From the README
A cross-platform launcher for the eXoDOS collections. Browse, download, and play DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, and ScummVM games on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Exodium would not exist without the extraordinary work of the eXoDOS project and its creator, eXo. Over many years, eXo and the eXoDOS community have painstakingly collected, configured, and preserved over 9,000 DOS games, each one pre-configured to run out of the box. The result is an irreplaceable archive of gaming history.
Exodium is a frontend client for that collection. It does not host or distribute any game files; it uses the eXoDOS torrents that you seed yourself. If you find value in Exodium, please consider supporting the eXoDOS project directly at retro-exo.com.
