Research direction

The issue provides only the GameJolt ROM-games URL and does not name a repository file, test, or entry point. Start by locating how this repository imports or scrapes game listings, then determine how a GameJolt source could be represented without relying on console distinctions that the linked page does not provide.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

https://gamejolt.com/games/new?os=rom

Might be more useful once we have more platforms, as they do not distinguish between different consoles at the search filter level.
