Hello all! I have never selfhosted before, but I have a pretty extensive digital library of videogames (ROMs from a couple dozen retro systems among other executables) that my friends have expressed interested in having access. What’s the ideal software for giving them access to the library hosted on my drives? I’m picturing something like a selfhosted Steam where they see all of the games and can search via retro system, game tags, by name, etc. and each of could keep track of separate user accounts by playtime, favorites, recently played, etc. I use RetroArch and a few standalone emulators myself connected to RetroAchievements, so I figured they would need to download any emulators on their ends and then just pick and play the games as they see fit without having to have their own copies of the games.
What about Sunshine and Moonlight? This is something I’ve been mildly interested in for a while but never took a deep dive.
I’ve never used it. Would multiple people be able to play at the same time? From what I understand of this, the server is what is actually running the game and the client is just basically remote viewing that game. So if more than one person wanted to play at the same time from the server it would not be able to provide both? Or is that just incorrect information.
I’m not sure. I’ve always wanted something like Plex but for games.
