plugin RomM users: What do you want in a plugin?

👾🎮🕹️  What features would you like to see in a RomM plugin?  🕹️🎮👾

Hey folks. I'm in the middle of producing a MVP plugin for RomM. The initial scope is to provide a full platform sync for each or all launchbox platforms. 

Given I'm in the early stages, it feels like a good time to ask the question so I can design with other features in mind.

For those of you who know RomM some pics of the early stages that should make sense:

    

 

For those who don't, RomM is the perfect way to have a centralised 'canon' romset from which all your different launchbox installations can be set up. No more duplication of installing roms, getting the right metadata and media. Set once in RomM and then sync all your launchbox installations form there. It also allows you to have a large centralised store of roms on a sevrer with lots of space and then have a pick, download and play for your client launchbox installs. Think like steam but for roms.

For example, I have a home server that serves my roms to all my different installations. Because you can do a "reverse proxy" you can also use a web address to access it (eg. https://games.dave.com) so you don't even have to be on your LAN! I could install it on my licenced Launchbox installation at my Aunt Betty's house whilst I'm having tea and cake. 🫖🍰
