Description
Description
I have been trying Netplay for the first time, and I think it's awesome how we can play old games online with this feature. However, it's not as user-friendly as it could be, so I would like to suggest a feature.
When you refresh the room list, it populates with the current games available. However, many of these games won't be actually playable because you don't have the same rom and emulator versions.
It would really help if those games that are actually playable were highlighted (or unplayable ones grayed out) without the need to select and try each one of them separately.
What do you think? Is it feasible?

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by examining the Netplay room-list refresh and how compatibility is determined for each game; done means playable games are visibly highlighted, or unplayable games are grayed out, without trying each room individually.
