I don’t play a lot of games but I was wondering if there is a system like #romm to play old windows games that I have in gog but on a #selfhosted server ?

Seems Windows is listed as supported.

@just_another_person @selfhosted shoot! I always thought it was designed for consoles like nes!! Thanks will try to figure out how to run it

@just_another_person @selfhosted well, it seems window games can be stored, not played in romm...

The thing is Romm seems to use emulatorjs to run emulated games in the browser, so they’re actually running on your system. There’s no system like that at all for native software. The closest would be streaming things like Moonlight.

@Moonrise2473 @selfhosted it seems to work only on windwos though :-(

Ah really? I thought they did a universal client

I am using romm, game vault, and testing out retrom: github.com/jmberesford/retrom/releases

Retrom is still pretty new but they plan on using emulatorjs for web play like romm, and having a client app like game vault.

I’m waiting for one of them to become the all in one solution for emulation, web play, and game installs for Windows games, but none of them are there yet.

Right now I would probably recommend gamevault for your use case.

You can already put your PC games on romm and your saves. You just download the game in gog and put it in romm in the windows or Linux platform (I think there is one for mac games also). If you already have romm installed, it might be easier to use it than to have a second service installed.

Maybe nestri.io is similar enough to what you’re looking for?

@denshi @selfhosted that doesn’t look self hostable right?
