This seems like what I wanted on my first rpi over a decade ago.

Install, add ~15000 games from archive.org romsets, maybe a few bios files.

Shit just works.

~1970-2000, done

great looking software, but RomM handles WAYYYY more systems than this

    +1. I'm a huge fan of RomM, they have been improving their solution constantly. Also, combine that with their Argosy launcher and you have a great combo of centralized repository and sync client. Edit: some fat-finger typos.

    Argosy has to be vibe coded because while the UI appears very polished it is the most confusing and inconsistent piece of software I've ever used.

    I think they use claude in some way. Not disclosed the degree, however. So, not sure if it's pure vibe-coded or just assisted (I'm not positioned on the topic and have a "debian-like" approach to it).

    And I can understand that sometimes it can behave extremely randomly (modifying collections because in the client a platform is not synced, happened to me once).

    But so far, the built-in emulator works really well for save/state sync, and now it can run 3DS (so it's a one less emulator to install).
