New TOSEC DATs - Review

I just finished rebuilding / checking all nonISO TOSEC sets against the latest DAT files. There is a lot of name changes and a lot of new files. Most of "Various" sets have been split out but almost all can be rebuild from old, discontinued "Various" sets. I was doing some notes during the proses and here is a little review:

All BIOS sets are called Firmware now.

I will upload the sets above as soon as I get all missing roms. Most of them is complete now. I guess it is possible to build one or two of them from the old sets but I'm not 100% sure yet.

Some old sets have been renamed:

  6. I didn't even touch any of the TOSEC-PIX dats yet. I do have a lot of old TOSEC magazines sets but so far I've been rebuilding nonISO sets + I'm still looking for a few missing roms. As soon as I finish with those I'll try to upload all the TOSEC-PIX sets.
