About Retrom
Desktop client for Retrom. Note that any dedicated Retrom server must be setup independently.
Retrom is a centralized game library management service that allows you to host your games on a single device, and connect clients on any amount of other devices to (un)install/download and play them when and where you want to! Think of it as a sort of self-hosted Steam for your DRM-free game library.
