Gaming so what do you guys do w/ ur rom dumps after finishing it?

[Private|Par]

Yeah I only say that because I don't think you can really "finish" Brain Age.

Also Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney "6/10", wtf?

Anyway I just leave em on my card lol, don't really download THAT much unless it's a game I want, and I have enough storage so...

 

[Toni Plutonij]

I'm making a collection, and burn them on DVDs, so that way, I'm solving my "space" problem..

 

[Tikker]

I keep the Roms and SAV files in my computer~

doesnt that take up a lota memory and space?

it takes up about 10-12gb of the 2500 gb I've got

so no, it doesn't really take up much space at all

 

[Artheido]

Keep the save file, delete the ROM. I can easily download the ROM again (though I rarely re-play) and I like keeping a large amount of free space on my HDD

However, I keep ROMs and saves of games I have stopped playing for a long period of time just incase I feel the need to finish it.

I always keep my ROMs and saves, you never know when you might want to pick something back up.

 

[deathfisaro]

I sort roms by genre so I have different folders for different genres, and I have one folder called "cleared" where I store all my games that I finished.

I manage my save files separately, I backup saves of all games by date.

I also have a folder called "Bought" but not so many roms there since I don't download roms of games I actually own (Beats the purpose of buying a game, don't you think?)

 

[The Viztard]

All i do is keep my saves, then delete my roms...after that if i ever want to play it again, i just download it again then put em on...

 

[omarroms]

i keep all my ROMS on my external hard drive and keep a backup of all my saves. I delete the games i know i will not be playing anytime soon from my mircoSDHC card but keep the ones i will play when i'm bored. I just bought a 8GB A-Data mircoSDHC and i haven't even fill the card yet, using around 5GB so far.

 

[Private|Par]

:FFTOPIC::Woah, you've filled 5 gig? With what? I've only filled 2 gig on my MicroSDHC (4gig) and don't know what else to put on it.::ENDOFFTOPIC::

My friends came over today and they all told me what they do, 3 of them keep both the rom and the save and 2 of them keep the save only.

those who dont save the rom will be sorry when al gore discontinues the internet.

 

[.::5pYd3r::.]

I 7zip my .sav and ROM and keep it 'em on my hard drive.

 

[Ferrariman]

I put the save and the rom in a folder in my computer and delete it from my flashcart.

 

[gbands]

Keep both sav and rom. Saves the time i have to wait downloading a game i just want to replay or make a friend try out.

 

[ECJanga]

Every rom I download I re-archive myself and put in this folder:



Everytime I connect my MicroSD to my PC, I backup all my saves to this folder:


And finally, I put all saves in 1 RAR file (Reduces to like 250kb in total), mail it to myself and keep it in a GMail Label.

 

[juggernaut911]

archive good saves in gmail and keep all my roms

i only have 3.7gigabytes of roms... really, it doesnt consume space

 

[Flameburst]

I archive the saves and roms incase I want to come back to the game for some reason
e.g.
WiFi

 

[Deleted member 110780]

I just leave them where I downloaded them to XD

 

[Trolly]

Yeah, I just keep my ROMs and saves. I'd hate to just throw out all my hard work, even if I'm probably never going to use the save again.

I just thought. At the end of the DS' life when MicroSD have a really large capacity (16GB upwards), it would be awesome to stick all my games on one card, so I could play whatever I wanted, whenever. Maybe I'm just simple, but that seems awesome. (I've had to cope with a 1GB card for long enough).

 

[Prime]

I delete the rom and place the save in a .rar and put it on a Memory Stick.
