I'm going nuts looking for a simple, straight forward, no frills solution to this. I want to condense multiple ROM folder libraries into one MASTER library.

I somehow managed to make 4 fractured ROM libraries on my PC. Each from different sources of projects I was working on over the years, but now I would very much like to reduce these all to one master library and discard all duplicates.

I've tried ROMcenter, ROMvault and ChatGPT.

I've had various success with each of these, but none of them have done exactly what I'm looking for without lot of effort.

Results

------	Pros	Cons
ROMCenter	Great UI, easy to follow instructions	Doesn't seem to move the ROMs to condense them, Only does one system at a time. Massive Time Suck
ROMVault	Multiple systems a time, somewhat decent UI so long as you have the color key up	Not the greatest folder structure, not the greatest in instilling confidence it worked correctly
ChatGPT	Highly customizable and can be done with various code methods	takes forever and very inaccurate. Constantly having issues where it loses scope of the project and I end up with a 5th fractured ROM set instead of what I asked for.

The biggest problem I have with ROMvault is that it doesn't use ES-DE folder structure so I then I have to resort the ROMs manually and I just don't have confidence in my skill to do that effectively/correctly.

What would YOU use to condense a ROM library effectively?

If I’m reading things correctly, I need someone to knock him out? I’m not really familiar with the game so some insight would be great on what that means.

From what my kid tells me he’s a pretty low level charizard so I’m thinking that would be easier?

UPDATE: looks like he’s got him back! Thank you guys for all the replies. It really helped calm him down and realize he just has to wait it out.

I've got a tent but the wife seems to be more inclined to us getting a camper. I don't want a hard side as they're a bit intimidating and honestly I like the coziness of poppers.

Also recommendations on brands other than OEM is appreciated

Saw a post that had a rather sketchy camp fire setup so instead of roasting the poor guys, how about we make a resource thread containing all the necessary info for making a safe and effective camp fire
