In their own words
OxyROMon
oxyROMon is a free, cross-platform command-line tool for organizing and archiving ROM collections. Written in Rust, it checks files against known-good databases and supports console, computer and arcade systems through Logiqx DAT files. Commands can import, validate, check, convert, export and purge ROMs, as well as create M3U playlists for multi-disc games. It is designed for original and lossless formats; exporting to lossy formats leaves the lossless files untouched. Collections can be sorted by region or in 1G1R mode, while arcade sets can be grouped by BIOS, parent and clone. Settings are stored in SQLite with global options and per-system overrides. The documented database sources include No-Intro and Redump for consoles, and MAME or FBNeo for arcade systems. An optional server provides a GraphQL endpoint and web interface for browsing collections, managing settings, and importing ROMs and DATs. The server defaults to loopback, but URL imports can reach hosts accessible to it, so exposing the server beyond loopback requires care. No-Intro DAT handling checks for updates but does not download the DAT files.
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.
