Bring your own games to Jam.GG
The best feature of this Netflix style service, you can load your own roms from a local drive and play them online with friends too. This super neat feature currently supports SNES, PS1, Nintendo 64, GBA, Genesis, NES, Master System and Game Boy. There is a raft of support for all the usual filetypes and roms.
To get started, all you have to do is create a room on Jam.gg and choose your rom, you can also choose from lots of fun video filters when you are streaming and playing with your mates too. Please keep in mind, this feature seems to be an early access addition, and maybe a paid feature later in the year, but this is a great time to get started!
