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

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

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

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

For inatallers

You either know the exact use case and need somehting like this or you don’t.

A lot of people just want to share their accumulated videogame libraries with their families and friends in some kind of platform.

due to popularity, but you can contact us via Email, Reddit, Lemmy or Github Issues / Discussions aswell

Last time I checked renaming an empty text file to “Assassin’s Creed 2.zip” was legal in my jurisdiction but I now must fear a C&D Letter from Ubisoft it seems lmao.

RomM is just a viewer.

Users must also be aware of and comply with copyright laws in their respective jurisdictions. We encourage responsible and legal use of GameVault. Unlawful use is strictly improper and unauthorized.

No of course not 😂

I needed some games to show the UI properly so I created some empty zip-file mocks of popular games like “Assassin’s Creed 2.zip”.

GameVault doesn’t care what’s inside.

There probably will some themes for supporters in the future.

Not natively but there’s this

“gimp” is a slur for disabled people. Thats what i am talking about.

just join our discord (linked in the post) and ask for a helping hand, there are plenty of users already running it. Maybe you can improve the docs there aswell, as they are a community effort.

Okay let’s be clear here: NO open source license disallows commercial use by a third party. It’s literally against the definition of open-source-software. It’s even green on the very site you linked.

There’s nothing illegal about GameVault. It’s a tool. It can be used correctly for its intended purpose or misused by others. Banning it would be like banning cars because some people use them as weapons instead of for transportation. So no, I don’t fear any trouble at all. After all, platforms like Plex/Jellyfin, which are basically GameVault for Movies and TV Series, are doing totally fine and are well-established in the general public already.
