Description

With RomM 4.7.0, there is now functionality for syncing saves to/from RomM (documented here). I would love to have support in Retroarch for this if possible, as I have a RomM server setup already, and use Retroarch on both my AppleTV and on my TrimUI Brick and don't otherwise have a Webdav server setup at this time.

Is there any appetite for adding support for RomM for Cloud Sync support?

Research direction

Start by reviewing RetroArch's existing Cloud Sync support and the RomM save-sync API described in the linked RomM pull request. Define the supported sync flow and platform behavior, then verify that saves can be synchronized to and from a RomM server on the requested devices.
