RomVault is a utility for managing your ROM collections.
I found it to be user friendly and fairly easy to use. It supports TorrentZip and files in ZIP, 7Z and CHD.

Notes

Install Mono

Install the mono-complete package appropriate for your version of your Linux distro.

Create a Launcher Shortcut

The RomVault application is designed to write configuration files and its Cache file to the same directory as the executable. Its important to launch RomVault using mono from the same directory as the RomVault executable. You may find it helpful to create a launcher shortcut to do this.

Open a text editor

Paste the following into your text file:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Hidden=false
Name=ROMVault
Path=/home/gordonj/Desktop/ROMVault
Exec=mono /home/gordonj/Desktop/ROMVault/ROMVault3.exe
Icon=/home/gordonj/Desktop/ROMVault/romvault.ico

Modify the Path, Exec, and Icon lines as needed
Save the file with the name ROMVault.desktop and save it to your desktop
Right click the file and select Properties
Select the Permissions tab
Enable Allow executing file as program
Close the Properties window
Right click the file and select Allow Launching

ⓘ NOTE:
RomVault does not come packaged with a separate icon file. You can use your own .png or .ico file for your launcher shortcut image.

Launch RomVault

You can now Launch RomVault by double clicking your newly created shortcut.

Alternately, you can launch RomVault via the command line with mono from the RomVault executable directory:

Open the Terminal application
Navigate to your RomVault executable directory
Launch with mono ./ROMVault3.exe
