Fresh1G1R generates fresh daily, up-to-date 1G1R (One Game One ROM) DAT files for Redump and No-Intro collections, processed with several different Retool filter configurations, currently: Hearto, PropeR, and McLean.
This repository provides the latest, box-fresh 1G1R DAT files for every system in both Redump and No-Intro collections, processed through the latest Retool release with curated 1G1R filter configurations. The DAT files are automatically updated daily via GitHub Actions, ensuring the 1G1R DATs available are always the most current filtered collections.
Three configurations are available:
The Custom Fresh1G1R configuration, which I use and is the most lean:
- Includes: 🎮 Games only
- Options: 🌐 Language filter (English), ✅ Prefer licensed versions
- Good For: 👍 If you want just English language retail releases.
Based on the PropeR 1G1R Collection rules:
- Includes: 🎮 Games, ➕ Add-ons, 📚 Educational, 🔧 Fixed, 🎁 Bonus discs, 📢 Promotional
- Options: ✅ Prefer licensed versions
- Good For: 👍 If you want retail releases in any language, along with additional content.
Based on the Hearto 1G1R Collection rules:
- Includes: 🎮 Games, 🎯 Demos, ➕ Add-ons,
⚠️ Unlicensed, 🧪 Preproduction (protos, betas, alphas) - Options: ✅ Prefer licensed versions
- Good For: 👍 Retail, unlicensed and promo releases in any language, along with additional content.
Each configuration processes both 💿 Redump (disc-based) and 🎮 No-Intro (cartridge-based) DAT files with their respective filter settings.
The latest, up-to-date DAT files for every system are available in the daily-1g1r-dat/ directory on GitHub:
