To add to this… game boy, gameboy color, and gameboy advance libraries all fit on a single 32GB SD card

While this is true I would recommend choosing just a few of your favourite games from each console, in which case you can probably fit your all time fav games from every Nintendo console on a 256gb SD card, and probably a 32GB for all you faves pre Wii.

As someone who has an overwhelmingly large ROM library, I often find I have nothing to play because my library is too large.

Nah, get them all. Just to spite Nintendo.

Like, before I only had a small handful because I thought hey, if I ever need to access them in case my dumping hardware stops working or something, I can. But now that Nintendo is making everything disappear and nobody is fighting them, other companies are following their lead. SEGA and companies in the ESA.

Get the entire library at once and you dont have to worry about media being destroyed forever.

Yeah, that’s a good point but I am very skeptical that Nintendo roms are going to be lost forever. Some of the popular sites are getting hit, but this has been happening for decades. Soon enough there will be a new site that makes it easy, and there will always be Usenet and private trackers that are far more robust.
