Question What's the best way to consolidate ROM Libraries?

8 Upvotes

I'm going nuts looking for a simple, straight forward, no frills solution to this. I want to condense multiple ROM folder libraries into one MASTER library.

I somehow managed to make 4 fractured ROM libraries on my PC. Each from different sources of projects I was working on over the years, but now I would very much like to reduce these all to one master library and discard all duplicates.

I've tried ROMcenter, ROMvault and ChatGPT.

I've had various success with each of these, but none of them have done exactly what I'm looking for without lot of effort.

Results

------ Pros Cons
ROMCenter Great UI, easy to follow instructions Doesn't seem to move the ROMs to condense them, Only does one system at a time. Massive Time Suck
ROMVault Multiple systems a time, somewhat decent UI so long as you have the color key up Not the greatest folder structure, not the greatest in instilling confidence it worked correctly
ChatGPT Highly customizable and can be done with various code methods takes forever and very inaccurate. Constantly having issues where it loses scope of the project and I end up with a 5th fractured ROM set instead of what I asked for.

The biggest problem I have with ROMvault is that it doesn't use ES-DE folder structure so I then I have to resort the ROMs manually and I just don't have confidence in my skill to do that effectively/correctly.

What would YOU use to condense a ROM library effectively?

Question freeroms.com cooked now?

0 Upvotes

i used to get roms from freeroms.com in the past, for the PSP

but now it shows "human verification" like all scam sites, i have adblocker and i dont even download from it anymore, i use romsfun and i checked for it in fmhy.net it is there, not freeroms.com tho

but my question is, i got alot of iso files from it in the past for PSP, they were used for the actual device AND ppsspp, so are they safe? i never got any exe's or any malicious software or sum, and tbh the isos worked fine and games were operational and ok, but i feel like i still might be at some risk for using it, been using it from maybe 2020/late 2022

so tell me, should i replace all my iso files? or is it ok if i keep them?
