You know how games use to come on a dvd or a big brick called a cartridge… Can i do something like that but in modern day. I have a bunch of blank dvd and cds collecting dust and linux os’s but could i put game son them on installers and give them some cool art? Is there a better way to do this? This would also be for personal use cases.

Im just not sure how well save files would be handled, or if this is worth doing.

    I miss the cartridge days too but this is not so practical anymore. Also you’ll get the best results with DRM-free games, whatever you decide.

    What I would do is, buying a big HDD and fill it with installers. You can put cover images on/as folders if you want.

    For save files, build a sync structure on a server (local one would be more feasible with something like syncthing). You can do that with Nextcloud or Dropbox etc. as well.
