Question re: rom sets (been nagging at me)

[alcoatjez]

Just do what suits you best.

Wise words... While I use the No-Intro dats, that does not mean I don't respect all the years of work Cowering has put in the GoodTools. I also like to check what the PD scene does, so that's why I sometimes also use the GoodTools.

Yep, same here. I think the autpatch can give you problems, since some IPS patches require ROMs with headers (No-Intro SNES ROMs are headerless). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right, but it's pretty easy to add or remove headers with SMC or NSRT, and many translations are very well documented wheter that's needed or not. The raw data would be the same anyway, so this is not a problem for GoodTools but for NoIntro sets as you stated above. Anyway I prefer the auto patching feature because you only have to properly rename the IPS if the ROM is correct for that patch when an update is released
