## What it is
Steam ROM Manager is a desktop application for bulk-importing non-Steam games (emulator ROMs, Epic/GOG titles, shortcuts) into Steam and managing their artwork and controller templates. It uses configurable parsers with 100+ presets and fetches cover art from SteamGridDB with fuzzy title matching.

## Use cases
- bulk add emulator roms to steam
- download cover art for non-steam games
- manage steam library artwork
- import gog and epic games into steam
- set up retro games on steam deck
- apply controller templates to imported games

## When to choose
- you have a large ROM collection you want in Steam with proper artwork
- you want Steam overlay and controller support for non-Steam games
- you use emulators and want automated library setup with presets

## When to avoid
- you only need to add one or two games manually
- you don't use Steam as your game launcher
- you need a headless CLI-only workflow
