Your ROMs, on the shelf.
ROM Shelf works from one folder on your computer. Pick the start that fits you. You can switch folders any time from ☰ Menu.
I have ROMs
Choose the folder that holds them: one folder per system, or one big pile. ROM Shelf puts them on shelves by system, finds duplicates and builds batches to copy to a handheld. Nothing is moved or deleted until you confirm.
Starting fresh
Make a new, empty folder anywhere (call it “ROM Shelf”) and choose it. You get the complete game lists for every system to browse, rate and star into a wishlist, and your picks are saved in that folder.
Just looking
No folder needed. Walk through video game history: a timeline of every system, series histories, genre waves and a printable book.
Works in Chrome or Edge on a computer. Files are read on this computer and never uploaded. ROM Shelf keeps its notes in a visible “ROM Shelf Data” folder inside the folder you choose, so favorites, ratings and batches travel with it.
