Revision as of 02:46, 7 January 2024

TODO
  • Complete a "Recommended" column
  • Add comparisons
  • Make a tools category on Main Page
  • Add more ROM managers
  • Add controller stuff
  • Add stuff like Mesa (what is it?)
  • Edit MAME to link here

ROM managers are quality-of-life tools designed to organize a game collection for use in an emulator. It often serves two purposes; it can view any game an emulator supports and list the ones that you have, and it may also be able to fix any potential problems with the collection (as some projects like MAME require the presence of all ROM files in order to run a driver). Some ROM managers may even work as a frontend, by being able to launch an emulator from their UI.
