Which romset are most using for atari 2600?

How many roms are in their set, and have they optimised it, to take out duplicate and other roms?

Id think No Intro, or run your set against a nointro dat file and clrmamepro.

Other than that we cant help much, strictly speaking we try to not talk much about roms.

There is no no-intro set for this system. That's why I asked what people might be using.

I think I remember a similar topic discussion in the past (or was it some other forum, I'm not sure ).

That is true. A No-Intro set is not available for this system. I use a goodset in this case. I tend to use No-Intro >>> Goodset >>> Tosec >>> Other in that order when one is not available. As far as the amount of roms I tend to include them all for collection purposes. Also GameEx really has the cool feature of using the Goodmerged set. There are tools out there for cleaning up your set or can just use GameEx to filter out what you're wanting. Other than that as Brian said we don't talk much about roms here.

Just thought to look at the GameEx database for Atari 2600.

I think the Good set is pretty much all you can find.

I scanned it and deleted all the hacks, bad dumps, overdumps and other such nonsense.

This is what I ended up doing, though I kept everything. Just set my roms path to "NTSC Video" folder. Also used the "merged sets" setting to filter out the alternates and such.
