ROMsets
This is a catalog of all "ROMsets" on Archive. That means:
- Sets of ROM images for game consoles
- Sets of floppy images for computer games
- BIOSes and related files for these purposes
This list does not explicitly include application software. Some of the ROMsets for computers include applications / utilities incidentally, but these should be catalogued on their own dedicated pages e.g. "Windows 3.1 Utilities."
The reasoning is that "complete sets" of games are frequently desired, but a "complete set" of application software is less meaningful.

This page is divided into categories, since different ROMsets have different intents. Please do not cross-pollinate, and make a new category if you aren't sure what goes where.
TOSEC
The Old School Emulation Center basically aims to catalog everything, everywhere, as long as it isn't for modern PCs. Put simply, a TOSEC ROMset is probably very close to the best, most consistent collection of archived software available for any given platform.
What TOSEC doesn't do is pick a "best" version of anything, but instead catalogues absolutely every single version ever found, so these sets often have many "redundant" images.
IA has a Collection which includes many TOSEC "releases" https://www.tosecdev.org/the-project/what-is-tosec

Total DOS Collection Release 14
TDC is not a TOSEC project but attempts to catalogue DOS games in the TOSEC style.
There is a newer version not yet on Archive (15) - upload and add it to this list!
