Made me smile

First of all, thank you for trying it.

DLC, MOD and Patch file support is on the roadmap until then it’s a solution to just put them into one tar archive or whatever.

Regarding the metadata not being found, it can happen in rare cases, you can simply enter the igdb ID into the remap search bar and that will do the trick, no need to edit files on your server or whatever.

Lastly the Microsoft store is only one of our multiple distribution channels, we also share precompiled executables on GitHub releases. It says it’s unrecommended but don’t worry about it. Check out the client docs for all ways to install the client.

yeah browsing that 4000 game folder list sure is the same fun.

Because we decided its the main distribution platform. But there are multiple.

We’ve contacted heroic regarding a collab but they never wrote back. You can do this as a fallback though.

We had fantasies about it but its just too much work for us two, there are community clients for linux natively in development tho.

It could handle modpacks, thats even an example on the site. You dont need to open it up to the internet, it works perfectly fine in LAN and VPN aswell.

It does.

“Unsupported and Unrecommended” is just wording to not get flooded with tickets for varrrrrious systems. We try our best helping always.

it is not exclusive to Windows Store. We also provide Windows Releases directly on GitHub, and there are guides on running this on linux aswell.

Zip and 7z are not a problem, it’s exactly what GameVault needs! It does work with Roms, you can use it to browse and download them. Installing them directly into Emulators and EmulatorJS Stuff is planned!

There are ways to run this on linux.

Sorry if there were any miscommunication: We have github and email support aswell, its just lots of people find talking in real time easier.

it is mostly optimised for pc atm. it will save them perfectly fine and you can download and browse them using this as well, but its still on our roadmap to build in a web based emulator, native emulator support and auto-install for roms. See details here

Honestly im not too familiar with launchbox, but from the looks of it: Launchbox has no server-side component, no steam-store-like experience, for a small community of friends and family I think. its just a front-end. We also have no fancy ROM features yet, just support for downloading them. We do have auto-extract, auto-install and so on. Also, our source code is available and not closed source.

There is a way using it on Linux outlined here in the docs, but no plans at the time for a native linux client.

we do have Github aswell. it’s just most people find discord easier. Here you go, trooper:

It’s for games you own. 😂

There’s a Guide in the advanced usage section on the website.

1. It’s for groups, mostly. Families & Friends.
2. It’s not really a replacement. It is a way for you to have a steam like experience for games where you would not have one. Games lying on your server.
3. No, not at all at the time, but maybe in the future

Thanks for looking into it

It does, it needs about 120mb of ram I think.
