What you can do with it

  • Play ROMs in the browser
  • Sync saves and states across devices

Ways a business could use it

  • Save money by self-hosting a ROM manager instead of using a paid service
  • Easily manage and share a ROM collection with team members

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence. Running it as an online service also counts, so a hosted version must offer its source.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
