Important 2025 Plex Updates — We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

Before starting the game, select a save and/or state file to load (if one is available). Anytime you save the game (or create a save state), the save and state files stored with RomM will be updated, so there's no need to manually download or upload them.
