Downloading entire ROM collections quickly becomes too much data for local storage, starting with Saturn/PS1 and escalating from there.

Nah, you just need to scale up your storage expectation; I think 8TB will cover most of a PS1 localization.

Sony Playstation NTSC-U dump is only 472GB.

Oh, and they're available on Archive.org :)

Maybe it was PS2 localization, but those quantities are well within the consumer reach to maintain archives.

It's just work, like anything else.

You don't need to do this. I bought a 1TB sd card because I heard that was enough space to store every retro game up to n64. I ended up copying over a small hand-picked selection of games rather than the full romset. We need some people to keep copies of the full romsets for the sake of preservation, but typical users only want certain, popular games.
