I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.
./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip
./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso
./[platform]/[game]/saves/...
If it's a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:
./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip
./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso
So it's not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it's better than nothing.
@LordPassionFruit wouldn't it be easier to go with something like
./[game]/[platform]/and then in the platform folder to add all the game specific files for each platform?@hellisfulloftacos
I go for full libraries. This would never work for me! Haha
