RoM Magician
ßv0.99 "argot"
For Windows XP,Vista, 7, 8x & Linux via WINE
Changelog
What is it?
RoM-Jacket creates a native Windows application layer for retro-emulation.
It is a comprehensive utility for any ROM library and is the ONLY ROM-library management tool which enables per-game settings.
What do I need this for?
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 an active HTPC gaming-library.
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 batchscript launcher and configuration files are then created for each ROM.
Why?
Because HTPC frontends typically match separated assets by name and ROM sets use a global emulator-configuration file, 2 significant problems arise:
Changes made for the settings in one ROM affect all others.
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.
FEATURES
80+ supported consoles, computers and arcade machines
50+ emulators
8 HTPC frontends
Simple wizards
Drag'n drop ROM sorting
Intelligent BIOS & ROM cataloging
Torrent, magnet and URL support
CLI for custom emulators
Open-source and free
XBox 360 & DS3/4 joystick support
Artwork migration tools
For Windows XP,Vista, 7, 8x & Linux via WINE
