I've been an emulator user for many years, so please forgive this possibly noob-sounding question.
I've always obtained the "full" pack of ROMS for a particular game, for completion's sake. But lately I've been wondering...
Do I really need to keep all the various versions and files?
For example, within Super Mario Kart I have the following ROMS;
Is there actually any point in keeping anything other than the "(E) [!]" & "(U) [!]" ROMS (so I have the complete PAL and NTSC versions)?
I'm not interested in the various Hacked versions.
What does everybody else do? Do you keep only the two (or one?) file you need to launch for the emulator?
Keeping every broken file just seems pointless.
Thanks
