[Feature] RetroDECK Integration

Open Casuallynoted opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I thought I'd create an issue to be used for the discussion of what would be needed on either side for Retrodeck to be able to access a Romm library. Given that Romm now has a more robust API with support for additional things like bios/firmware files and whatnot, I figured it might be a good time for some of these discussions to happen and if there are any things that can be easily added to enable smoother connectivity/integration in future, we can keep track of them here :)

Going to also reference this proposal from Xargon:

https://github.com/rommapp/romm/discussions/293

Regarding a devices system for Romm that would allow Romm to effectively manage Retrodeck. In addition, copying this message from DMs:

"Before talking about "RetroDECK" integration we should define how is the status of "device" integrations as RetroDECK might be a device that RomM can manage. Moreover we could insert the possibility to open RomM via RetroDECK, this means we will need some sort of webviewer (electron?) that can:

  • operate via controller
  • assign a system to a single download folder (eg: downloads gba games into gba)
  • define how to "sync" (or download) the bioses"
