Default Must have GBA rom utility

A lot of you have gotten various unclean roms from the net that have hacks in them or intro's written into them which will make it difficult if not impossible for gpSP to play them, here is a link that should help you clean up these roms and in the least make them nice and neat like the originals...

NOTE THERE ARE NO ROMS IN ANY OF THESE SITES:

There is of course the no-intro project main page with links to everything including individual unhacks for each rom game:
http://www.gbadat.altervista.org/index.htm

This second site is by far the more useful one for my purposes:
http://arcvoreppin.free.fr/ips/
Make sure to download the program
http://gbagdm.free.fr/downloads/GbaGDMv0.7.zip
This will automate the process of cleaning up your roms as long as they are already extracted from zip/rar/7zip format...
You'll need to get this dat file
http://offlinelistgba.free.fr/tool/R...a_OL_0.7.1.zip
and edit the config to point to it...

and finally this site has the rom manager that will help you rename them properly and zip them for you too as a bonus:
http://offlinelist.free.fr/

I don't feel like writing a tutorial tonight of how to set up this stuff, but some of you should find this useful and it will help clean up some roms.... it may be a little advanced for the lay person but I'm sure if someone comes up with a tutorial everyone will find it pretty uselful.

The easist (but most time consuming way to do this) is to load individual ips files from here:
http://arcvoreppin.free.fr/ips/
via IPS files using this program:
http://arcvoreppin.free.fr/ips/software/SMARTIPS.zip
note you'll have to apply each patch individual to unhack a rom.

Hope someone finds this useful
