What ROMie is

ROMie is a desktop tool for importing, organizing, and syncing ROM libraries to portable retro gaming devices. It can create custom playlists with tags and normalize filenames to game titles. Syncing copies ROMs to a handheld SD card in the folder layout for the chosen device profile, including OnionOS, Knulli, muOS, ROCKNIX, or a custom profile. ROMie can compare MD5 hashes with the RetroAchievements database and display achievement progress for verified ROMs. ZIP and 7z archives are supported when each contains exactly one supported ROM file; they remain compressed in the library and are copied to devices as-is. Supported systems include Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Neo Geo Pocket, and MAME arcade systems. PlayStation is temporarily unsupported because of multi-disc game complexity. ROMie is free software under the MIT license, with no paid plans stated. Downloads are listed for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including Linux x64 and ARM64 builds. The releases page lists v0.9.0-rc.2 as a prerelease.
