Currently the project works with Atari - Playstation systems but the creator says they are adding new consoles and features. Its supposed to be a user friendly launchbox frontend that uses <Link snipped> servers for cloud gaming. Maybe one day they could make it so you can use the Repo servers. It currently doesn't allow you to use your own library but I cant imagine them not adding that sooner than later.
The following is the reddit post and what the creator posted: https://old.reddit.com/r/emulators/comments/1jwx6ux/cloudbox_standalone_game_launcher/
This was initially a project to integrate cloud rom functionality to Launchbox, but some friends wanted something easier to use, so I created a simple frontend for it. The main idea is to provide access to thousands of games while using minimal SSD space. No configuration is needed; simply select a game, download, and play!
The app displays lists of titles from various old consoles. It handles the scraping, download process, extraction (if needed), and then launches the game directly in RetroArch. The app includes gameplay screenshots by default so you can select and discover "new-old" games.
Browsing is exceptionally fast and can be controlled with a keyboard, mouse, or any XInput-compatible controller.
It features a search function for both keyboard and controllers, a favorites filter, browsing by letter, etc.
You can easily add games to your favorites (per console) using the X button or F1.
Since it utilizes Erista servers, download speeds are very efficient; for example, a PSX game can be launched in under a minute, non-disc games run immediately.

More consoles will be added in the coming weeks. The app is free, but support is appreciated.

Disclaimer: This app does not include any ROMs. It is simply a frontend with a custom downloader app that scrapes public servers for files. You must provide the server URL to be able to use it, check readme for details.
