I really want this type of functionality and have been looking everywhere for it. I have a very large library of games (.iso games take a lot of space) and would love to be able to distribute a "library" that contained all the metadata, but only when you wanted to play a game, would it reach out to my server and dl the necessary files.
Instead of needing to stream files live (like plex/emby) , it would download the rom, iso, or zip package for dos/windows games. This would be stored locally and then you could run the game as usual. You could also add a "Free up space, or Remove Local Copy" leaving local saves and other files intact.
The benefit of this is that you could copy your launchbox install to a laptop, and only grab the games you wanted to play on the go. You could share your library with friends who were remote, etc.
EDIT:
Sorry, didn't realize how old this post was, I will create a new post with this request.
