ROMeo ♥
Convert, patch, compress and verify your retro game collection. No install. No telemetry. No cloud. Just drop and convert.
Built around real preservation workflows — not a port of someone else's tool.
Magic byte detection picks the right conversion path automatically — no manual format selection.
Apply IPS, BPS, UPS, xdelta, PPF, and APS patches directly — no separate tool needed.
ZIP and 7Z compression for cartridge games, plus M3U playlist generation for multi-disc sets.
Post-conversion integrity check via chdman verify — know your CHD is good before you delete the source.
Gaming Dashboard, Cyberpunk, Terminal, Minimal — or build your own theme with a JSON file.
openrom-core for shell scripts, automation pipelines, and batch jobs on headless servers.
20+ conversion routes across the major retro platforms.
