Note: If you're reading this doc because you're starting an arcade emulation project, begin by reading Getting Started with Arcade Emulation.

I did build my arcade/neogeo rom sets from scratch though so they’re compatible where needed. My game list for my arcade and consoles is slimmed down and not overwhelming. I have maybe 30-40 games for my consoles except for tg-16 which is maybe 20 total. My arcade is maybe 120. I have all the neo geo games except for a few i don’t care to have.
In addition, No-Intro sets are updated frequently as new or more accurate ROMs are found. Basically what you get in a No-Intro set is equivalent to what was on the original cartridges. What are the numbers next to each set? After the Name of the set there are parentheses and numbers. This is the date when the set was last updated in Year-Month.
If you're looking for a clean, almost 1:1 set for a console, No-Intro is definitely the way to go. These sets do not include bad dumps, overdumps, hacks, or any other types of images. 1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0.

What are the Neo Geo Roll-Up Packs? The Roll-Up Pack List is a record of known ROMs that can be placed on an SD card for a complete Darksoft Neo Geo MVS & AES Multi setup. It includes every Neo Geo MVS/AES game that is playable on the Multis. The newer Neo Geo Pocket Color is fully backward compatible and can play all games released for the Neo Geo Pocket.' (Wikipedia) What is No-Intro? No-Intro is a project to create complete rom collections for various systems. It aims to provide roms which are accurate to their physical counterparts.

Correct ROM versions are essential.

So how do you tell you have the right ROM if you aren't sure that your set matches the version required by the emulator you chose? What if you don't have the right version?

Note: the process of verifying and rebuilding ROMs is complex and requires a substantial investment of time and effort in order to master. If your goal is to have working ROMs, it is almost always simpler to download a full ROM collection that has already been verified to match the emulator you chose.

Once you begin working with software tools to help validate, rebuild, or filter your ROM collection, you will quickly encounter the need for 'DAT' files, so named because they usually (but not always!) have the file extension .dat.

DATs describe the ROM contents including filenames, file sizes, and checksums to verify contents are not incorrect or corrupt. DATs are usually maintained either by emulator developers (such as with MAME or FinalBurn Neo) or digital preservation organizations like TOSEC and No-Intro. Almost all DATs are volunteer efforts and represent one of the most important and impressive outcomes of the video game preservation community.

In order to verify or rebuild a set, you need its corresponding DAT file and a software tool to process the DAT. For example, the authors of RetroArch recommend that Super Nintendo Entertainment System ROM collections be validated against the No-Intro 'Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System' DAT. ROM collections for use with the MAME 2003 emulator should be validated against a 'MAME 0.78' DAT (such as the one found in its metadata folder). And so on.

This doc assumes that the user is working with ClrMamePro, one of the most popular ROM management tools. ClrMamePro is not the only option available, however. Popular ROM verification tools include:

clrmamepro (Windows)
clrmamepro (OSX)
romcenter (Windows)
Romulus (Windows)
RomVault (Windows & Linux)

These Windows tools can be run on Linux (x86) using Wine. RomVault can be run natively on Linux using Mono.

Filtering ROM collections

No-Intro 1 Game, 1 ROM DATs (aka Parent-Clone DATs)

1G1R DATs (aka Parent-Clone DATs) allow you to create a '1 game, 1 ROM' collection from a full No-Intro set. For example, you can set ClrMamePro to filter your set based on a preference of USA ROMs > then EUR > then JPN.

The resulting set of ROMs will feature a USA version of a game whenever possible, then look for a EUR region ROM for that title, and finally use the JPN only if no USA or EUR ROMs are in the folder. All regions with releases in a given system are supported (in other words you could set a preference of Spain > Europe > USA > Italy > Japan > etc.)

No-Intro's DAT-o-MATIC (DoM) also allows you to download DATs for their currently supported systems, and DATs in latest Logiqx's XML format which contain Parent-Clone information for the system. Both of these DATs can be obtained, as available, from the DAT-o-MATIC on the No-Intro website.

Filtering arcade collections

The lr-mame2003 core and lr-mame2010 core maintain a catver.ini file in their github repositories. catver.ini can be used with ROM management tools such as ROMLister, Simple Arcade Multifilter and MFM - Mame File Manager in order to sort and filter a MAME collection by genre or by other tags, such as whether it includes 'Mature' content.

It is possible to 'rebuild' from one version of an ROM collection to another. If you also have access to ROMs from a newer or older ROM collection you can 'roll forward' or 'roll back' your ROM version.

The wiki pages for MAME, FB Neo, and Neo Geo include DATs and detailed information about the ROM sets needed for the various arcade emulators.

The remainder of this section of the docs is devoted to a demonstration of using ClrMamePro to rebuild and validate arcade ROM sets. The tutorial uses a MAME 0.37b5
