I don’t play a lot of games but I was wondering if there is a system like #romm to play old windows games that I have in gog but on a #selfhosted server ? (91268476.xyz)

Seems Windows is listed as supported.

@just_another_person @selfhosted well, it seems window games can be stored, not played in romm...

The thing is Romm seems to use emulatorjs to run emulated games in the browser, so they're actually running on your system. There's no system like that at all for native software. The closest would be streaming things like Moonlight.
