RoM-Jacket creates a native Windows™ (batch-script) library-layer for retro-emulation.
RoM-Jacket is an open-source Windows ROM and emulator utility suite. It packages ROMs as batch executables bundled with assets and per-game configuration files for ease of use across several different supported frontends, in addition to streamlining emulator installation and setup.
It is a comprehensive utility for any ROM library and is the ONLY ROM-library management tool which enables independent per-game settings.

RoM-Jacket can automatically setup HTPC frontends, emulators and joysticks.


The goal of this project is to unify the interface for emulators and systems in order to maintain the integrity of ROM titles as they exist in any active HTPC gaming-library.
The the aim of RoM-Jacket is to unify the interface for emulators and frontends to maintain consistency in a HTPC gaming library. Each ROM is grouped with associated assets inside a folder called a Jacket. A batch script launcher and configuration files are then created for each ROM. The result is a library in which titles are highly portable, self-contained, executable directly from Windows and and easily integrated into any frontend setup.
 
== What else can it do? ==
*Download torrents, magnets, urls and automatically identify, extract and catalog ROMs and BIOS files
*Mirror your saves and save-states into a cloud (Dropbox/GDrive/OneDrive)
*Convert ROMs into portable executables
 
== How does it work? ==
Each ROM is grouped with associated assets inside a Jacket (folder). A batch-script launcher (.bat) and configuration files are then created for each ROM.
The result is a library in which titles are highly portable, self-contained, execuatble by Windows™ itself and and easily integrated into any HTPC gaming frontend.
 
== But, why? ==
Because HTPC frontends typically match separated assets by name and ROM sets use a global emulator-configuration file, 2 significant problems often arise:
 
Changes made to an emulator's settings for one ROM affect all other ROMs which use it.
The source of assets and ROMs are arranged and named uniquely from ROM to content to emulator to frontend.
 
RoM-Jacket solves these problems. Assets remain with the jacket so that each ROM looks the same in any frontend and plays the same, every time.
