My N64 ROM list in here

[Lizard Blade]

Wow flow, how much did it cost to buy all of those N64 cartridges so you could have semi-legitimate backup copies of them?

lol That is funny, but man why would a person want to have every single game, plus all the versions. I dont get it, I beleive the rule is that you only download what you own (even though no one does), but I think that is overdoing it.

Actually, the real rule is you must make the backup copy yourself.
Also, both must never be in use at once, and they are "tied" together.

An N64 emu tester (like flow``) would ideally have every rom, and with modern hard disks being large in size, it wouldn't be too space consuming. Most users (including myself) just download the games they enjoy, and more often than not, are games they originally had on the real N64 (Well my case anyway)

I only download the ones I play, why should I have all those versions. Ok Clements I am a dummy, I never thought about him being an emu-tester would require all that. This shows my limited knowledge of programming, thats why I never got into computer programming, or making my own emulator

Sometimes it's just about mindless collecting. I don't have the complete N64 set, but I have more games than I'll likely ever play. I do have complete sets for the NES, SMS, SNES, and Genesis, and I know I'll never play all of those. It's nice knowing I could though, and I've "discovered" some very cool games I knew nothing about before emulation.

 

[flow``]

yeah pretty much just mindless collecting and helping a friend find a rom he might need to test on the fly.

i might play like .. 10 roms for 5 mins when a new emulator or plugins comes out just to check it out. thats about it

 

[Flash]

the full set? thats naughty

It's crazy... To have full set unzipped while it's about 9Gb packed

 

[Hyper19s]

you got to have a lot of space fo all those roms
dmn thats a lot roms !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hyper19s]

And some of those are 16mb 32mb and even 64mb unzipped
shhoooott im not even going to try !!!!!!!!!!!!















Thers no time to play games you wont even get the chance!!

 

[flow``]

thats why i have a second drive dedicated to the rom set..

all roms are renamed with goodn64, sorted in directories, and byteswapped to v64 format.. also uncompressed

But why uncompressed ? I have about 450Gb of total disk space but still don't like to trash hard drive with useless stuff
I have only 2Gb of n64 roms on hdd, rest on CDs as i don't play all my games at same time

 

[flow``]

why compress? not like i need the space anyway

I have about 2.0 GB of overalll ROMS + programs:
880 MB is N64,
15 MB is NES,
185 MB is SNES,
20 MB is Commodore 64,
and then there is whatever else is left, including the emulators themself, which were not included in those ROM numbers
(Note: these numbers are approximate, excluding save files)
(Note: NES and SNES files are in .zip format, C64 and N64 are not)

Pointless

I think is kinda pointless to say "oh, i have ... millions of roms" or whatever, if i had a good connection id download thosusands in a sec, so what?, what really matters is if ya really play a rom and use it, coz thats the purpose of it, dumps are for being played, not for being stored as part of a stupid collection or some
:getlost:

 

[flow``]

try telling that to all the people who collect roms?

you think the goodtools were stricly for identifying roms? i dont think so..

 

[Clements]

I like collecting coins. There is no purpose of doing so, I don't need them. They're also probably worth nothing, but I still have fun collecting them. I believe the same applies to rom collecting. :robot:

I'm a rom collector myself, i have like 300 snes roms, 70 or so n64 ones and so on, what i mean is that this shouldnt be some kinda competition "oh, oh, i have more roms than ya do", coz anyway is just a stupid thing to do since no ones gonna play all of those roms!!!
