Keeping a ROM library in order can involve more than storing files: verification, naming and metadata all matter. Compared on archive support, duplicate detection, file renaming, hash verification and metadata scraping, the entries also include supported platforms, free-plan availability and paid-from pricing. OxyROMon and RomM lead the ranking, followed by Igir and RomVault. Consider which collection-maintenance tasks you need help with, then check platform support against the systems represented in your library.
