I dream of a program suite like [Overseer+Jacket+Sonaar+Plex] which would search, download and organize a video game library.
Does one already exist?
Would not trust automatically downloading executables unless you have a sandbox.
It’s probably possible and safe for roms, but then there are already more or less complete packs for basically every console and retro computer ever made so it’s not that useful.
Even then I wouldn’t do it. Installing games takes a while too, so it’s not much of a time-saver compared to automatically organizing movies/shows.
And the risk of getting a misleadingly named game with malware is too high. Remembering to sandbox isn’t easy either, after possessing them for a while. Untrusted files should never be on a computer, imo. But I don’t pirate games, so take my advice for what it is.
More than likely they’ll name the game exactly as it is for easy finding but include a crypto miner. It’s already happening anyways, it’ll make it easier.
Launchbox is a great option for organizing your PC games and roms, but it doesn’t really do anything automatically except for scraping box art and metadata of games/systems. It also doesn’t offer a server/client setup, so there’s no streaming games unless you have a VM.
Steam if you learn how to remove their copy-protection. from what i understand it’s not hard.
A guide on how to do that or some further information would be much appreciated.
Igg Games or IAGL
someone is going to make Gamearr because of this just you watch
This would really rely on having a very competent and trust worthy source, and in not sure if that exists for software the same way it does for movies/ TV shows.
