This project is a WIP. The dat format, headers and content are subject to change until the initial release is published. Use at your own risk.
ENTrimmed is a curated DAT collection project focused on building practical ROM sets for retro gamers. It emphasizes English-speaking region preference, retail-only games, and a strict 1G1R (1 Game 1 ROM) format. The goal is to produce ROM libraries that are ready to play and free from clutter.
- Remove hacks, prototypes, homebrew, aftermarket releases, and other non-retail ROMs.
- Prioritize English-speaking regions.
- 1G1R Format.
- Built from official DAT sources (No-Intro, Redump).
- Compatible with ROMVault, ClrMamePro, and other DAT managers.
Here are the systems I intend to include in the initial release of the dats.

ENTrimmed uses open-source, community-trusted tools for building and verifying sets:
- Retool – For generating 1G1R trimmed DATs
- ROMVault – For scanning, fixing, and validating
- DATVault – For sourcing No-Intro, Redump and T-En DATs
ENTrimmed DATs follow a consistent naming convention:
System (1G1R Retail English + T-En) [ENTrimmed].dat
The "System" component of each filename is defined as per the LaunchBox database naming.
