What myOrganizer-CURATOR is
myOrganizer-CURATOR analyzes and organizes emulation collections by matching user-provided files against DAT-based preservation metadata. It identifies unknown, incomplete, and unsupported content for separation, then can arrange verified material into a structured library ready for LaunchBox. Collection actions are documented so users can review and maintain the results. Version 2 uses persistent, indexed SQLite workflows for authority data, execution, recovery, and auditing. CURATOR is Windows software, free and open source under GNU GPL v3.0 or later; the repository lists v2.0.0-beta.6 as its current public release. Listed capabilities include duplicate detection, file renaming, hash verification, and advanced archive support. The maker advises working with copies of original data and reviewing generated output before replacing a collection. MAME support is limited and preliminary, and some valid Alcohol MDF/MDS images may be incompatible with the bundled decoder and routed for review. The project welcomes questions, feedback, bug reports, and discussions by email or through its repository.

Who it suits
It suits Windows users who want to check and organize emulation collections against DAT-based authority data, especially when preparing verified content for LaunchBox. Users managing MAME sets or Alcohol MDF/MDS images should account for the stated limitations.
Verdict
CURATOR combines collection validation, organization, and audit records for Windows emulation libraries. Its MAME and optical-media caveats make it important to review output before replacing an existing collection.
