One of my oldest (emulation) dream was made today: I completed TOSEC for the first time. Back in the day (about 20 years) I saw TOSEC like something impossible to achieve because the size, so I only collected GoodTools sets from DCC fservers. Now I will go for No-Intro, or maybe TOSEC-PIX.
in the previous screenshot you can see TOSEC stats in RomVault and some of the first child dats.
Are there any rom hoarders in here? What sets are you hoarding? What tools do you use?

No-Intro should be pretty easy, there’s significant chunks of the NTSC rom sets up on archive.org
I don’t hoard like I used to, especially as I got into romhacks, but RomVault always seemed to be the way to go.
Now that I don’t just keep full sets sitting around, I usually just pop onto archive.org and grab whatever I need from the nointro sets there. For disc based games, there’s some redump collections on archive, but for most disc based past PS1 or Gamecube I have to check the piracy megathreads for whatever sites haven’t been taken down yet.
Yes, I used archive a lot. I had to download a lot of dats one by one because the torrent is almost dead: only one incomplete and very slow seed. For dats missing only a couple of roms I used https://myrient.erista.me/
I think that right now I do not have storage for Redump, but it is something that at some point I will go for.
