Comment on Developer Interview: my Q&A with The RomM Project

@PerfectDark I only recently cames across with project and it looks amazing - like a Jellyfin for games. I only wish there was plugin support for Retroarch/Lutris or something similar rather than needing to rely on EmulatorJS.

I love the work you've done sitting down with the team and it's definitely convinced me to put this one down as the next of my ever growing number of services going onto my homelab cluster.

As an aside, I also wanted to thank you for your writing in general. I used to do a lot of writing (heck, I did three quarters of a journalism degree a lifetime ago), and the effort and quality you put into this stuff has definitely started that itch in me again...

I only wish there was plugin support for Retroarch/Lutris or something similar rather than needing to rely on EmulatorJS. We integrate for now with playnite (lutris for windows) and any handheld that can run muOS or Portmaster, but Lutris integration is on the list! Sadly, retroarch doesn’t have a plugin system, so for now that’s discarded

Please do!!!

I’d love to read more from ‘our’ circle of people. I find there’s…not enough, which is (in part, anyway) why I like to try my best at sharing this kind of thing. Especially in an atmosphere where short videos are consumed like crazy, where A.I. can slap together (poorly) someone’s writing, and where the big sites are just click-bait or begging for subscriptions and support.

IDK, I’d love to read whatever you’d be writing!

And thank you so much for writing this, I’m gonna link the RomM team to a new convert :P

Hi! I’m glad you are enjoying RomM! A Lutris integration (not plugin but a direct PR into the core) is on the works!
