A user asks how to build one self-hosted setup that manages everything from retro consoles to modern titles, noting that tools like Romm cover old cartridge-based games but nothing unifies retro emulation with newer platform libraries the way Sonarr/Radarr-style tools do for media. The thread is exploratory discussion rather than a documented failure of an existing product.
