 DATVault was created to solve the following problems:
   * There was no single place to download all the DATs you may be interested in. You would need to constantly check various project sites or forums for updates.

   * Staying up to date with the latest DATs was tedious and time consuming. ROM collecting is a hobby, and keeping DATs up to date is a chore.
   * Other DAT downloader solutions were either broken, unreliable, or not integrated with the ROM manager. Basically other solutions just didn't work well.
