I use emulators that play directly from (.iso) or (.img) files, however as you probably know, most ROMs are downloaded as archives.
Do you backup your ROMs in their downloaded archived format? Or as uncompressed files?

I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.
./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip
./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso
./[platform]/[game]/saves/…
If it’s a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:
./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip
./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso
So it’s not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it’s better than nothing.
@LordPassionFruit wouldn’t it be easier to go with something like
./[game]/[platform]/and then in the platformfolder to add all the game specific files for each platform?

I go for full libraries. This would never work for me! Haha
