Fair, as someone who's bought some of TecToy's products in recent years, I imagine it's just some bussiness jobs as they produce very few things, I think their last major original electronic was the Zeebo. It's still common for them to do what the company has done since the SEGA partnership in the 90's, license stuff. I got a 8BitDo M30 in 2023, since it was suddently cheap here, and what was the reason? Well, when I got it, it had the TecToy logo, still produced in China and all, but they've licensed it and are reselling it here while adding their brand to it, it's pretty much what they do.

I believe working at TecToy now's, unless you're one of the people who does more manual work like transporting it and manufacturing the few things they do, is mostly managing their licenses and seeing what would be a good new product to bring over to Brazil under their brain, so it's dull.

Also, on an unrelated note, I never see any of the Mega Drives they made anymore, the Master System Evolution, and Atari Flashback which they also brought over to Brazil, are all I see, I wish the gray Mega Drives were still around, but maybe the market for it was lost since the Genesis Mini.

I have no idea, they have so many fantastic IPs... really wish they hadn't stopped making consoles, but they dropped the ball way too often, though I'm still grateful for everything they gave us back then, Master System, Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast... so much good stuff!

I've downloaded some full ROM sets recently, as every few months or so I panic a little whenever Nintendo's the main topic on people's minds for going after emulation websites, I know that the odds of it all getting taken down, or at least the websites becoming harder to find and/or get an useful set of ROMs from, but there's always that fear that it might, even if the odds are low, so I make sure to have everything I could want... at least with the storage I have, so mostly a bunch of cartridge based systems, as CDs have huge file sizes in comparison... anyways, now I have a load of ROM sets and I don't know what to do with it since it's quite new to me.

I mean, just loading up something like RetroArch or any frontend, which is meant to make things a little more organized, more snappy too, doesn't flow the same way as before, since now I have a bunch of huge lists of ROMs to go through, I use the search function a lot more now, for sure, but even then navigating the XMB, which has always been an UI I loved, feels a bit more like a chore at the moment, and it doesn't help that there are a ton of repeated ROMs due to different regions, or even some beta releases... for example, my favorite console, the Genesis, had about 1000 releases for it, and yet a full ROM set has over the double of that...

One more thing I've realized is that, well, having so many options makes it really hard to pick a single thing to play and commit to, even if it's good, and something I would've commited to as a kid if I had the cartridge... what I'm doing to get past this, which has been working, is to focus on franchises I already know I'm quite into, and just playing those titles I've missed out on, but still, I feel like I over did it with all of these ROMs, so I was wondering how other people here do it, do you only download ROMs individually like I used to? How do you handle large sets like these? Is there a way to trim them? What's the best way to go about a frontend for this?

OP here. I actually wanted to post THIS picture instead, sorry for my mistake, everyone!
