I thought a little about your remark and made the decision to follow your recommendations. So I changed "official" to "datted" in the About and README.

Hello and thank you for your feedback. I allowed myself to specify "official" because the dumps come from the official NoIntro repos hosted on Archive.org (all those starting with <nointro.*>). It is however true that you score a point by talking about DAT-o-MATIC that could be integrated to check the quality of the dump after extraction. I'll see to integrate it for the next version. I also agree with you on adding a .dat updated regularly with each new version.

I'm 99.9% sure those aren't "official" - its not mentioned on the no-intro site anywhere and I've never heard anyone on the forum or anywhere talk about it. Generally the idea with datfiles is they provide a "source of truth" that anyone can use to create a "correct" set by gathering ROMs together. Its the same with Redump, TOSEC, MAME etc. Maybe better wording would be to say the ROMs are "catalogued", "listed", "indexed" or if you want to use the technical term - "datted", by No-Intro.
