I have recently discovered the world of No-Intro rom sets and images. I won't go into details about the roms but these guys are putting a lot of effort into doing things in a unified/organized manner as far as the images are concerned.

Many people and resources come and go in this community and projects die but this one seems to have a good future and is going very strong at the moment. You can check out their site here:

Be usre to click on the link to the associated Screenshot Archive (not the one we all visit frequently) in the middle section. It will take you here:

Personally I have donated and plan on investing quite a bit of time and effort to help the project. I realize that most people here and at Mameworld just take and very few give back. Well, here is your chance to get involved in a worthwile project, IMHO. A little bit of everyones time can make a big difference for many of us. Visit the forums on the second link at see how you can help.

This is so cool, I hate all the bad dumps and crap that good tools have kept alive.

Howard_Casto:
jc please don't compare our patrons to the most of the clowns over at mameworld.  Not saying they are perfect, but they are definately above mameworld quality.  ;)



It seems like a good idea.  I only wish I hadn't thrown out all my snes boxes a few months ago.  They were trashed, but a decent scan could have been made. 

However I have a pretty large collection of nes,snes and n64 carts.  Most of the boxes and manuals are long gone, but when I have a slow evening I'll try to scan a bunch a send em over.

I have converted my entire cabinet to the sets that they currently have available and am anxiously awaiting more. I think if we could get a descent "cabinet" standard (like this one) then maybe some of the FE devs may put the effort into building a rom filter into their FE. None of the one's I have tried (haven't tried the all though) have it built in except for mame which relies on an external file.

Must have not tried dk then... it's had a rom filter since day 1. 

Also you can sort via wildcard searches, so you could easily filter off all the bootleg and hacked roms... assuming they are properly labeled of course.  (Which goodtools usually does).

Dk makes lists based on clrmamepro dat files, so popping one of these dats from this project into it's dats folder should work just fine. 


p.s.  Mame isn't a fe, and it doesn't use an external file, unless you are talking about mame32 and the catver.ini which has absolutely nothing to do with the roms themselves rather the game type.  (Also dk has supported catvers not only for mame but any emu since day 1). 

I'm not trying to self-promote here, but dk isn't just another pretty face... it's the back-end that's the most impressive.  ;)
