@nihilon_on_xbl
No-Intro it's currently working on NES2.0 headered DAT, but it's in very early stages, the headers will be mostly based on the NewRisingSun XML (https://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=19940 ), but for now, I recommend the unheadered DAT with header skipper until the headered DAT matures a bit more.

@Fugus
I rebuild the ROM sets by using the no-intro database, so I have no control over the filenames.
You can learn about no-intro naming convention here: https://datomatic.no-intro.org/stuff/The%20Official%20No-Intro%20Convention%20(20071030).pdf
The filenames are based on the cart\box art title, even if some cases the title might be different in-game, if you feel some filenames are wrong, you can submit a ticket on the official website: https://datomatic.no-intro.org/

@ZeroEG
No matter how many times I report, that user shows up with a brand new account :\ I have no control over the comments.

@Rod-Alexander Georgescu
If you meant the Retroarch database, they only sync with no-intro databases from time to time, it's often days or weeks outdated, adding ROMs manually and hoping they update it in the future it's the way to go.

There are only complete sets for a specific time frame because the ROM sets are always having updates, not every game it's preserved yet, also there are new prototypes and brand new games to be dumped, plus some platforms receive more love than others. There are many people downloading ROMs, but there is not many dumping their own games and reporting the hashes to the databases.

For TOSEC sets check this archivist: https://archive.org/details/@genexo

For MAME SL: https://archive.org/download/mame-sl/mame-sl/

If you have any issues with Retroarch databases, report here: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database or in the Retroarch forums.

@gwarguy
Just double-checked, and the file it's there:
https://archive.org/download/no-intro_romsets/no-intro%20romsets/Nintendo%20-%20Super%20Nintendo%20Entertainment%20System%20%2820220418-045716%29.zip/Little%20Master%20-%20Nijiiro%20no%20Maseki%20%28Japan%29%20%28Beta%29.zip

Probably you have downloaded an older version before I reupload the latest set.

@ cl3v3landstmr
It's fixed now, thanks ;)

@rurouni30
Paprium isn't exactly a Megadrive ROM, due to FPGA chips inside the cart, you can read more about it here: https://github.com/libretro/Genesis-Plus-GX/issues/275

@bentix21
I tend to update this archive often, so if the links on the front page do not work, try accessing the files here: https://archive.org/download/no-intro_romsets/no-intro%20romsets/
If the issues remain, try to clean the browser cache and\or try another browser.

With the change to only supporting the 2.0 set, is the proper way to validate this set by grabbing the unheadered .dat from DAT-o-MATIC and scanning it against the set with the no-intro NES iNES header skipper enabled? I use Mesen with Retroarch if that helps.

Thanks!!!

Just wanted to point out with the Game Boy set, "Mystic Quest" is just "Final Fantasy - Adventure"

Not sure if you can update the naming scheme to reflect that for people who don't know and trying to avoid getting repeats.

Either way, much appreciated man, one Chad to another, you help more people than you know.

I think you should report that PaulaFox. Not even here is safe.

ok thank you for the answer

So I wasn't crazy with my N64 Big Endian page not found issue. I'm glad someone was able to duplicate the issue I was experiencing.

@ChadMaster

Looks like my links got messed up because I posted them inside parenthesis.

Here's the direct links for the N64 files so you can see what I'm talking about.

Landing page: https://archive.org/download/no-intro_romsets/no-intro%20romsets/Nintendo%20-%20Nintendo%2064%20%28BigEndian%29%20%2820220301-042134%29%20%28MIA%202%29.zip

See that they're different? The file link on the Landing page doesn't work and generates a "Page Not Found" error, while the link on the Downloads page works. All that needs to happen is the file link on the Landing page be updated to match the file link on the Downloads page.

Thank you so much for your effort!

Games like "Paprium" (Aftermarket / Modern release) from Sega Mega Drive - Genesis can be implemented in this addition list or in a later bonus list of the similar category?

I found most of the newly launched modern games, but this one in particular didn't find it.

Hello,
The link for SNES is broken (as well for Atari2600, GB Color & GBA).
Nonetheless a big thanks ChadMaster to provide those links & to keep them updated with NoIntro updates.

2022/3/28
Ok.Thank you very much for your prompt reply
I"m feels this is incomplete sets,
So More Japan versions roms data will be lost in it pack,
I give up on that.I had no choice but go to
redownload a old [goodsets]pack in now.

thank you your messy shares ^_^"

@jplike, before ruling perhaps it is better to inquire: https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=download&s=3&op=daily
... and then, 1g1r means "1 game 1 rom", so you are comparing apples with pears, moreover with pears that are at least 1 year old since the "Hearto's 1g1r collection" is updated to the romset "No-intro - 2021 -01-04 ", this just for your information.

@ChadMaster
Thank you very much for your hard work, for the brave enthusiasm and dedication!

I propose to make an addition to the description of your topic according to the comment of a friend @MrBamse. And supplement as needed.
It will be very useful information for beginners, which is difficult to find even in open sources.

@MrBamse
The words of gratitude written above also belong to you :-)

This is what i managed to figure out.
Hope it helps someone out there understand the difference, I know I felt like a n00b :)

QD feels cleaner since it's Nintentos own format and some Zelda games intro had proper intro

Can I ask you please if there is a curator, like no-intro, but for homebrews.. it seems no-intro doesn't include many homebrews in their database like "2004mbit" for GBA 😕. No-intro is perfect and so your breathtaking efforts.. but I looked for homebrew sets everywhere and found no clue.

It's not difficult for anyone, send a torrent to this set!
s.stepan.b@mail.ru
And then downloading ZIP is some kind of hell!

UPD: In the "Entex - Adventure Vision" set from the "No-Intro (2021-09-14) (PD)" set from pleasuredome.org.uk, there was a "Table Tennis (Europe)" ROM, but not here.
And there was also a set of "Mobile - Palm OS" consisting of two games.
And there are no sets "Amstrad - CPC" and "Sharp - X68000"

You are the best!

I just want to say:

Thank you so much for all this!
Impressive work!
Very good!
10/10

Words are not enough for the work you have been doing.
I just want to sincerely thank you and wish you all the best.

I'd like to download certain sets like the SNES, Genesis, GBA and whatnot, but the lack of a torrent or magnet link is a deal breaker. It would be so much faster if there was a dedicated torrent.

Please add one!.

Would it be possible that they add the Microsoft Xbox 360 DLC?

is posssible amiga cd32 in chd?

The Game Gear section contains so many unnecessary versions for one game. I understand having 4 versions of a game or so, but it was much worse. 18 versions of “The Berenstain Bears’ Camping Adventure”? Is that really necessary? Or 30 versions of “Sports Trivia Championship Edition”? I appreciate that you’ve collected these no intro roms here, but it was a pain to go through all those duplicates and remove them.

I’ve made a list of some of the cases of too many versions for a game.

Adventures of Batman & Robin: 9 versions
Aladdin: 5 versions
Asterix and the Great Rescue: 7 versions
Berenstain Bears’ Camping Adventure: 18 versions
Bonkers Wax Up: 14 versions
Chicago Syndicate: 25
Dynamite Headdy: 6
Legend of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse: 7
Lion King: 12
NBA Action starring David Robinson: 31
NFL '95: 14

Shining Force the Sword of Hajya: 6
Sonic Blast: 7
Sonic Spinball: 21
Sports Trivia: 8
Sports Trivia Championship Edition: 30

Taz in Escape from Mars: 15
Tempo Jr.: 10
World Series Baseball '95: 7
X Men Mojo World: 8

The download speed is very slow and you can't download it through free download manager that doesn't work with these files I don't know why. How to solve this problem ?

Trimmed the rom with a hex editor. Worked first try.

I spent half a day using 5 search engines and places like your link for Hercules do not come up. If that were every day knowledge all my prototype needs would be fulfilled.

Hi Guys I Try To Download With JDownloader
And It's not Possible With Download Manager

I uploaded my 3DS set, and will upload my Wii U set next month, you can add it if you want.

Does anyone know if there are instructions on how to compile the Nintendo GameCube Source code in this set into .ISO files to use in dolphin?

Thanks for uploading this by the way! Always appreciate the work put into the retro community!!!

So is No-Intro starting to support non-cartridge formats (Floppy disks, Tapes, Etc) I sure hope that No-Intro should get all old Computer software in all formats which will supersede TOSEC & make that obsolete. & by the way it seems that Apple I is missing a Star Trek game I found on TOSEC.

only thing missing from this amazing set is a torrent, as a simple 1.9gb set says it takes over 3 hours to complete and I have really good internet download speeds!

Amazing amazing post! Only problem is, under the heading, "Sets Maintained by other archivists:", the link to
Nintendo - Nintendo DS (Decrypted) (20211215-064326) (Curated by Loggan) is dead. Loggan is uploading a new one. link to it is https://archive.org/details/nintendo-ds-7z

Just a question on the Retroplays. I noticed recently there are now two different versions of a few systems. Why is it necessary to have both of them? And is one recommended over another for whatever reason?

Also, I was a little curious about the frequency of updates myself. They're very much appreciated, but also make me think "are new dumps of NES/SNES games really showing up every single week?"

Certainly not a complaint though. You're doing the lord's work.

@ChadMaster
OK
I was with the impression that MAME is not interesting on 'fixing' chdman current issues with Dreamcast - Redump at all.
So looking at a recent comment on https://archive.org/details/chd_dc it appears that someone took up on himself to fix the issues with CHD thus I wonder if you could use that method instead.

Also it seems that TOSEC does not have the same problem as Redump so maybe it would be better to just go with TOSEC...

-----------------------

Understood!
Now been waiting almost a year for the Dreamcast-CHD (Redump) upload to finish!
As people mentioned on the comments it appears that there is now a way to make it accurate?

-----------------------

I just wonder why No-Intro often changes things and what changes are those. These sets are from old systems some of which are decades old and it is not like they are growing new games for them on trees... so unless No-Intro is finding a new/better ripping method on a weekly basis I really don't see why they need to re-rip a Rom that they already ripped.

-----------------------

Some of the sets get re-uploaded quite often and I want to know what exactly changes?
Do the existing individual ROMs of a set get replaced with completely new ROMs? if so what is the general reason to replace a perfectly working ROM with a new one?

For some reason, I can't view the contents of the Sega Genesis folder.

Entex - Adventure Vision (20210920-044453)

Just to throw it out there my homebrew and revisions folders on my sd card for my everdrive n8 is linked below if any games could be added to the packs.

Thanks again for maintaining this great project

Thanks for the answer.
You could split it into two parts, and update it once a year.
Even with a manager I can't even use 20% of the connection.
I would be very grateful if you can split in two parts in torrent as your collection is very important to the community.
Happy birthday.

you are missing the Ouya romset, I have it but it occupies 70.8 GB, if someone tells me a way to upload it at good speed I will share it and the No-Intro collection will be complete.

Thanks so much for these! My only wish is that it would work with ia command line, keeps saying item doesn't exist. Great release nonetheless!

Are there torrent links for any of these? I'm trying to get the updated Amiga set but it always stops downloading partway.

https://archive.org/details/nintendo-nintendo-ds-decrypted-20211025-053001

Do you have a 3DS rom set somewhere or recommend one? One with all versions of the game like yours

Here are the missing ROMs for the NES sets :

If you're zipping items then you could add 1G1R sets to the zip file and it wouldn't take up any extra space, provided they're the same files the compression ratio will be 100%.

Hello. First of all, thank you very much for your wonderful work.
How do I know what has changed in a pack after an update? Because I made important sorts and this manually of the different packs. Thank you in advance.

I can't find the:

Thx for again for your time and answer.

The FDSStick is a piece of hardware but in the archive there are these dirs:

- FDSStickRAW

Both includes this file:
Egger Land - Souzou e no Tabidachi (Japan) (Beta) (1987-11-11).zip

Why are the dir namend by "FDSStickBin" and "FDSStickRAW" and what are the diffs between them and what is the purpose of these dirs?

If "Egger Land - Souzou e no Tabidachi (Japan) (Beta) (1987-11-11).zip" is rom (game).

Why is not placed under:

Nintendo - Family Computer Disk System (FDS) (20210605-072150) [unheadered].zip

Best Regards

...but I'm dumb. My monthly bandwidth is quite limited, and I can't figure out how to sort each set for the newest ROMS to just update what I already have. (These have been done for torrentzip I'd guess)

Is there somewhere else on archive.org with just the updates?

Thanks for any help!

@chadmaster
Split may not be the word I was looking for but you how some downloads have a mirror in case one source is down or heavily being used at the moment. Something like that but I couldn't think of the word for it.

The amount of effort to collect/pack and maintain the library( an many other things i can't even think of ) must be astounding.
Thanks to you guys i am able to play some of my childhood games again and more, so much more :)
I'd like to extend my thanks to every contributor, and if i could i'd buy you all a beer.

Missed Getsu Fuuma Den beta from current NES set

Thank you for making these sets available and up-to-date!

By the way, the file "Pokemon-e TCG - Expedition Base Set - B-84-# - Alakazam (USA).zip" in the Nintendo e-Reader set doesn't seem to match the latest dat. Could you take a look at this please?

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Can't thank you enough. It is impressive what you have done here, amazing.
I decided to update my NES/SNES sets after 7 years without touching it, and this is how I have found you. I was shocked when I realized what the NRS Set really is about.

One thing I am now looking for is a xmdb or something else that I can use to create a NRS merged set(each zip with all parent/clone/hacks/etc inside) the way I used to do with Cowering's GoodNes on GoodMerge. Unfortunately I can't say I will create/update a xmdb file myself any soon, so if you happen to know something please let me know.

Almost forgot, I am failing to understand the difference between the two DATs provided in the iNES20-NewRisingSun directory, could you please elaborate it a bit?

Again, thank you very much!

The link for Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System (20210621-070154) is missing. Cannot download.

Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (20210603-122241) [headered]
Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (20210603-122241) [unheadered]

They are linked to 20210531 files.

@Chadmaster, I was really asking if Im doing something wrong or if this is expected. Not asking you to do more work sorry if I came across that way and thank you for everything.

Im new to retroarch was strictly using stand alones previous.

Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World (USA).zip
(as of May 31 2021)

At first the game boots fine tot he title screen and menu, but when you attempt to run Mario World it corrupts. This does not happen with the European version.

Thanks for the great work, I hope you keep this alive and that it is never deleted, I hope you have some kind of backup on this page with another acc, I will save this in my favorites for when I can afford to save the data

Why am I getting this error when using a download manager?

You're still missing the point. I'm telling you to:
* completely ignore the archive.org created torrent
* put all new & changed files into a separate zip file per console, which you can continue to update
* keep the current zip files static so they can exist in a torrent which you *create yourself* with a torrent client.
The archive description literally starts with a disclaimer about needing login due to high bandwidth, which this would solve.
Yes, using a ROM manager is an option, but not one most people will use.

--- previous review ---
I'm not suggesting creating another archive, just adding all new & changed files after a certain date to a separate zip file per console and updating only those from that point forward. So roughly 99% by size would be in the current zip files which would no longer change. Then you can manually create a torrent (using any torrent client, not archive.org) of the unchanging zips containing all old files.

After that people could download 99% through a torrent and a relatively tiny file per console from here, and then extract the updated files on top of the older ones. Removed/renamed files could be replaced with empty files, making them easy to find & delete. This would be far faster than downloading 10s of GBs from archive.org, not to mention re-downloading them for a tiny update.

If someone doesn't know how to use torrents, they could just download 2 files per console from here.

Even if that is not feasible, thank you for this amazing work.

Thank you for sharing these treasures with the community. I'm really grateful. I was wondering if you plan to create a page that's dedicated to rom-hacks that improve the quality of life in games? Ones with applied patches. Similar to how you have done with your "Retroplay - English Translations" page.

I do have the full set processed with the dat (20200720-221834) how can I help?

Is there any software that would exteact CDN from the set or is it a whole different thing all together?

*UPDATE*
Tried the program. Keeps popping up a CMD window then disappears all within a split second. It's not doin', bro.

Here are all latest ROMs pack ---->>>>https://www.romspack.com

Your efforts here are hugely appreciated. Keep up the great work

Good job. Please consider the following:

1. Uploading separate ROMs instead of putting entire ROM set into a single archive.

2. At least use Zip with NO COMPRESSION for packing entire set (original and compressed sizes in the archive properties should be exactly equal), so that Archive.org could directly access individual ROMs by a simple byte offset inside the set with no need for prior unpacking the entire multigigabyte archive.

This should considerably increase download speed for end users.

P.S. You seem to consistently erroneously use "it's" (short form of "it is") instead of the "is" verb. For example, it should be:

* "this set _is_ here" instead of "this set _it's_ here";
* "This _is_ the recommended set" instead of "This _it's_ the recommended set", etc.

Best wishes.

Tank you so much for your work.

Thank you for the hard work!

Hi, @ChadMaster

Do you have the VTech - Mobigo set?

It contains 29 roms


Thanks

Bad Rom

Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 4 (Japan) (Beta) (1996-11-30)

Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time (Europe) (Beta) (2003-02-13) (GameCube)

Much obliged for your efforts friend, may I ask if you plan to update the torrent with the latest releases? While you have already done an outstanding job with the direct downloads, torrents are very handy for quite a few folks out there.

Thank you very much for this archive! It's great.

But I noticed that Ultracore (Europe) (Alt 1) (Aftermarket) is missing from the Sega - Mega Drive - Genesis pack.
Hope you can add it.

Thanks again!!!

A very complete collection.

For anyone wanting games i have put up my 18TB Drive to the web: https://rom-archive.de/

Use this for when you need a few games, if you want to download Terrabytes of Roms, use Archive.org for that, i can only handle a limited amount of traffic, will keep your set up to date on my webdrive.

I can curate the DS sets , I have 12 TB disk storage online, plus I am adding more soon.

thank you for making such a organized and efficient rom set for us gamers. this is a blessing from heaven because i had to keep looking around for roms and then i find this. finally time to play final fantasy xii (:
(just realized there wasnt ps2 on this idc il find it somewhere else)

What is Padding_File / 474? It will not download it. Do I need the padding files? I just want the roms.

I tried downloading JDownloader but I have no idea how to use this program.

Thank you

I just wanna say thank you for your hard work :3

I appreciate the work that goes into this. Thank you for all the good memories!

Thanks

We appreciate you, Chad!

This rom set seems to grow bigger each time i come back. Thanks for all your work & to the others who keep our nostalgia alive.

I am however getting issues in Jdownloader where its saying certain sets are unavailable, such as the GBA, NES Unheadered and Sega Genesis parts.

Also, I seen mention that using torrents is meh since the set gets updated frequently, how does one make sure their current set is up-to-date? Redownload it every so often or?

This is a really good pack.

What a fantastic collection.
I thank you for everything, Chad.

Will there be a set of Nintendo ds games? Other than that I love this

I've been maintaining my sets with yours since 2017. Thank you so, so much for your hard work!

Edited to add: @ChadMaster, I found at least one of the MIA files from Commodore - Amiga set!

I will download and seed the torrent, so that Internet Archive can save their bandwidth. ;)

Thanks for the content.

i cannot even begin to imagine how much effort has gone into this archive. cheers and many thanks!

I am downloading through torrent, and it is stuck at 99.9%.

.____Padding_File / 474 seems to be corrupt.

Is this file important?

I imagine that the one who reported you gave him a #retroorgasm.Anyone can get one from watching so many retro games together. :¬)

I wanted to ask you what is the difference between the DSi sets, I can't get information to clarify it, just that the CDNdec is decrypted.

Love it. Thank you!

I'll never know how much time/effort it goes into making these, but i can imagine it's quite a lot of energy/effort. Thank you so much for the hard work!

This is amazing, especially for the Big N's sets which are hard to find elsewhere. Thanks!!!

Confusion_18,
I 100% agree with you. These people have no idea the amount of work that goes into making and maintaining these sets. Just so random people can come along download all the work you put into keeping this updated daily. No thank you, or nothing. Just complaints about how your romsets should be maintained.

ChadMaster, thanks for the updates and keeping us up to date.

No-Intro doesn't do 3DO and PSX DATs, ChadMaster has CHD sets for those consoles on their profile and atrac17 has cue/bin 3DO and PSX sets. Ungrateful assholes like you downrating content cause it doesn't have "x" annoys me.

I find it has hundreds of games for lots of fun without having to download roms one by one. As well as scanning a bunch of roms into RetroArch and having almost 40000 roms is just heaven.
Would've reached a 5 star if it had 3DO and PSX roms, however.

A very arranged set of ROMs. The internet will thank you.

PSX and maybe PS2 roms? And 3DS roms?

Anyone know how to augument the .dat files with year/genre/publisher/description/urls to game databases and such ?
Is someone maintaining something like that or are there scripts to do it ?

Man, you are the best human being since cave man. Hard work to us have Fun!!! Congratulations Forever!!! Let me to do an question... Are there some way to make an clean romset with the manager roms apps with just oficial roms per region without repeat they? An tutorial for this Will be interesting... Big Hug from Brazil!!!

Hello,

It appears all romsets and some misc. items from this set are now locked and inaccessible, including those of us who are logged in.

Edit:. Nevermind, please disregard. Whatever caused the lockdown seems to be over and everything is back to normal.

How many gigabytes in total should this whole collection be if I were to download all of them?

Thanks sir
One last thing do you have vegas Casino by bold games on your Ds roms? Could not find it there

Just curious, what is the SNES Split folder for? It contains one game that is 1GB, I know its associated with an old SNES competition, but why is the file so large?

This is probably a dumb question, but which files are mame?

hello thanks you a lot i really appreciate.

Is Nintendo FDS2QD missing?
It gives the same download as QD2FDS, and I checked the content it is identical.

Is there no difference?

Hello I love what you did here!!! but i'm having trouble deleting files from the nintendo 64 collection its giving me an error now there stuck on my pc.

Could you please include the no-intro dats you used to create these sets? The dats from dat-o-matic do not match as they are constantly updated. Thanks for all you work on these sets.

I just called to say i love you!

Thank you for this, must have taken a lot of effort. Cheers to you and everyone who made this possible.

Good Job on a well Maintained Archive. I'm stealing as much as I can for when this Epic Archive disappears in the future.

Thanks for taking your time hosting these, and even more noticeably, including a nice explanatory README for those intrigued about the multiple different NES ROM types for instance.

Probably one of the most 'complete/updated' repositories of game ROMs on the Internet - and given it's hash-checkable with recent DATs that's always a good sign, I never liked the fact a lot of the old ROM sites in the day hosted ancient or mixed up ROM versions so to have consistency is great too.

You should add info on the differences between the byte-swapped and Big Endian N64 ROMs, as well as anything else that might be of discrepancy to newcomers.

Is there anything similar for Redump?!

Best maintained archive on the internet.

Thanks dude..

What if not logged in users just got the torrent with no webseeding so they could download from other peers? Maybe we should post the magnet link?

Can't understand why someone flagged this as sexual. Archive should thoroughly review flags like these.

Romsets

would you be able to update the torrent to current please?

Downloading the SNES Split version just gives me a rar with one game in it, Powerfest 94.

Today I checked back on this, and it says it may contain graphic sexual content. What?

I've noticed that every time these repositories get updated or reuploaded under a new record, the checksum changes for every file. Even ones that haven't been updated but were just reuploaded end up getting a new sha1 checksum. They still match the no-intro database when examining their contents, but it's rather problematic when trying to make sure all the preservations are matched.

This project is awesome and it´s constantly being updated.

Thank you and much appreciation to the creators. You guys are awesome and have brought me back down memory road again.

Best Ever. Keep Up The Excellent Work.

Say no more. thank you very much for all of those who involved in collecting this massive childhood memory and putting it in 1 place. thanksss

Thank you for all your work

Doesn't seem to be able to download gba roms

Hi, the romsets are great. One thing I think it could be better is to not change the name of folders such as

Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (20201026-071535) [headered]/'89 Dennou Kyuusei Uranai (Japan).zip

So that the links to the archive won't be dead.
Maybe the date can be a file in the folder.
Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for all the Romsets

i have a pb with "Nintendo - Nintendo DSi (Digital) (20200731-061141)" : i can download juste a piece of, not all.
This pb appear with a direct download or torrent :-/

I have Rom A to R, after that it's broken.

Thanks for helping me

Best Regards
(sorry for my poor english)

Using the torrent is slow and stop downloading at 43%. I have to manually download the zip files one by one. Is the list being updated? Thank you for your time. ♥

Are these supposed to be clean? When I try to use these for patching, I get that the patch is not intended for these. Any input to help me?

This compilation of romsets is amazing! The Mega Drive/Genesis romset doesn't want to finish downloading for some reason, though. It gets through most of the download before failing.

This has been the best resource to find what I was missing. Would it be possible to include the dat file used for the sets? I'd like to rebuild mine and have a rom tool tell me which ones I need to be up to date. I can only find the latest on datomatic.

Thanks for this! Question re: NES Header set... i downloaded the header set not [headered_iNES2.0_NRS(xml date)] I am using Retropie should i use iNES2.0? (does it make a difference )? Also where do i put that header file ? Thanks!

\no-intro_romsets\no-intro romsets\Nokia - N-Gage (20081203).zip is infected with Trojan.SymbOS.Q.

Is "Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Combined) (20200825-150106)" a broken link (says item not found) or just not ready yet? Thank you for your hard work!

Are you uploading 1G1R Sets for each romset? Very much appreciation for your work sir.

so much easier to seed that way

Great collection to store those classic Nintendo ROMs and DS ROMs set in my 4TB external HDD. Thank you dude.

Oh ok, I didn't realize it was supposed to be in there. I thought it was a mistake. Thanks for clarifying that

It looks like this game is missing and also not listed as missing.

I tihnk something got miexed up here. The list in the website is 86 files long. While the lift on the right, whe looking at "ZIP" file list, it has 88 files. Like, Gameboy Advance is also double existing there. (one from may, one from july)

Until yesterday, the Nintendo-Misc (20200712-074912).zip file existed, but I wonder why it disappeared.

Thank you for sharing this labour of love.
Greetings form Portugal.

Ah okay, that makes sense, thank you. Do you have any insight when a new dump might become available for an NDS pack?

Thank you for this amazing romset!

@TinMan1325
Neo Geo is considered an Arcade machine. No-Intro doesn't catalog Arcade systems. You'd have to look into Arcade romsets.

RomVault found these 2 missing Amiga roms in my ToSort folders.
They were posted on The Zone.

City Defence + Fortress Underground (Europe) (Compilation - Powerbox)
Sumera + Takado (Germany) (Compilation - Powerbox)

https://archive.org/details/amiga-mia

Any plans to include Nintendo DS(i) and Nintendo (New) 3DS in the future?

Do these ROMs open with files called .bin or are they corrupted?

@darleyni

Thanks for clearimg thsat up for me!

Just get the No-Intro 2020 Rom Set.

How does one get in contact with you, might have some of the MIA ones

In Atari - 2600 (20200215-222027).zip, "Tunnel de L'Estace, Le (Europe).a26" is a bad name. The good name is "Tunnel de L'Espace, Le (Europe).a26". Can you fix that please? Thank you. Best regards.

Damn thanks for these packs! Just wanna mention that "Nintendo SufamiTurbo" pack have the wrong link, it points to Sattelaview.

Thanks very much for NES roms with correct headers!

Great collection, thanks! =D
