Lord Valarion 6,690 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 What are No-Intro sets? No-Intro is a group dedicated to collecting ROMs of older video game systems for the sake of preservation. Their main goal is to collect complete and accurate collections of old video games. This means no hacks, bad dumps, etc, only clean ROM files accurate to what was commercially released. 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. If you want more information you can visit the No-Intro website. Difference between No-Intro and Goodsets The most common complete ROM sets you will encounter on the internet are known as "GoodSets". While these aren't bad, they have a slightly different goal and are usually several years outdated. Goodsets basically collect together as many known dumps as possible into one set. The good, the bad, hacks, multiple dumps, all there. No-Intro sets only include one good ROM for each region or revision of a game (usually one US, one Europe, and one Japan). 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-Day format. For example a set with (20101126) was last updated on November 26th, 2010. Hidden Content Give reaction or reply to this topic to see the hidden content. 13 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cactuarin247 3 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Very cool thank you, I can emulate all NGPC games and ones I translate patched like ni-ge-ron-pa, but I wish there was some "everdrive" or R4 like thing I have for my DS but for the handheld Neogeo...I heard there was but haven't come across it yet. Good to have this for preservation though! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
