So, you want to be a ROMhacker? If you're reading this, you're probably overwhelmed at the large number of utilities and documents available on this site. What should you be looking for? What do you need? Where do you start? This section will try and help clarify these things for you.
It doesn't matter if you're going to try and do translations, graphical hacks, or level hacks, you really need the same fundamental knowledge for any kind of ROMhacking. We have taken the time to label all the documents and utilities in our database that we feel are helpful for beginners just like you. However, sometimes these beginner documents still don't quite start at the beginning. That's what we're going to do here.

Wii No Intro Rom Set
What 'No-Intro' does is fill some.dat files, to be used with ROM-Managers, with information about the known ROMS released. Often there are more versions of the same ROM dump, but most of them are garbage, some examples may include: bad dumps, hacks, fakes, overdumps, underdumps, and so on.

Gameboy Advance Rom Set No Intro
'No-Intro' lists only the best available ROM; it must be a full dump with no faults and no changes to the file, basically just the ROMS that are the closest as possible to the original licensed cartridges. This contains all of the publicly available ROMS in all of the No-Intro sets except for the 'Nintendo - Nintendo 3DS', 'Nintendo - Nintendo 3DS (DLC)', and 'Nintendo - Nintendo DS' sets as of 2016-01-03. To think that I've been downloading games individually off of shoddy rom websites for most of the time I've been emulating.
This contains nearly everything. I got a few updated collections to replace what wasn't already here, but this contains basically everything. One question, though. The real No-Intro collection is a data file for rom managers. How did you get and assemble this collection, as the No-Intro team directly stated themselves that they did not support downloading roms? An answer would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies to be a bother. Doesn't seem like I should be putting this in the reviews section but I'm not sure how else to bring this to the attention of the folks who put this lovely package together. It seems as though Mother 1+2 are absent from this collection. I triple checked to make sure. The folder, when downloaded, is completely empty. I'm not sure why this would be.
Every other ROM I've ever gotten from this collection has been perfect, but this one just. Isn't there at all. Just to be 100% clear, I am speaking of the Mother 1+2 Japanese release, for the Game Boy Advance.

If anyone else could verify my claims by checking, that would be appreciated. I really appreciate all the work that has gone into the No-intro sets.
All Gba Roms Pack
IMHO No-intro is a huge improvement over the 'Good' sets. Using DAT files, Romcenter, and Goodsets I created my own No-Intro sets back in 2013, and did not update them until here recently, thanks to these uploaded on, which put a smile on my face, just to see them here. Anyway for those concerned, I downloaded the zip files, and tested them with 7-zip, and it's all good. Thank you for preserving not just games, but what has become part of pop culture for future generations.
