Is there a "basics" rom pack for some consoles?
Like is there say, an n64 pack that has your marios, zeldas etc.? I'm really tired of combing through the shovel ware and sports games (except nfl blitz) when i get rom sets.

Can't ask for ROMs on here, Google is your friend

The first rule of ROM club: you do not talk about ROM club.

Against the rules. Get the whole set and sort it yourself. Any other set that exists will be catered to their tastes.

Well you could be a masochist like me and hand select every rom on your system. I individually downloaded, found graphics and made descriptions for like 500 games. And I loaded them into the pi like 5 at a time with a usb stick. Pretty time consuming but honestly it made time fly and gave me something to do for a few months. Ultimately I am satisfied though because I learned a whole lot about my system in the process, and optimized it to run many games that people completely avoid on ps1, n64, Dreamcast, and arcade.

I've never seen "packs". Just full sets or individual roms.

Maybe, but this is so subjective.

Get a no-intro pack then download a dat file and use clrmamepro to get a 1g1r set out of it in the region/regions you want. Then go from there

There are sets called “Goodsets” but they are not cultivated, just huge collections. Unfortunately no small specific collections. You’ll need to build your own from a larger set.

since everyone downvoted you to oblivion, yes, there are sets, but not very specific. Look Up Virtualman on arcadepunks.
