That must be the most cryptic title I've seen on Lemmy today.
Romm + Knulli sounds like the name of a little known German 1970s children's show that later earned cult status.

I’m shocked that I actually recognize the references in an esoteric post.
Knulli - custom firmware for certain retro video game emulation devices
Anbernic - a currently popular manufacturer of said devices
Romm - self hosted software for gathering data about and organizing game roms (hence the post here)
Syncthing wouldn’t be possible to install on the stock firmware of their device, but it is with custom firmware like Knulli.
It's even better in Swedish.
omfg, you are right. Not a children's show, though.
LOL in my defense they are the two most popular pieces of software for their respective duties.
i thought it was a misplaced tenforward post. :/
Theres a Romm app in ports you can use for this.
This is the correct answer and should be the top post.
Oh interesting, thanks!
Do you know if this syncs save states?
I don't think it does.
I don't see why it wouldn't. ROMM stores them in the usual system/roms folder format. If you have any issues you can just setup some filters on sync thing. I would just test with one system first.
Looks like they don't do the exact same format, actually. For example Knulli calls it pcengine and Romm is tgx16. Same for genesis (Romm) and megadrive (Knulli).
You might be able to do some symlink shenanigans for those specific system.
