NES Romset v1.0 (1393 Games) (No-Intro) (No Duplicates) (No Hacked ROMS) (Extras)

Hello everyone. I always am looking for romsets that are meant to have only a single rom for each game, rather than a lot of different versions of it, but never am able to find them. I finally managed to make a SNES one for myself and uploaded it here. Since I did SNES though, I ended up doing the NES too, so here it is.

So this Romset is meant to be one that does not have any duplicate games in it and it is not for collectors, but for people that want to just get the roms and play, without having 5-6 different versions of the same game. My target is to keep a single game out of all the different releases, meaning that there should be only a single rom for each game.

I have gotten these roms from Emuparadise and thus decided to share them packed all together, rather than each one separate. If you want to play only some games and not download them all, then visit Emuparadise and get them from there.

This Romset is made from the large romset offered at Emuparadise and updated with the latest No-Intro pack from Emuparadise.

I have tried my best to not have duplicate games, but even if I tried my best, even now when I play sometimes, I catch a game having different title, but being the same game with another. If you find any duplicate game, please do report it in comments.

Keep in mind that there might be games with the same name, that are actually different game. Some examples that I can think off my head is Star Wars. The Japanese and US version are actually two different games. But the game might be of the same Region. The two “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” roms, are different games and they are both US games. Same goes for Superman. Both Superman roms are US, but are two different games.

Main ROMSet
There are 624 Japanese roms and 769 American/European roms, in the main pack. The priority of the roms I chose is USA, then Europe and finally Japan. USA and European romsets are updated with the latest updates, where Japanese might be missing newer updates of roms that appeared lately. The main reason is that since I can't read Japanese, or sometimes connect titles, so it is hard for me to keep updating them, since doing so might end up with many duplicate roms between Japanese and English games.

Even if all roms are meant to be clean working roms, there are some rare exceptions. Games marked with (b) (there is only 1) are meant to be bad dumps, but the reason they are in there, it is because there are no good dumps of them, and I keep them in my list to see if working roms of them will appear.

Games marked with Proto (there are 36) are meant to be what you would call Alpha release. Some actually work normally, but others barely can be called games.

Games marked with Beta (there are 13 of them) are meant to be glitchy, but personally I have not had trouble with Contra 4 for example, up to the point I have played.

Final Fantasy 2-3 are the Japanese roms that are translated to English and that means I do not include Final Fantasy 2 US ROM. The reason I did not use the US FF2 rom, is because it is in Proto stage, so I definitely prefer the Japanese one with the translation. If you prefer the US one, you can get it in Emuparadise.

Extra
I have also included some separate extra packs of roms, which are either SNES pirate or hack games and some other oddities. Unlicensed Carts and Multi-Game Unlicensed Carts are games that are not licensed and they can be from actually good games to games that feel like crappy. I normally would have left them in the main romset, but they are 200+ games. I am shocked how many Unlicensed games are out there for NES. Pirate are games that are usually referenced to as Bootleg. You want to play Sonic 3D on NES? Then this pack is for you! Action 52 includes 2 different roms for the infamous Action 52, but also includes Cheetahmen II. The reason I put it separate, is because of AVGN and how much he burned that game into my mind. If you wonder what are Public Domain roms, you can look it up in wikipedia, since you will understand it easier than me trying to explain.

Finally I want to suggest LaunchBox. Launchbox is a frontend for multiple emulators and if anything it is the best I have found out there. It is easy to import games in it's interface, it suggests the best emulator to get when for each console, when you try to add an emulator and it has the best interface I have found. Weirdly, I like the free UI it offers (LaunchBox) and not the paid one that people that buy it can get (BigBox). The LaunchBox UI shows every game in a list with a picture of the cover or a screenshot from in game and that is really nice for me. The paid UI it offers just shows a list and only when you choose the name you can see any pictures of it. It can automatically look into picture databases and download pictures for a lot of the games. You can check the screenshot to see what I mean.
