 ====== Welcome To RomVault Wiki ======
+===== What is RomVault? =====
+{{:rv.png?400|RomVault}}
+RomVault will take one or more DAT files and your set of ROM (zip) files, and clean up your files to match your DAT files. If you find more ROMs to add to your collection RomVault will scan and merge in these files, and if new DATs are released you can easily scan in these new DATs and update your ROM collections to match, all of this can be done with just a few button clicks in the UI.
 ===== Why RomVault? =====

 At that time more and more DAT files where starting to come out from different teams, and back then any other Rom Management tool would only process a single DAT file at a time.
-The goal of RomVault is that you can load up about as many DAT's as you liked and RomVault will sort all of them out together in one big fix. Take the TOSEC DAT sets for example, now contains over 3000 DAT files.

 I also wanted to keep the UI and the needed options as simple as possible so that you did not need to dig into multiple different dialog screen before you could start sorting your ROMs, ROMVault should just be a couple of clicks and ROMs are being sorted right before your eyes.
-With that in mind RomVault has come a very long way in 15 years of development, with many options that are their if you want them, but are still not needed if you just want to jump right in.

-Also please always remember RomVault and collecting ROMs is a hobby, and fills a lot of my spare time. (that I have very little of these days.) Feedback is welcome, but remember this is just a hobby.
