Has anyone actually gotten in trouble for downloading roms?

The consensus online seems to be that it would be the site hosters that would potentially get in trouble if legal action does happen and that the average person should be fine but is this actually the case? Has the been instances of people getting fines or going to jail for using sites like vimms lair?

What's the best way to consolidate ROM Libraries?

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?

Unreleased DS games with known, playable prototypes (like Gauntlet)

I'm browsing HiddenPalace as I set up my DS Pico card, looking at all the betas, prototypes, demos, and other curiosities on offer there:

I'm trying to find all the games that showed up in one form or another, but never got an official release. Some examples:

Unfortunately, Hidden Palace has separate categories for "Nintendo DS prototypes" & "Unreleased game prototypes," but not a combined one for "Unreleased DS prototypes." So I came here to ask:

Do you know of any other DS games where a demo/prototype exists, but the full game never came out?
