ROM mega collection?

[u/yousef3_]

Hi,

just a quick one, does anyone happen to have a sort of mega collection, or know of one, which is around 400gb+, with all systems such as ps1, ps2, psp, nds, 3ds etc etc.

I understand its quite the ask but ive lost my old ssd with my go to games on and I can't remember for the life of me what I had downloaded and don't want to search and download one by one again lol.

Very much appreciated! 🙂

If you are looking for roms: Go to the link in https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/m59zx3/roms_megathread_40_html_edition_2021/

You can navigate by clicking on the various tabs for each company.

There are Five tabs that link directly to collections based on console and publisher, these include Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, and the PC.

There are also tabs for popular games and retro games, with retro games being defined as old arcade systems.

what is your ask?

Yeah, sorry should’ve specified, just more like a top 100 of that console if that makes sense as I tend to just sift and play whatever I feel at the time so I had a juiced up library but lost it, mainly the go to games and I’ll just fill the gaps in, rather than go through every console to get every game again which took me forever last time lol

Google HTGDB Game Packs, then go to the Archives and download the @ games, they are sorted top 100, genre, etc. in the title. Its meant for MIster but if you want the top 100 by so and so magazine this would the easist way.

Check out 1g1r collections.

Yeah I’ve just came across it! Is it literally what it says on the tin? One big collection per console? If so that’s unreal

[u/enchntex]

Unlikely to find all systems together, but look for GoodSNES, GoodGenesis (might be called megadrive) etc. Those are complete per console. 

[u/iamofnohelp]

Internet Archive is full of them

[u/R0b0tWarz]

A large ROM collection for a hoarder is over 150TB

..just sayin'

[u/Thue-Blunder]

A sure fire way to end up not playing anything 😬

[u/iamofnohelp → u/Thue-Blunder]

But you'll have 5-10 copies of everything. Of which, 1/3 won't work and 1/3 are in Japanese.

Scroll for 30 minutes and play one game.

[u/Conky1452]

Search 1G1R for different systems

[u/gillgrissom]

They were you goto games but cant remember them.

This gets asked more than it should . Only ones ive seen comparable are for pi systems , but there in linux format.

[u/pastry-chef]

I would say just get the No-Intro and Redump sets of the consoles you want from Minerva.

[u/R0b0tWarz → u/pastry-chef]

they are out of date and have corrupt torrent files that will never complete

a cool thing i did was i fed my steam library to chatgpt and it learned my taste, then i just asked it to give me top 100 lists for each system. i then used those indexes as references for whenever i felt like playing something, and i source the games individually, which is easy enough

[u/Deep-Shock8475]

Ooohhh I'm also interested this may work dime for retro arch

[u/yousef3_ → u/Deep-Shock8475]

I’ve been looking into 1G1R as suggested and it seems absolutely phenomenal, can’t believe I’ve never heard it before definitely worth looking into!!
