I am a software engineer who apparently is mildly interested in computers and videogames.

it is not exclusive to Windows Store. We also provide Windows Releases directly on GitHub, and there are guides on running this on linux aswell.

Zip and 7z are not a problem, it’s exactly what GameVault needs! It does work with Roms, you can use it to browse and download them. Installing them directly into Emulators and EmulatorJS Stuff is planned!

Sorry if there were any miscommunication: We have github and email support aswell, its just lots of people find talking in real time easier.

it works for anything you put into archives. Dont expect a metadata entry for software though. :D

Regarding modern systems, Microsoft Windows 10 is our minimum supported platform. You may get it to run on older OSes aswell.

it is mostly optimised for pc atm. it will save them perfectly fine and you can download and browse them using this as well, but its still on our roadmap to build in a web based emulator, native emulator support and auto-install for roms. See details here

Honestly im not too familiar with launchbox, but from the looks of it: Launchbox has no server-side component, no steam-store-like experience, for a small community of friends and family I think. its just a front-end. We also have no fancy ROM features yet, just support for downloading them. We do have auto-extract, auto-install and so on. Also, our source code is available and not closed source.
