The record

Purpose: ROMSorter detects and renames ROMs and other games.
Archive handling: It can zip files, convert supported archive formats by extracting and zipping them, and extract archives in a folder.
Catalogs: It saves file names and hashes to a catalog that can later be checked to confirm files have not changed.
DAT support: It can create DAT files for use by other ROM manager apps and rename single-file games using a supplied DAT file.
CHD conversion: It converts BIN/CUE or ISO files to CHD and extracts CHD files back to BIN/CUE using chdman.
1G1R sorting: It can build a one-game, one-ROM set from a Parent/Clone DAT and lets users prioritize regions.
Everdrive sorting: Its Everdrive sort places games into folders by starting letter for devices with a low per-folder file limit.
M3U playlists and patches: Release 6 adds M3U playlist generation from CHD, BIN/CUE, and ISO disc formats, plus batch IPS/BPS patching.
Platforms and runtime: The repository says ROMSorter currently releases for Win-x64 only, while its Librarian command-line companion is available for all platforms; the apps require .NET 6.
Linux and macOS dependency: Librarian users on Linux or Mac must provide an appropriate chdman build from MAME to use CHD commands.
License and warranty: The software is MIT licensed and provided without warranty.
Maker's stated focus: The maker says the goal is a simple, easy ROM manager focused on speed rather than reproducing everything in ClrMamePro.
