Nintendo - Virtual Boy GoodVBoy v2.01

Mario Clash (1995)
In a manner similar to using a head-mounted display, the user looks into an eyepiece made of neoprene on the front of the machine, and then an eyeglass-style projector allows viewing of the monochromatic (in this case, red) image. It was released on July 21, 1995 in Japan and August 14, 1995 in North America at a price of around US$180. It met with a lukewarm reception that was unaffected by continued price drops. Nintendo discontinued it the following year. The Virtual Boy is considered Nintendo's only major game console failure in the home video game market." (Wikipedia)
What are Goodsets?
Goodsets are sets created by Cowering's GoodTools, a renamer program that has the ability to "see past" the headers attached to many console ROMs. These tools are fairly comprehensive but have not had many updates in the last year. File naming is not always accurate, but these are great "starter sets". They look to catalogue every known ROM of every game. Since each game can be packaged with goodmerge, there's is usually a very small increase in the collection size. Since No-intro uses zip, their sets tend to be larger than the 7zipped goodsets ( great example of this is the N64 set... the no-intro set is ~10gb where the goodset can fit on a dvdr ).

What is No-Intro?
No-Intro is a project to create complete rom collections for various systems. It aims to provide roms which are accurate to their physical counterparts. This means no dups, hacks, or bad dumps. No-Intro collection are updated often to ensure that files are as accurate as possible. If you are an emulation junkie, these collections are a must.
Goodsets are the old standard for complete rom sets. The last goodset was updated over a year ago so many of them are missing games at this point. In addition, goodsets include a lot of bad dumps which are useless to most people. No-Intro sets contain only one good rom for each region and are packaged in individual zip archives allowing them to be played directly by most emulators. No-Intro sets are starting to take over where goodsets left off for this reason.
Normally the No-Intro collections are hard to all track down and when you do find some they are often incomplete and outdated. Well no more I say! I'm going to be uploading my No-Intro collections so that they are finally more freely available.
