Hey everyone! I’m super excited to share a project I’ve been working on. I built a Discord bot that works with the RomM rom manager. It’s been a fun challenge and I think it could be really useful for gaming communities.
The bot can help users search for ROMs, check their library, and even start downloads right from Discord. I used Python and the Discord.py library to make it happen.
Has anyone else tried something similar? I’d love to hear about your experiences or get some feedback on how I could improve it. Also, if you have any cool ideas for new features, I’m all ears!
I’m thinking about maybe adding a way to organize ROMs into collections or adding some game info lookup features. What do you think would be most useful?
That’s an impressive project, Harry47! I’ve dabbled in Discord bot development before, but never thought to integrate it with a ROM manager. It’s a clever idea that could streamline things for retro gaming communities.
One feature you might consider is implementing a voting system where users can rate ROMs or leave short reviews. This could help others find high-quality ROMs more easily. Another useful addition might be automatic notifications when new ROMs are added to the library.
Have you thought about open-sourcing the project? It could be beneficial to get contributions from the community, potentially leading to faster development and more robust features. Just be sure to handle any legal considerations carefully when dealing with ROMs.
Keep up the great work! Projects like these really showcase the innovative spirit of the gaming community.
I’ve actually been working on something similar, but for a different purpose. Your Discord bot sounds really impressive, Harry47! The integration with RomM is a smart move.
From my experience, one thing that could really enhance your bot is adding a tagging system. Users could tag ROMs with genres, consoles, or even difficulty levels. This would make searching and organizing much more efficient.
Another idea - maybe implement a ‘random ROM’ feature? Sometimes people just want to discover something new. You could even tie it to user preferences based on their search history.
Have you considered adding any emulator integration? It might be complex, but being able to launch a game directly from Discord could be a game-changer.
Keep iterating on this. Projects like yours are what keep the retro gaming scene thriving!
