I keep the roms at a certain folder in my computer, if I ever would like to play the game again.

I keep all the roms archived in a folder and backup the saves. This way I don't have to redownload them later if I ever want to play them again.

My friends came over today and they all told me what they do, 3 of them keep both the rom and the save and 2 of them keep the save only.

those who dont save the rom will be sorry when al gore discontinues the internet.

you'll be sorry when clinton bans gaming

I have copies of every rom I've downloaded on my computer, so when I finish a game I just copy the save onto the computer and delete the game off my card.

same.

why? two reasons. if i ever wanna play it again, i can.

if somehow, magically, every rom on the internet was wiped out, i would still have alot of old games to keep me bsy for a while.

I store a copy of every single DS game on DVD as a back-up (will post a picture tonight) keep the saves organised on my HDD (as they are only small)

but the Roms are taking up nearly 20 DVD's

I used to think that external HDD were also the best solution until I accidently pulled a cable out as it was moving files. Corrupted a ton of files but luckily they were all on DVDs.

Lesson? Make backups of a backup

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.

    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
