In their own words
Arcade Manager
Arcade Manager has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.
ROMie
ROMie imports and organizes ROM collections, then copies them to handheld SD cards using the folder layout for a selected device profile. It can create tagged game playlists, normalize filenames into game titles and compare ROM MD5 hashes with the RetroAchievements database to show progress for verified games. Device profiles listed include OnionOS, Knulli, muOS, ROCKNIX and custom profiles. ZIP and 7z archives are accepted when each contains exactly one supported ROM file; they remain compressed in the library and are copied to the device that way. Supported systems include Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Neo Geo Pocket and MAME arcade systems. PlayStation is temporarily unsupported because of multi-disc game complexity. ROMie is free software under the MIT license, with no paid plans stated. Downloads are listed for macOS, Windows and Linux, including Linux x64 and ARM64 builds. The releases page lists v0.9.0-rc.2 as a prerelease.
