate with emudeck somehow?
Looks cool, bookmarket for later use !
However, the GUI looks very Discordish and is probably inspired by it. I hope it only stays at that and won't put some shady privacy nightmare code into it !
To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar... In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.
It's probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.
The UI is the main point of RomM project, the actual emulation is done by another tool called EmulatorJS
I keep my ROMs in the RetroPie folder structure to access them over the network. Would this work with that?
It can. I'll create an URI soon 🧵
