#Goodn64 rom set update
Each Good tool takes years to update so they miss a lot of new prototypes and dumps current no-intro collections have.Īs etabeta said, Good tools itself are the best way to rename no-intro sets. I guess some no-intro collections don't reach as many commercial ROMs as Good Tools have, but it will get there eventually. No homebrew, no hacks, no bad dumps, all verified dumps and constant updates. If you instead prefer only correct commercial dumps, the best approach is to look for no-intro sets now. Keep in mind the latest Good tool is two years old (excepting only GoodPico which is 2 months old) and some good tools have been outdated for more than 5 years. 7.00GB and 5.30GB respectively (it's easier to check this information looking at places we obviously can't reveal here but are out there for everyone). The largest Good merged set so far are GoodGBA and GoodN64 with aprox. If you're looking for anything like this, Good sets are for you but keep them Good merged to save space.
For starters it classifies public domain ROMs, translations, trainers, specific old emulator/copier fixes and unfortunately a lot of bad/overdumped ROMs everyone loves not to discard. Good sets are a real mess, but it has its advantages. if you have files named after nointro and you want to rename them to GoodSets names, just use GoodXXX.exe programs themselves. a lot of nointro files are new dumps obtained after the last release of the corresponding Goodtool)Ģ. if you have files named after GoodSets and you want to rename them to nointro names, just use cmpro with a nointro dat (hoping that you have the correct files.

Re: Renaming No-Intro files to GoodSets (Goodtools) It seems like No-Intro is becoming the new standard of ROM sets instead of GoodSets. Basically what you get in a No-Intro set is equivalent to what was on the original cartridges.Renaming No-Intro files to GoodSets (Goodtools)ĭoes anyone know of a way or program to rename No-Intro files to GoodSet files? In addition, No-Intro sets are updated frequently as new or more accurate ROMs are found. No-Intro sets only include one good ROM for each region or revision of a game (usually one US, one Europe, and one Japan). The good, the bad, hacks, multiple dumps, all there. Goodsets basically collect together as many known dumps as possible into one set. While these aren't bad, they have a slightly different goal and are usually several years outdated. The most common complete ROM sets you will encounter on the internet are known as "GoodSets". If you want more information you can visit the No-Intro website. The name "No-Intro" came from the early days when they used to rip out annoying "scene" intros that were sometimes injected into dumped games. This means no hacks, bad dumps, etc, only clean ROM files accurate to what was commercially released.
Their main goal is to collect complete and accurate collections of old video games. No-Intro is a group dedicated to collecting ROMs of older video game systems for the sake of preservation.
