Due to some formatting, I have to setup my microSD again, so I figured I might as well make this topic now seeing as it's the perfect time.

Anyways, I was hoping people would post their method of organization (if any) of their games, music, movies, and other stuff.
The one way I figured you could organize the games was by making a folder for every letter (#. A-Z) and put the games in accordingly. Another method of organization (I got it set-up like this) was by category, like for Mario games, make a folder called Mario and for Pokemon games make a folder called Pokemon, etc.

So I would really appreciate it if you gize posted on your method of organizing your content (if any).
 
like this:

games-action
- sports
games-brain (for crosswords, brain age, etc.)
games-strategy
homebrew
media
 
Interesting. (Although I probably won't organize my games like that because .. no offense .. but I don't like it that much, but it's a consideration).
 
No. It would get too confusing especially, if/when I backup my Saves. But I guess it does load faster.. nope, not worth it.
 
I have "SAVES" and "TEXT" folders and a games folder for my non-homebrew card and on my homebrew card I have games and Apps folders and all the system folders hidden.
 
Because I have a 8GB microSD and a CycloDS so CycloDS have a limit of 128 games in roots so I sorted the games into 0-J, K-R and S-Z folders. Also a homebrew folders.

Initially on the hard drive following my GBA collection, I went with parent folders labeled by ROM size and sub-folders labeled by library style (A_E, F_J, K_O, P_T, U_Z). While it helped when fitting gba files on a cartridge, the seperation by file size was no longer needed due to the large sd card sizes; I continued using the library style. However, five categories was not enough so I abandoned that and now I'm using game type classification on both the hard drive and the sd card. The kids like it a lot more.
 
MicroSDHC Kingston 4GB class4 of the AKRPG:
Root: homebrews.
1-NDS: NDS games from A to M.
2-NDS: NDS games from N to Z.
3-GBA: GBA games.
4-Media: MP3, TXT, DSM, DPG, IPK (file of the Image Viewer), etc.
GB and GBC: GB and GBC games.
GBA_SAVE: GBA saves (using GBA ExpLoader).
GBA_SIGN: some files generated by GBA ExpLoader.
MegaDrive: MegaDrive/Genesis games.
NES: Nes games.
SNES: SNES games.
And other folders required/generated by homebrews.
 
I have mine under as such:

Games (backups and homebrews)
Multimedia (split up to MP3s, videos, pictures, and text files)
Applications (other stuff that doesn't fit as a game, eg. dictionaries, DSOrganize, etc)

Things might get messy with bigger capacities as I only have a 1GB card.

well just put all games in a NDS folder and gba in GBA
renamed all roms to their proper names and got rid of just first letter of works and got rid of roms numbers
homebrew is on root
 
I'm going to keep my setup my Alphabets because it's simple (for NDS). Then a folder for Music, Movies, and perhaps Homebrew/Apps.
