Best tool to keep track of your collection?

[Daedalus]

Hello,

I've tested several android and windows apps (Sisimizi f.e. which is horribly outdated and relies heavily on scripts to collect gamedata), but none where satisfactory.

Out of the need I created my own Calc sheet to keep track.

As of now 1297 MD/GEN games are listed and its only missing some homebrew stuff.

If this is allowed and desired, I'd share the template.



Has someone found or is using a decent application - preferably something opensource+free - which would offer to include cover+screenshots, as well as additional infos, like GameGenie Code?

I use collectorz, it costs but works amazingly well.

I use a Numbers spreadsheet to keep track of everything. Just a basic 3 header table for each system including game name, and a check box for the box and manual. It's great for my use, since it syncs over iCloud to my iPhone when I'm out shopping.

I signed up for VGCollect.com and added a few games, but I found it was easier just to keep my spreadsheets. It is helpful to use a site like that to confirm the names of games, as some are organized differently.

I use a spreadsheet as well, but I keep it all up on Google Docs so everything is accessible from my phone if I'm looking through stuff as well.

I used Word, but then accidentally lost the table I made. It was REALLY comprehensive too. This is my annoyed face, but you can't see it.

ya'll are much smarter than me; i keep my shit on backloggery & never check it from garage sales so i fuck around and get like 3 copies of bubsy and shit

Never fails, even in nuclear winters*

GiantBomb, Backloggery & an RTF document. I used to also use MobyGames.

P.S. - I like making lists.

I keep it all in my head; works better than any other method I've tried.

I wrote my own in 68000 assembly that runs on the Genesis...

Just kidding, but it would be pretty cool in a warped way if someone did that.

I just use excel. I include a list of the games I own, the genre, the region, and a list of games I want to buy.

I write it in no-bullshit text lists. With the format that goes like:

CONSOLE:
Title (Completeless/Region/Comments or notes)

So it ends up looking like:

GENESIS:
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (CIB/US/"Not For Resale" version)

I look in my drawer or on a shelf.

a free iPhone app called Video Games Manager. Works pretty well IMO. Has some in app purchases, i bought the Pro upgrade for 5.99...thought it was pretty worth it.
You can scan the barcodes on your games to put them in your list...tho now i realize why gamestop puts stickers on the back, to cover up the barcodes...bastards...

Quite a few fields to fill out if you so choose and you can sort/filter by anything you can think of
