Ported from the r/roms Megathread. This wasn't on Lemmy so here it is.

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.

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

Changelog:

Ported Megathread over to Lemmy.

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.

Since I won't be active given events coming up soon, post below if anyone wants to take up moderation. Ideally I'd prefer if you mention any experience you have and why you'd want to do that,

It appears like it's recommended over WiiU USB Helper and I would like to give it a go (considering I can't get the title keys section in Wii USB Helper to work anymore) but WiiUDownloader is freezing anywhere from two to ten minutes into downloading or decrypting games. It doesn't appear to be consistently at the same spot or with the same game. I've only tried it on the one computer running Windows 11 but it should have more than sufficient specs.

I've searched /r/ROMs and the only posts that had responses and weren't snarky comments telling people to search the megathread or another community seem to say different versions, connecting to a different network, or repeated attempts are the possible solutions. I'm wondering if anyone has come across a more consistent solution before I resort to downloading directing from the Internet Archive and decrypting the games myself or trying to navigate their Discord channel.

Could also be useful information for people who run into issues in the future.


Edit: I still haven't found a solution and resorted to using .wua files that combine the game and updates.

I recently lost my hard drive and my build of Shadps4 I had started to run Bloodborne on. The avenues that I used to procure my sys_module files are no longer available, can anyone direct me in getting some new ones?

sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to ask, this instance just seemed less ban-horny about questions like this

If you follow this community you are likely already aware of a majority of what this video covers. It seems to have been created as a response to the take down of ROMs on Vimm's Lair.


It's a 14 minute video by Modern Vintage Gamer that talks about ROM take downs and how Internet Archive ROM sets have managed to stay up (the Internet Archive page explaining this can be found here), the challenge of dumping games, and how Nintendo isn't doing enough for fans.

I wanna archive some older systems but don't know what romsets are real or not, anyone know good romsets? Mainly for older systems, like SNES and earlier +GBA

Sad news tonight. Nintendo of America has requested for 717 games and their images to be removed from The Vault. Each download plus it's box art and screen shots are no longer available.

I have Stardew Valley and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on my Android phone, and I'd like to put them onto my PC. It seems like most of the ways I've found online include using the Google Play store in some way. Which, is an option. But, though I'm no privacy purist I'd still like to resist giving Google more access to my machines if I can avoid it. So is there a way to rip or move my games from Android to PC without using Google Play?

Firstly, I don't recommend Emuparadise because it has bad dumps, old translation patches, scene ROMs with cracktros, and is generally not a good website. But if you need to use it due to fast downloads, I would recommend CDRomance or The Rom Depot, and check the megathread first for games that are not available on other sites.

Anyway, here is how you can download from it after its apparent shutdown:

  1. Get a userscript manager

PS: Greasemonkey and Violentmonkey can also be used, but they aren't recommended due to a worse script compatibility.

  1. Get the Emuparadise Download Workaround userscript Userscript installation process with Tampermonkey

  2. Download with the “Download using the workaround script” link How your download options should look like after the userscript installation

That's all. After installing the userscript, if the page was open before, just reload it to apply the userscript. The games are downloaded using Emuparadise's servers. This also functions on mobile devices.

Browse through thousands of Roms from a myriad of consoles


The 3DS Modders of you might know this page aswell as myrient is the backbone of hShop. But to all the others, enjoy this wonderful fileserver!

It contains nearly every ROM i searched for. The newer consoles are not on it (Switch, PS4, etc.) but all the retro consoles, heck even up to the 3DS, is all there.

You can connect to it via FTP, Rsync or browse the fileserver straight from their website.

They got different repacks of the games and usually offer all different regional releases.

Have fun with it!
