The record

Purpose: RomsOrganizer finds and removes duplicate ROMs from Batocera game lists, with built-in backup and restore.
RetroAchievements: For supported cartridge systems, it can keep the version with a hash recognized by RetroAchievements; the hash database is bundled.
Gamelist cleanup: It removes duplicate and orphan gamelist entries and sorts the list alphabetically.
ROM tidying: It cleans up displayed ROM names and moves ROMs to the appropriate system.
Safety: The app moves duplicates to a holding folder instead of deleting them and provides a menu option to restore them.
Preview: It offers a dry-run preview before each operation so users can review and confirm the proposed changes.
Paired files: Paired cue, bin, ccd, and sub tracks are excluded from hash matching so the app does not separate those sets.
Multi-disc handling: Its 1G1R comparison matches discs only against discs with the same index across regions.
Installation and interface: The installer adds the app to Batocera's PORTS menu, where it runs with a controller-friendly pygame interface.
Requirements: The project states that it requires Python 3 and pygame, which it says is usually already present in Batocera.
License: The repository provides the software under the MIT License, which grants permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies subject to its conditions.
Duplicate types: It identifies same-name files, format variants, region or revision variants, and byte-identical files by hash.
Recovery: The README says duplicates are moved to a ROM elimination folder and can be restored from the menu using a manifest.
Conservative matching: For RetroAchievements filtering, the README says it acts only when exactly one version in a group is recognized and otherwise leaves the group unchanged.
