What is OpenROM?

OpenROM is a free, open-source Universal Retro Gaming Toolkit — one app to replace every fragmented ROM tool. Convert, patch, compress, clean headers, and manage your collection. No terminal. No googling. No headaches.

You drag a file in. You pick what you want. You click go.

That's it.
