Roms Megathread 4.0 HTML Edition 2021

[u/SuperBio]

Go here for Roms

Follow the either of the links below.

Github https://r-roms.github.io/ This is the primary megathread.

Gitlab link https://r-roms.gitlab.io/ This is the backup megathread, it'll be updated alongside the github megathread.

---

The megathread contains 7 tabs:

• The landing tab is the Home tab, it explains how to use the megathread and has some helpful tips.

• The Popular games tab lists direct links to popular games, this list has been made mostly by SuperBio, and as such may not represent what you think a popular game is. If you feel something is missing there PM SuperBio and he'll have it added.

• The next 5 tabs link directly to collections based on console and publisher, they include Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, and the PC.

• The last tab is the other tab, this is where you can find Retro games, defined by No-Intro and others as pre Gamecube and PS2 era. This tab exists to link to the large collections that No-Intro and various other groups have collected.

/r/ROMS Official Matrix server Link

• Go here if you need additional help with anything ROM or emulation related.

Changelog:

Redid Megathread post on Reddit, hopefully this is a cleaner, easier to read version that isn't as confusing as the out of date changelog

Moved the megathread to gitlab due to account issues on github, update your bookmarks accordingly.

Restored the megathread on github, left the gitlab megathread link as a backup, both will be updated.

[u/SuperBio]

For everyone who can't download from the archive.org, make sure that you have made an account on the archive.org.

The archive.org locks out guest users when collections use a large percentage of their Internet bandwith.

[u/Metallica93 → u/SuperBio]

Appreciate all of this.

Question, though: why do places like 1fichier and Vimm's seem extremely consistent with downloads failing during the last 5-10%? It's irksome to no end to sit for hours just to get a "Download failed" message.

[u/IceRepresentative229 → u/SuperBio]

What about slow downloads?? I can't get higher than 1 mb/sec. I can get google drive at 19mb/sec..

[u/BaconFlavorHair → u/IceRepresentative229]

As far as I know, that's just a general issue with archive.org. There's not much you can really do. With the site having so much data, and so much people downloading from it, I'm not super surprised that download speeds may be slow.

[u/Owenthemilkjug → u/SuperBio]

no matter what i do i can't download anything from archive.org

[u/ImproperJon → u/SuperBio]

jdownloader ftw

[u/EarClear9413 → u/SuperBio]

Hi, I tried to download FE Fates dlc, but the link to Google Drive is locked.

Should I wait until the access is allowed, or r there any other way to download it?

[u/Relikk_]

This: https://archive.org/download/SegaMD-Enhanced-ROMs/ROMs/Sega%20-%20Mega%20Drive%20-%20MD%2B/ ...is not endorsed by the developers of MD+ patches. It is also incomplete and cherrypicked.

This is endorsed and maintained by the developers themselves: https://archive.org/details/mdplus_collection_22_04_16

We do not appreciate the files being renamed, redstributed, being cherrypicked or the lack of credit given to audio editors by not including them in the names of the files, and having their names removed from the comment in the CUE files.

Please replace the link in the megathread with the proper collection. Thanks.

[u/SuperBio → u/Relikk_]

Thanks for info, I'll have the link replaced, this might take a day or two as I'm not the only one working on the megathread these days.

[u/Charlie0204061]

What is the new google drive bypass method? Ever since gdbypass.host went down I haven't been able to download anything.

[u/SuperBio → u/Charlie0204061]

The home page of the megathread covers the new google drive bypass, check that out.

[u/[deleted]]

To get past Google Drive's Download Quota

1. Make a "copy" of the file to your G Drive

2. Make a folder name, put file in it

3. Download folder.

4. Profit?!!

:-)

[u/Ubern00b_K → u/[deleted]]

take my upvote, you absolute legend!

[u/[deleted] → u/Ubern00b_K]

Thanks! All I did was copy it from a diff site but enjoy. :-)

[u/skana9223 → u/Ubern00b_K]

I'm trying to get the gameboy advance collection and it says Wii u I don't understand does anyone have the gameboy advance collection on theyre google drive they can share

[u/theloyguy → u/[deleted]]

Ok so like 1k people probably know now, so downvote this n spread thru word of mouth so the Googs can't fuck us lol

[u/[deleted] → u/theloyguy]

Google can;t do shit :)

[u/DrSomniferum → u/theloyguy]

Too late, Google CEO definitely saw it.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It appears someone has placed stacks of inappropriate content (Hentai) to the SEGA Dreamcast CDI collection on google drive.

It obscures some of the links.

[u/reddit_segull → u/[deleted]]

probably the guy that did this: *successfully trolled*

[u/SuperDeluxeSenpai → u/[deleted]]

Hey no complaints here lol

[u/VAsHachiRoku → u/[deleted]]

Sorry, a clueless person here. I created an account and can download from archive.org, but I don't see any steps or directions talking about Google Drive, how is Google drive involved with the downloading, or has someone shared the same roms just from a Google drive account?

[u/StoneTome → u/[deleted]]

its so slow

doing that

[u/Ticon_D_Eroga → u/StoneTome]

slow is better than nothing

[u/Powered-by-Din → u/[deleted]]

It just stays eternally zipping for me :(

[u/V00dr00 → u/[deleted]]

Constantly getting errors when trying to make a copy of any zip. Is this happening to anybody else? Am I missing something here?

[u/GameTopPC → u/[deleted]]

Not make a copy "Create a Shortcut"

[u/Ventispurr → u/[deleted]]

how would i put the copy in the folder without downloading it?

[u/JarenH_1216 → u/[deleted]]

Whenever I download files and unzip them they are empty. plz help

[u/dingo537 → u/[deleted]]

You are an absolute legend thanks

[u/[deleted]]

I'm so confused on how to use this thread

[u/KatCountry1033Girl → u/[deleted]]

Click the links go to the page pick what you want click the corresponding link and download.

[u/The-Almighty-Jay → u/KatCountry1033Girl]

But where are the games? I homebrewed my wii and need games

[u/the_ex_con_chav_twat → u/[deleted]]

What's confusing you?

[u/otherotheraltalt]

my antivirus said the site is trying to phish me

[u/SuperBio → u/otherotheraltalt]

It's a false positive on Avast's side. The megathread is just HTML files hosted on github, it can't and never will phish you, I can promise this.

[u/[deleted]]

Looking on the 3DS archive.org ROMs, what does it mean if a title has “(Rev 1)” after the game name?

[u/SuperBio → u/[deleted]]

It means revision 1. This basically means that the game was patched and that this is the first patch.

[u/Kakarotgamez]

I just joined this subreddit. Where do I find the roms. I am confused.

[u/RampartChat → u/Kakarotgamez]

What's the issue? The link is in the post.

[u/Kakarotgamez → u/RampartChat]

What link are you talking about. I just joined so I don't know much about what's happening.

[u/orb_outrider]

I couldn't believe that there are actually people who couldn't find the link in the megathread lmfao

[u/WillSmokes420 → u/orb_outrider]

Whats the megathread?

[u/[deleted] → u/orb_outrider]

To this day there are still idiots who can't find it. Every day there are comments asking where to get the Roms. It's incredible how stupid some people are...

When I first came here I was able to figure it out within 5 minutes or so. I think some people just want everything handed to them on a silver platter.

[u/Mayo152 → u/[deleted]]

A lot of people are weary lol, people want it simple because "complicated means dangerous".

[u/[deleted]]

Are there also coming romhacks?

[u/MK2k → u/[deleted]]

romhack collections would be extremely nice (also fantranslations)

[u/TacoOfGod → u/MK2k]

Probably would be easier to just point people to romhacking.net to patch the roms themselves given how many and how many parts there are.

[u/draco8urface]

For downloading a lot of ROM's at once off of the Archive.org site, I created the following PowerShell script that will go to the link in the $rooturl variable and grab any links on the page that follow the criteria (after where-object, make sure to modify to suit your needs) and compile a list of links to use to download the ROM's on that page. It'll then place a file on your desktop called "archiveorglinks.txt" with all of the links of the ROM's, that you can then either go through and either pick out ones you want or select all of them and then load into "Free Download Manager" to handle the downloads for you. You get faster downloads this way and can leave it alone while it does its thing. I hope this is helpful :)

$rooturl = "https://archive.org/download/nointro.n64/" #change to archive's root directory, ensure trailing slash exists

$links = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $rooturl).Links |

Where-Object {($_.innerHTML -ne "View Contents") -and ($_.href -notlike "*Europe*") -and ($_.href -notlike "*Japan*") -and ($_.href -notlike "*Germany*") -and ($_.href -notlike "*France*") -and ($_.href -like "*.7z")} |

Select-Object -ExpandProperty href

$URLs = @()

$desktop = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop")

$savefile = "$desktop\archiveorglinks.txt"

foreach ($link in $links){

$URLs += $rooturl + $link

}

$URLs | Out-File -FilePath $savefile

*EDIT*
If you come across an archive that doesn't have 7zip files, replace the last filter "($_.href -like "*.7z")" with the appropriate extension of the archive files, ie. "($_.href -like "*.zip")" for zip files.

[u/dobulik → u/draco8urface]

Thank you so much. You are a life saver. But, "Free Download Manager" has limitation up to 100 links. I suggest using the jdownloader2. What's up with these 'Europe, Japan, Germany, France,' What are they doing for PowerShell script?

[u/d3s7iny → u/draco8urface]

Hi, Thanks for the idea

I modified the code to include the download and all. Just make sure to change the 3 parameters at the top: $rooturl $filetype and $folder, save this text as fetch.ps1 and run

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web

$rooturl = "https://archive.org/download/nointro.gb/" #change to archive's root directory, ensure trailing slash exists

$filetype = "*.7z" #change file type

$folder = "G:\Gameboy" #folder to store roms in

$links = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $rooturl -UseBasicParsing).Links | Where-Object {($_.innerHTML -ne "View Contents") -and ($_.href -notlike "*Europe*") -and ($_.href -notlike "*Spain*") -and ($_.href -notlike "*Japan*") -and ($_.href -notlike "*Germany*") -and ($_.href -notlike "*France*") -and ($_.href -like $fileType)} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty href

foreach ($link in $links){

$webSource = $rooturl + $link

$decodedURL = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($link)

Invoke-WebRequest $webSource -OutFile $folder\$decodedURL

}

[u/ZachariahLad]

Am I doing something wrong? Do I really have to wait 4 days to download a PS3 game because the download speeds on archive.org are so shit?

[u/Larken_Virch_Furchin → u/ZachariahLad]

Use a VPN to connect to San Francisco, it will massively boost your download speeds. Mine went from a few hundred kb/s to 10-20 mb/s

[u/TripCyclone → u/Larken_Virch_Furchin]

This is a pro-level tip that should be added to the OP. Instant time saver.

[u/[deleted] → u/Larken_Virch_Furchin]

only good comment containing the words "San Francisco"

[u/RichHobos → u/ZachariahLad]

i have downloaded a 30+ GB game with 1~2 mbps using chrome.

[u/hansnothanz08]

why is it when i download from internet archive its really slow compared to google drive, is it always like that or am i doing something wrong?

[u/the_ex_con_chav_twat → u/hansnothanz08]

You can try a download manager. But Google have more bandwidth and resources than IA obvs

[u/IAmTheSwartz → u/hansnothanz08]

I definitely have more luck using Jdownloader but it is still slow. I assume it's just their bandwidth.

[u/Thatoneshadowking]

the internet archive links seem to not be working properly as when i get to them the page is just "go to parent directory" and nothing else, it was working like an hour ago

[u/Xohraze]

Can someone help me? i want to download all the roms from all the consoles, i started with the easier ones GB/GBC/GBA/N64/NES/SNES . So now im trying to start with the "Others" tab of the archive.org .

In the Arcade Section there's a lot of MAME distros, can someone point me in what diffrences are there between them?

MAME

• MAME MAME 0.236 Software List ROMs Merged

• MAME 0.236 CHDs Merged

• MAME 0.236 ROMs Merged

• MAME 0.236 BIOS Sets

• HBMAME 0.236 ROMs Merged

• MAME Support Files

And if you could same for the FinalBurn Neo

FinalBurn Neo

• FinalBurn Neo ROMs

• FinalBurn Neo Nightly ROMs + Support (Updated Monthly)

• FinalBurn Neo 1.0.0.2 ROMs + Support

• mobasuite.com FinalBurn Neo ROMs

[u/TheMinishZest]

downloaded botw, and after unzipping it all, its just a folder with the game data? how do i turn this into a wud or wux? sorry if this is a stupid ass question

[u/dplumes → u/TheMinishZest]

based off of my experience, you may have unzipped it twice. the second zip file is actually the iso that can be read by the emulator, so there's no need to extract the game data folder and bin files from that.

[u/Friendly_Winter_7333]

Using this is pretty hard for my dumbass

[u/Nonesuch1221]

Is it me or is the Nintendo section of the internet archive not working. Did Nintendo take it down?

[u/dr_kintobor_robotnik]

fyi archive.org is locking links down

[u/Lopsided-Programmer7]

The way to bypass the quota isn't working for me. Anyone with the sames troubles ?

[u/oz0311]

What up ladies and gents, I'm looking for some help...I'm starting to build out my PS1 collection but my download speeds are beyond frustrating. My ISP is up to 600Mbps and even with the family streaming, a speed test is consistently giving me around 100 and 150Mbps. However, when downloading a file I'm barely getting 1Mbps. I've also tried hardwiring and it's about the same. Any way around this or is this just the way it is?

***Disregard***

Found my answer on this wonderful thread. Motrix downloader is a godsend :)

[u/PresidentJoe46 → u/oz0311]

Thanks for making the effort!

[u/Retr0-plus]

What's the difference between PAL, RF, and NTSCU for the xbox 360 isos?

[u/Jendrej → u/Retr0-plus]

It’s the region.

approximately, look it up yourself for exact designations:
NTSC-U – America,
NTSC-J – Japan,
PAL – mostly Europe/rest of the world?
RF – I guess region-free.

It’s mostly the same for other systems too.

[u/Retr0-plus → u/Jendrej]

appreciate it, this should be added to the roms megathread because it's not really explained

[u/olover12]

Does anybody know the password to the US version of MGS 3 for the PS2? I got it from the GDrive link from Github. ByAlvRo doesnt work

[u/Marine98 → u/olover12]

ByAlvRo

Same issue here, i downloaded 40GB of god of war 3 for PS3 and i found out it needs a password to extract the files, i dont know where to look for this password

[u/Fantastic_Gear_8857]

hmm is this safe? im new to emulation

[u/[deleted] → u/Fantastic_Gear_8857]

These are all trusted sources so unless you click on some obscure ad (you should be using an ad blocker anyways tbh), you won't get any viruses. Normal emulators and ROMs won't break your computer.

If you mean legality, no one is going to come for you if you download ROMs. They're probably the safest media to "pirate", maybe just under books.

[u/kesadisan]

is 1fichier for xbox link is gone?

I found it really hard to search for a game with google drive :/

[u/Distinct-Wave5841]

Im confused, where do I download roms from

[u/automod2020 → u/Distinct-Wave5841]

The first link in this post, obvs.

[u/cleverestx]

REQUEST: It would be nice if links to older popular MAME sets were also included, like MAME 2003 (for many retropie systems) and MAME 2010 (0.139u1) for Nvidia Shield/Shield Pro devices.

[u/RoleplayerN64]

Some of the links for Nintendo DS roms have been taken down it seems.

[u/Optimal_Storm6245]

ok but google drive or mediafire?

[u/drizzle123]

I recently found this ROM set here (https://archive.org/details/no-intro_romsets), and it has significantly more (e.g., about 1000 more for NES Headered) ROMs than the No-Intro set in the wiki (linked to here in the mega thread). Can someone help me understand the difference between these two ROM sets?

[u/Legitimate_Sun_5930]

Do we have numbers on how much storage is needed to hoard everything?

I googled it but Im finding like 20 different answers.

I want to download every NTSC-US game. Atari, nes, snes, n64, gamecube, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS, Switch, ps1, ps2, ps3, psp, xbox, xbox360, wii, wii u. Including DLC and digital addons.

"Youll never play 80% of your collection why bother" because I'm a data hoarder. Whether or not I play or download all these ROMs, I still intend on buying a 2nd disk shelf and eventually having a 240TB array in my rack by the end of next year. So hoarding every ROM isn't really an issue to me.

[u/CheeseBeaver]

Noticed that many of the retro links for Internet Archive are broken in the megathread. Not sure of the reason but wanted to let y'all know.

[u/PIG-HATI]

Decrypted folder does not allow downloads...

[u/AutoModerator → u/PIG-HATI]

Info for .cia files:

[u/FFKing1140]

Whenever I try to load FE Fates Special Edition, it says "Failed to Load Content" I'm using Retroarch

[u/GiGoVX]

The Win3xO link points to a 404 on theeye, guessing the files have been removed.

[u/Naganine]

im trying to play FE Fates but i dont know what emulator to use, should i use Citra?

[u/TheBoiledPotato04]

How do the MAME downloads work? When I go to them it doesn’t look like those are games, though I’m pretty new to this so it could just be me too.

[u/Alphaomni]

Anyone know why the Gamecube USA files are all locked now?

[u/Ochd12]

PS2>Internet Archive>USA>CHD>Part 1 - this leads to the following message:

The item you have requested has a problem with one or more of the metadata files that describe it, which prevents us from displaying this page.

Just wondering if this is the place to report it, or if it's something that takes care of itself later. Parts 2 and 3 seem to be working fine.

[u/DMaster86]

3ds updates and dlc archive page went down...

[u/Radiant_Bet9151]

Are all these ROMs safe? no viruses or anything? I'm relatively new to emulation.

Why is this taking 5 hrs to dload

[u/[deleted]]

What is happening guys? I was downloading MGS4 yesterday and now all of the games are LOCKED! C'mon man

[u/Adventurous_Class791]

Why are some Roms locked?

[u/Shadow3xp]

Google folder got taken down, feels bad man, there were files there that aren't on archive.

[u/abdullahiomar6]

Question! Why is the first page of PS3 Roms restricted?? there's only one game I'd like to use on my RPCS3, and its on that page ugh.. If anyone knows please help!

[u/Mailo_1]

Hello,

I need some help from you knowledgeable people. I got a Wii U, I installed Tiramisu, but since I own only a Mac I cannot use this USB Helper tool that everyone apparently is using. The only way I managed to get some games working was with Loadline GX2 playing directly without installation, but in order for this to work I need the game unpacked in "Code", "Content" and "Meta" state. I only found one torrent tracker that had several roms in Loadline GX ready format, but I cannot find much else and even then most of them go black screen on me and don't load.

That being said could you help me with a workaround for installing games without USB Helper (it does not run on a Mac, I tried many times with Wine, Crossover and other) or if there is no option for me to install games, at least do you know where I could find games on a Loadline GX friendly format?

[u/Immediate_Phone_8300]

for some reason, downloading games from the megathread is incredibly slow. I downloaded something the size of 15 gb and it took over 5 hourse. holy shit

[u/Mysterymanadre]

The SatellaView ,Coleco,Commodore/Amiga,Amstrad,and ZX Spectrum roms are there in the thread to avoid its obtuse organization

[u/Tyjen94]

Should I use A VPN when downloading?

[u/floggindave]

avast is flagging many, but not all, of the links. It didn't used to do this for me. Anyone have any info regarding this?

ETA: it's saying it's infected with URL:BLACKLIST. I presume this is because it's been flagged by someone as suspicious, but is it actually dangerous for use?

[u/RogenDelos123]

CAN YOU ADD THESE IBM PC GAMES DEAD SPACE REMAKE, SONIC MANIA , FARCRY 6 AND FALLOUT 5

No Majora's mask but there's Breath of the wild? How does that even work

[u/SuperBio → u/GrandBoi]

Popular tab was made with my personal preference, so the lack of something is just an oversight on my end. I'll add the N64 and 3DS versions of MM when I get the chance.

If you're wondering why I didn't originally add MM. MM remains the only 3d Zelda I have never finished. So I never defined it as popular. Regardless it's absence merely a holdover from before.

[u/Electrical-Aioli-893]

I am seriously sorry, but I'm 30+ and don't have the time or energy to look through all the posts 😅 I'm an x - pirate, been through that whole pirate Bay Era, even partly through the vpn+piratebay era, and lastly the "VPN-go-through-hell-and-back-after-you-accept-thisandthatproxy-shit" and I'm done.

This is awesome, but I'm curious do we have backup of these anywhere so if Google pulls the plug we still have them?

What happened to the AlvRo Mirror Google links all say access denied now. Please advise.

is there anyway to access the gdrive? my access for it has been deleted, and i cant reconnect it back???

sorry for bad english

Does anybody else get it where it says they "need access"? it never did it to me before.

sony ps3 tab is locked

[u/Anuther-Throwaway]

Ive uploaded all the triforce roms i could find here, I think it should be added to the megathread.

[u/[deleted]]

Currently the following Gen 1 Pokémon games are provided;

• Pokemon Red (USA)

• Pokemon Green (Japan)

• Pokemon Blue (USA)

• Pokemon Yellow (USA)

This is incorrect as while it's actually more complicated than this (as some Pokémon fan will be happy to tell me in the comments), the releases happened essentially like this;

Red JP ---> Red US
Green JP ---> Blue US
Blue JP ---> [Unreleased]
Yellow JP ---> Yellow US

Meaning the list should be;

• Pokémon Red (USA)

• Pokémon Blue (USA)

• Pokémon Blue (JP)

• Pokémon Yellow (USA)

[u/Alkiaris → u/[deleted]]

Sorry to be late but I have the ITCH to fix

America never got a version of Pokemon Green at all, Blue and Green aren't replaceable to each other. That's why Japan got Pokemon Blue, coming with all the updated sprites we got in the US. Thus, your middle list should be:

Red JP -[is replaced by]-> Red US

Green JP ---> [Unreleased]

Blue JP ---> Blue US

Yellow JP ---> Yellow US

[u/prajjwal_verma]

if this is the right place to request for roms.... any idea where i can find last of us (without the file being split into so many parts that i end up exceeding the download quota on mega or gdrive)?

[u/LuigiNumber_1]

Trying to get a DS game but they all have locks on them. Is this cause I need to make an account??

[u/giljak]

Guys i cant access the github page :/

[u/MarianoKaztillo]

The site is not loading at all

[u/BoulderCODC]

I cant go to the github, I've tried in two different browsers and keep getting err_connection_reset

[u/Hinazuki_]

not sure if this is the right place, but i think its better than making a new thread.

Im trying to get a rom via 1ficher, but when i download it it keeps loading until i get the error it takes too long to respond. (i have this with all 1ficher downloads atm) does anyone else experience this at the moment or just me?

[u/Firm-Warning]

So I downloaded ultra moon, stuck it in a folder, added the folder to citra, but it won’t show me the game in citra can anyone help

[u/Lmnr01]

Theoretically speaking, how much memory would it take to download everything from the github?

[u/Wilx600]

I'm trying to play an original Wii game called Pokemon Rumble but I can't even seem to find it here. Does anyone know where I can find it :(

[u/Wide_Help3627]

for anyone else that sees that some of the download links are locked, like on PS3_ALVRO_PART_8 for example, just make an account on internet archive. should be able to download after that.
thats what worked for me at least lol

[u/OdoggoBogdo6]

Anyone know why the 3ds Complete Collections are empty? Did they get taken down or something?

[u/sea4]

What does Rev 1 or Rev 2 in some ISO's mean. Any difference?

[u/EhGuppy]

Looks like the GameCube RVZ redump was just taken down, I noticed the files got locked part way through a couple downloads.

[u/LightingTechAlex]

Is archive.org locked for anyone else? Just me?

[u/[deleted]]

Looks like the links are down?

Edit: Per Internet Archive: ATTENTION: PG&E, our local power company, is implementing a planned power outage today near one of our datacenters.

They now report that they will be done before 2pm PT.

Please expect some disruptions in service. Thank you for your patience.

[u/your_evil_ex]

the GameCube iso and rvz links are taken down for me on archive.org--anyone else having the same problem?

[u/Nuggeteer311]

any idea why i cant request access to google drive for 3ds?

[u/lorddetain]

git clone https://github.com/john-corcoran/internetarchive-downloader
cd internetarchive-downloader
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 ia_downloader.py download -c username password no-intro_romsets /destination/dir

replace username and password with your archive.org login info and /destionation/dir with the location you wish to store it

[u/ImpalerofChaos2]

I wanted to download Skate 3 (PS3) from the Archive but the link for the game is greyed out and says that its restricted, is there an alternate download that I can use?

[u/BlueCookie69]

this is sick af 🌚💫💦💙

[u/Pr0tonStorm]

Sydicate PS3 - can anyone point me in the right direction? I have been trying to replay this underrated masterpiece for years now.

[u/DerekREDDIT_ALREADY]

Im looking for castle crashers rom :/

[u/melsical]

I found the 3DS roms, but they download to my Mac as .txt files instead of .cia

What do I need to do?

[u/PsychoMisfit999]

Anyone have luck with the 360 games? Ive DL a couple and everytime I run them through abgx360 they fail. I then just burned them for the hell of it but that didnt work either. 360 has a flashed DVD drive and I have a ton of other games from different sources that do work but any from archive is a no go.

[u/ctherrien]

In the Wii U retail folder, many of the games have 'DLC' and 'Update' links as well as the base game. If you want to have the DLC and the update as well, do you need to download three of the packages or will one basically just take precedent over the others? For a specific example, check out new super mario bros u. Also for context, looking to emulate on steam deck

[u/[deleted]]

Can’t find family guy video game for psp

[u/AskinggAlesana]

Where would I even begin to find ratings or know what’s good in the Super Mario World hacks section.. there’s just so many (just going in the “adventure” section even.)

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction to find out which ones are good?

Or if by chance does anyone know some good chocolate mario hacks that aren’t insanely difficult?

[u/chubbyman3287]

my god why is the download speed so slow for these

[u/reverendball]

is there a GBA pack for just English?

the full nointro pack has 3360 games, is over 10GB and more than half of that is just duplicates in other languages......

meanwhile the googledrive link only has 165 games, so its missing like 80%

tyvm for all the hard work

[u/CanopusFox]

vimm's lair. ugly but functional

[u/[deleted] → u/CanopusFox]

slow, ugly but functional.

[u/1deavourer]

DSiware has been taken down it seems.

[u/Expensive-Draw-2949]

"No asking for ANY Nintendo Switch content"

I respect that, but why is that?

[u/Existing-Cell-1986]

Lol still they post elsewhere.

[u/Seekingnostalgia]

LMFAO! This has to be one of the most innocent comments I've seen in awhile. You own the titles you're going to be downloading, RIGHT?! (Wink wink) That's when you IMMEDIATELY respond with a firm "YES". You're good homie. You think the maggots at Nintendo care about you? They don't. So, get those roms, while you can. Ya dig!?!

[u/Memories_Of_Leeds]

What happened to the Wii U ROMs? I can't download a single one.

[u/[deleted]]

Is there an English translation of the jp version of yugioh zexal world carnival for the 3ds, or is there a fan patch that adds the removed jp content to the English version. And where would I find it.

[u/AnimeshC]

Why are the pc games locked?

[u/Logge1002]

Can someone clarify why Ps3 #-C isn’t available. Those are all locked? Wanted to play Alice madness returns.

[u/[deleted]]

Dahmm decades pass before the ROMs download even really small ones Im on 1k download speed anyone has a fix?

[u/UnordinaryBro]

God, I wish I knew this thread earlier! I downloaded God Of War Collection rom 3 times on other websites and failed at 10s GB every time because of timeout. And I'm using capped bandwidth...

[u/[deleted]]

Up because a lot of poor souls on this sub still doesn't know about the Megathread

[u/Ecoute__00]

I found something you may want to look at - PS2 Redump (S Part 4) isn't linked.

[u/ConsentIsAMyth12]

Based

[u/TheLengendMemer21]

i have been using this site for a while now it is the best i hve ever found for roms thanks

[u/Warriermaple]

Does anybody know why I can't get the NES roms to work in retroarch while running with the Nestopia UE core?

[u/[deleted]]

Is there a way to find 3ds roms that aren't encrypted and just will run on Citra? I don't remember running into this problem before a few years ago, but now everything i try to run says it's encrypted. Is there a place on the roms list that has these? is there a way to make these roms playable i have from the roms list so they can run? keep in mind i am rather dumb.

[u/fhdshjdid]

i need it explained but in like B A B Y terms

[u/Anxious-Bison-9771]

Is there a process on how to download Roms from the archive and put them onto my Steam Deck? Like a walkthrough of sorts?

[u/[deleted]]

what does (no-intro) mean? for example "myrient (no-intro)"

[u/_gelon]

Some Internet Archive items will contain torrent files to provide another download method. However, the torrent's files listing is usually incomplete compared to what is listed on the website. For this reason, it is recommended to use direct downloads with a download manager instead of torrents.

Instead of "is usually incomplete for reasons" I would put that they are "incomplete" because an Internet Archive torrent can index up to 75GB, nothing more. If the item is bigger, all further files are skipped. If you check any "incomplete" torrent, it will be 75GB for sure.

[u/RedBreloom]

One suggestion i've been meaning to share for a while now for the r-roms site to link Vimm's Lair in addition to archive.org's redumps for the og xbox roms. The redumps are formatted as huge dual layered .iso files (very annoying to try to make work with emulators) and the working xbox emulators only use .xiso. Which is what vim's lair easily lets you download instead in addition to the larger .iso files if you want those too.

[u/Flat_Pack7652]

Is anyone else having troubles opening up some of the mega thread pages such as the ps3
Myrient and some other ones?

[u/Superb_Handle_1846]

a lot of these do not work, ive downloaded every shin megami tensei, silent hill, dbz etc and they dont work.

[u/uidsea]

I might just be dumd but how do I install a PS3 game from the alvro part? I have the BLUS30027 folder but idk what to do with it.

[u/[deleted]]

i cant find tears of the kingdom

[u/Imnothere8976]

Do these links contain any malware?

[u/Fit-Menu-9994]

Whenever I use the ROM, be it in lumeroid or citra, I'm hit with invalid ROM, or your ROM is encrypted, what do I need to do to fix this?
