Cassiel, i think like you said :
"f you catalogue it, people will want to collect it " >>>> that's really that !
as you say, the best solution should be to definitively ERADICATE bad dumps or dupes. the only bad dumps kept should be the "only available roms" for this game or tool or PD.
According to my precedent post, i think there are too much collection : TOSEC / Redump / No-intro / Gamebase / Goodtools. So many dupes !
i think than some years ago, TOSEC suffers comparison with a "bad reputation according to "set full of bad dumps", i heard sometimes thiese words. i think it should be really good to delete all "the crap or useless" roms.
Of course this is my advice. I think for people who want keep bad dumps, we can create a "Historical Bad dumps Tosec (20120820)" no ? it sounds funny :p
Quality not quantity^^

On the other posts, we speak about romulus & romvault. i don't understand why these projects are stand-alone
I think "RomuVault" (lol) or "RomVulus" should be the ultimate tool manager
