    This is an option I would like to see here at RomUlation. For those that don't mind browsing through long pages or those that can't stand to click the next button because they are so fixed on a particular game they cant remember and then they forget what they are looking for(believe it or not, it happens :p).

    Good idea, I think Seph will agree with it. We'll see once he gets back from his vacation.

    It's not quite as simple as one might think. The more ROMs are fetched the more data needs to be transfered between our DB server and the front end server. If this data becomes too big it won't be allowed to be kept in RAM, which means it has to be stored on the disk instead, this is very slow and causes more I/O operations on a machine which is already limited by the I/O. So if I do add this you definitely will not be allowed to fetch 1000 ROMs at a time.
