Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Total size of all 24.258 .nes Roms (plus a few other files) unpacked: 5.5gb

A huge collection of NES Rom Hacks.

Originally uploaded by MiroMirian at https://archive.org/details/nes-romhack-collection_202103 . This is a repackage of the same files. The original collection contains over 24 thousand files, without compression. This means that Internet Archive's internal "on-the-fly-zip" doesn't work and each file has to be downloaded individually. I downloaded all files and packaged them up in .7z archives. This reduces the download size drastically and also makes it possible to download all of them in one go.

Complete: Entire collection in a single archive. The original full set.

Split: Divided the collection by letter groups into multiple archives. Also removed all non .nes Rom files for additional cleanup. Otherwise contains the same Roms found in the Complete package.

BTW the original collection from 2021 is not created by me and does not contain my usual text files as description. Naming scheme is also all over the place without real consistency and missing version numbering, and contains Translations and non Romhacks like unpatched original Roms too; total chaos! I find this collection fascinating.
