Any good retro/rom archive and emulation solution? (lemmy.world)

I've been backing up a lot of my old GB/GBC/GBA (thanks gb operator!) but I would really like something akin to Romm. It's got a great front end but it's really only for archiving.

I'm running truenas and they do have emulatorjs but it's fairly limited as when I'm done with my GB collection I'm on to PSX PS2 and OG Xbox. Which emulatorjs doesn't support.

Anyone found any good solutions?

INB4 retroarcher it's currently not being worked on or is not in a production state. Maybe someday.

Edit: Ultimately I went down RomM and EmuJS route. If anyone is interested here's my write up to get you started. https://lemmy.world/post/1202672

It's not organized at all but I just point RetroArch to a network share

Honestly this is what I'm going to resort to from the sounds of it. Lol. Not the worst solution. I liked the idea of a web front end to play from a console or even the TV for Mario party nights or when I actually get some alone time at home.

I’m also looking for something like this. Personally, I do use RetroArch pointing to a network share, too. However I’ve really liked using OpenEmu on Mac. Not what you’re looking for (also not self-hosted), but I think it’s one of the nicest UI I’ve seen for organizing and playing roms.
