THE GAME LIBRARY WORKBENCH MW / 01

A library, put together with a little more care.

ROMarr handles the part before the shelf: search the sources you choose, check a release against the DATs you trust, then put it where your setup expects it.

A SMALL OPINION, BUILT INTO THE PRODUCT

Good libraries come from good choices.

Keep a plain folder, pick a web library, use a desktop launcher, or mix the pieces that suit you. ROMarr and the tools around it are here to make that setup feel more like yours.

A HAND-BUILT MAP OF THE HANDOFFS

One useful step at a time.

These projects can work together without turning into one locked-in stack. Start wherever you are; connect more when it helps.

THE LIBRARY IS YOURS TO CHOOSE

Pick the home that fits.

A SOURCE YOU WANT ISN'T HERE?

Add your own catalog or write your own plugin.

ROM Hub plugins are small Python packages described in a manifest.toml. You can publish a catalog for your own sources or make a plugin anyone can install.

The catalog is the source of truth for what is currently published and installable. Plugin projects may be in different stages.

THE REST OF YOUR HOME SERVER

A good guide for the whole setup.

Move Weight's self-hosting guide covers the practical foundations. For media libraries and request workflows, these are some of the familiar tools people run alongside their own services.

A SHARED NORTH STAR

Separate roadmaps. One smoother journey.

ROMarr, ROM Hub, Cartridge, and Yarr.It are being shaped to work in unison: discovery, careful imports, flexible libraries, and a front door that makes the whole setup easier to reach.

01

Make discovery more useful

Grow ROM Hub sources and keep ROMarr's match context clear.

ROMarr roadmap
02

Keep every handoff optional

Connect the parts people already use without forcing one library or launcher.

ROM Hub plans & code
03

Bring the setup closer to the player

Cartridge and Yarr.It help make a self-hosted collection feel easy to reach.

Cartridge Yarr.It

The projects keep their own maintainers and release schedules. RomM, Gaseous, Retrom, Playnite, and LaunchBox remain independent choices the ecosystem can meet where supported; nobody has to adopt the whole map.
