 ===== Why DATVault?  =====
 DATVault was created to solve several problems:
   * There was no single place to download DATs. You would need to constantly check various project sites or forums for updates.
+  * There was no easy way to keep track of MIA ROMs (missing in action, or private ROMs).
   * It was hard to keep track of when DATs are updated. Some projects update every few months while others update multiple times per day.
   * Manually downloading and 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.

 ===== How does DATVault work?  =====
-DATVault indexes DATs from a variety of sources, stores them in a repository, and delivers these DATs to DATVault users. This approach allows for better management, server-side DAT processing, and helps reduce the load on the source sites for the DATs. Refer to [[how_datvault_works|How DATVault Works]] for more information.
