Downloading entire ROM collections quickly becomes too much data for local storage, starting with Saturn/PS1 and escalating from there.

- plussed_reader 3y agoNah, you just need to scale up your storage expectation; I think 8TB will cover most of a PS1 localization.

- plussed_reader 3y agoMaybe it was PS2 localization, but those quantities are well within the consumer reach to maintain archives. It's just work, like anything else.
- Acrobatic_Road 3y agoYou don't need to do this. I bought a 1TB sd card because I heard that was enough space to store every retro game up to n64. I ended up copying over a small hand-picked selection of games rather than the full romset. We need some people to keep copies of the full romsets for the sake of preservation, but typical users only want certain, popular games.
