Expansive Sharing

Share anything, anywhere, instantly. ROMDex makes it effortless to share ROM hacks, patches, saves, and documentation with anyone.

Get Playing Faster

Every sharing feature is designed to minimize friction

Traditional ROM hack sharing is painful: find the right link, download the patch, find a patcher, locate your base ROM, patch it, load it into an emulator... ROMDex streamlines this entire process.

Share a single link that contains everything: the patch, the correct base ROM info, patching instructions, and even save files. Recipients can be playing in minutes, not hours.
