In short
RomM: RomM makes sense when you want a central home for emulator games, with synchronized saves and access from desktops, phones, and handhelds. Its broad platform coverage, metadata sources, patching, and user controls give a collection room to grow. The cost is operational effort: Docker, databases, storage mounts, backups, and metadata credentials are part of the job. Free self-hosting is the natural choice for server owners. The Hostinger option adds a paid deployment path for buyers who want infrastructure support instead.
