fromlostdays Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Currently at 74,000, but still less than 8 TBs of space. Handpicked for bigger disk systems, lots of 1g1r sets, all hacks, translated, etc. versions imported as additional apps to the main game, but with a lot of the mame software list imported. Collection very much has duplicate games across systems. A few of the older PC systems imported I haven't been able to get working. So, I can't say the entire collection works, but just to give an idea. I see people talking about 16 plus terabytes and I'm assuming they are doing full lists for PS2 and up.

-McFly- Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Currently a little over 900,000 with 35TB. Everything zips down to about 23TB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 130 (i think it was 130 could be bigger) was the full Alvro set, but I think that was fractured years ago. You can find remnants on archive org. The 22,000 NES romset is part of GoodRoms sets. It *might* be the most complete NES romset if it really does include all the bootlegs, hacks, homebrews, unlicensed, etc. From my light compairing of my previous biggest set (NES2.0) it seems to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xevious1974 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I am about 25Tb with more than 200k But I have added some soundtracks, a lot of flash games and my favourite anime ( old toons, like He-Man, Kyashan and so on), and my Magazine!! Zzap, Ace, Videogiochi etc. Instead adding atm I am deleting windows game that I dont like, or that I have finished and I dont want to keep. Now I am on ZetZillions, I dont know if it is a great game or a foul game. I Love LB/BB because I can have all in one place. I'd like to add also my books..I'll add later, I have my kindle that can explode. Game on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Kant Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 How do you all Ensure you are importing new games and not a copy of a game with another naming? For me it is a mess of work especially because not every game has a perfect naming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided a while back that to be sure every game was correctly named I'd have to play them, or at least start them up to make sure. There's too many, so I don't.

If you cannot, at least you have that option available. I know what you mean. at the moment I have nothing and keep it as it is or spend 15bucks and "just" have half way through. I know that I am looking for something bigger that compares my files to find doubles, bring the exact naming plus sort it for me. lets see what the future can handle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only looking at files that were renamed, redated or similar. byte by byte isn't something I'd consider from a hobbyist perspective just to save space. I have saved hundreds of GB of space using this. You may want or need more space saved which goes beyond my needs.

I have saved hundreds of GB of space using this. You may want or need more space saved which goes beyond my needs. if you are using multiple sources for games it is sometimes hard to manage to see if there are multiple times the same game in your system. especially if you are fighting with game hacks. therefore I would like to know if I have multiple identical copies beside of naming and size. I have trouble to manage this completely manually with the many retro games I have. and checksums are also important for Retroarch. I will not really save space at all because those games on ROMs rarely archived two digits or more (more than 10) of mb. and I have a lot of space. I just want to increase the quality of my collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does do CRC matching (free version), I just tried it on some videos at least.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I’ve been using the free tool Anti-Twin for this kind of stuff for years now and it works completely fine for my needs. It also features byte-by-byte comparison. https://antitwin.org/en/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
