It says I have the current CW as I am using my same SD card from before, but I can't download/ install a new ROM, restore one, or anything.
You might aware of the Steam App, which is a video game digital distribution service by Valve. And, Steam ROM Manager(SRM) is an open-source program to import and manage ROMs into Steam. You just have to set up a gaming emulated system and ROMs in SRM. And, it will find emulator and ROMs and put them in the steam App as non-steam games. After that, you will able to run retro games directly from the steam game library without any hassle.
What is ROMs?
ROMs are the modernized version of old gaming cartridges you used to play on vintage console. In simple words, it is the digital version of the game cartridge data. (Or, we can say, it is just a game file like Android APK.)

Play Retro Games with Steam.
This process might look complicated because of so many steps, but it is quite easy. For all this, you need a Windows computer. Yes, Stream ROM Manager is available for macOS and Linux. But, I have tested it in my Windows 10 PC. You can replicate all steps on a Mac. Though, for some users, it didn’t work well in their Macbook.
Download and Install these programs.
We”ll need three programs for this whole process to Play Retro Games on Steam. The first one is obviously Steam, which will help us to stream retro games from PC to TV and smartphone. The next program that you need to install and setup is the Retroarch. RetroArch is the program that will help you to emulate and run the games in emulators. It is a cross-platform front-end for emulators and game engines. And finally, we’d use Steam ROM Manager (SRM) to add retro games to the steam library. Here are the links of all three programs, download and install them on your Windows PC.
Install and Setup RetroArch.
1. Once you have done the installation of all three programs. Do open RetroArch on your PC. After that, click on Load Core > Download a Core in RetroArch
What is Core?.
Steam Rom Manager Setup
Cores are basically emulators for different consoles. And, in RetroArch core updater, you will find out many Cores for different consoles. I mostly like to play Nintendo games (like Super Mario Bros).
2. So, here, I am installing “Nintendo – NES / Famicom (FCEUmm)”. You can also do the same, by clicking on the core name. Or, you can install a different Core of your choice.
3. After installing the core, it’s time to test a Game. And for that, you need a game ROM file. As you can see, I have installed the Nintendo core to play Nintendo Games. So, I need a Nintendo ROM. And, ROM file will be with a “.nes” extension. (NES Games are available for free on many sites, just do “google” it.)
Here, I am assuming you have the game file. From the main menu, click on “Load Content” and navigate to the directory where game ROM is stored. Click on the ROM to play the game.
Enable Full Screen.
After confirming that game is working properly. There is one more thing that you need to do in RetroArch. Go to RetroArch main menu, click on Settings > Video > FullScreen Mode > Enable “Start in full screen mode”. This will be helpful while playing retro games using the steam link.

Setup Steam ROM Manager.
1. Do open Stream ROM Manager, that, you have installed earlier. And, click on “Parsers” from the left pane.
