DO NOT ASK FOR/OFFER ISOs IN THIS THREAD OR FORUM. DO NOT POST REQUESTS FOR ROMS/ROM CATEGORIES WITHOUT POSTING A NEW ROM SITE LINK IN THIS THREAD.

I thought I'd make a new post for this since new sites are constantly appearing, and more importantly, existing sites are constantly going down and closing. The two biggest sites I know of:

http://www.edgeemu.com

http://www.planetemu.net

edgeemu.com is constantly unavailable one way or another, and for some reason I can't properly open the zip files I download from planetemu.net. Maybe it's their high security. Anyone know of any other good rom download sites currently available? I'm interested mainly in NES, SNES and Sega Genesis roms, but let's all help each other out.

And of course, sites that offer hacked roms would be a big help too.

I have one site for rom hacks. And I'm NOT giving it out. It's mine.. my only... my precccioussss. >:

As for roms, I have this one for MAME:

http://mamefans.metropoliglobal.com/roms.htm

It's all in Spanish, so I can't understand anything beyond the game titles. I don't even know what version MAME is anymore (after MAME.Net pussied out and took their roms down, I really stopped paying attention).

Feb 20th, 2003, 01:29 AM
The best I knew of are coolroms.com and freeroms.com. Of course, someone already mentioned Cherryroms.com. One problem with Freeroms is that even with a cable modem it still takes forever and a day to DL them.

The best site I know of to find some rarer NES roms is Marbysworld.com. Hope this helps. And btw, I know this sounds stupid, but I've found every GB rom I could EVER want except Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters. If ANYONE has this or knows where to find it that's not a broken link, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hey the guy just asked a site and normally you guys should give it to him instead of acting like a 10 year old. I don't have a Psx Iso site either. That's because of the rather large filesize of the ISO and not many sites want to serv it. I would say you go and d/l Kazaa from www.kazaa.com. Then you can download a few psx roms like metal gear solid and tenchu and Dragonball GT: Final Bout. Other than that i would like to say that emulation is mostly history :( . To many good sites or losing roms or closing up because of legal problems or not enough votes. SO PEOPLE, KEEP THE EMULATION ALIVE

I'd say the problem with the VOTING sites is that EVEN AFTER FUCKING VOTING the roms still don't work. So I prefer, as I'm sure others do, to stay AWAY from sites that require votes. Any link I've tried from those "Top 50 Sites" do NOT work, at least for me.

I think that people prefer just getting straight to the roms (much like CherryRoms.com)

FS
Mar 10th, 2003, 06:32 AM
http://goodroms.emuchina.net

One of the sites posted in this thread required that you voted on two sites before downloading the rom, or else it would be corrupted (the site also declared it would shut down unless they got a certain number of votes through by the end of the month). I stay away from those sites because I simply don't believe that the download can be any different if you do vote.

FS, when you posted this link:
http://www.edgeemu.com


Did it work then? I've tried it several dozen times since I found this thread and it NEVER worked for me.

Do you get a site with dead links, or nothing at all? Some time ago it had a large selection of roms for download, but after that they had constant server troubles and you'd get a message when trying a download telling you the server wasn't working, they were relocating, etc. Could be that they finally shut down now.

darthmaiden, if people ask for specific roms without giving out a link in the process, this thread can rapidly fill up with posts no one has use for. If you're really stumped on findind a specific game, make a new thread for it.

James
Mar 10th, 2003, 07:03 AM
EdgeEmu is still up and running. Problem is, they just never have their roms database working. None of their NES roms are even linked at the moment, and anything that is link is to a broken link.

It's not shut down, it's just that I've literally tried it once a day since I read that post, since they had quite a few roms listed I could not find ANYWHERE else, and the links aren't broken but I always get the same ol' song and dance about Server Problems.

BTW the link trick I mentioned earlier DOES work wonders. Sometimes you have to rely on trial and error because the links will have nothing written beside them or in the link itself to let you on that you're going to a ROM site but sometimes you strike gold.

Skulhedface
Mar 10th, 2003, 04:03 PM
Oh, and I don't think romnation.net works.

Even if I go through that "vote" bullshit, anytime I click on "Download Your Rom Now" it says that I am downloading "redirect.php".

Cap'n Crunch
Mar 10th, 2003, 06:56 PM
The largest collection of NES and MAME roms on the internet is www.theoldcomputer.com. I suggest you go to that website if you really want ROMS. There are not alot of pop-ups and no voting is required. They have T-shirts there too if you want to buy them. That is the best ROM site I know of.

Skulhedface
Mar 10th, 2003, 08:56 PM
Well, I think (I may be in the minority here) that it's not very hard to find an old NES or even MAME rom... the ones that are getting hard to find are Genesis and SNES roms (SNES roms meaning even the ones that are IDSA protected, like CherryRoms.com has all over)

I think we need a LOT more sites on Genesis and to a lesser extent, SNES.

That's RomNation. Don't worry too much about it. But I find the site to be the best one listed so far. You don't have to vote or anything. Just download the roms and they'll work fine.

FS
Mar 20th, 2003, 06:02 AM
Yeah, I've been downloading a number of roms from romnation now and it worked fine.

Skullhedface, don't worry if you get prompted to download "redirect.php". When you start downloading, the filename changes to the zip file you're trying to get.

Skulhedface
Mar 20th, 2003, 12:02 PM
I think Jamesman mentioned that in one of his other posts, but thanks anyway.

A new problem has arisen though. I downloaded Marvel VS Street Fighter and Marvel Vs Capcom for MAME, but neither of them show up in my MAME menu, although I KNOW they're in the right directory.

[edit[ Ironically, Metal Slug 1-3 all work fine :lol

timrpgland
Mar 20th, 2003, 07:53 PM
I usually find the emulator that works best with that specific rom. For example I will use Kawaks for Metal Slug 3 and for Metal Slug 4 I will use Nebula.

Not sure why MvSF and MvC won't work. You may need a seperate .dat file for those roms for them to show up in the list. I actually own those games so I haven't emulated em.

Skulhedface
Mar 20th, 2003, 11:26 PM
It can't be the DAT files, those are already included. I just wonder why it wouldn't show up. It's in the right directory, and I did refresh it...hmm.

Skulhedface
Mar 23rd, 2003, 10:01 PM
OK, the version of MAME I had was MAME32. When I downloaded Nebula everything worked fine.

Has anyone seen a ROM for MvsC2? Or does such a ROM exist? And for some reason, I CAN NOT get Metal Slug 3 to work, Tim. Everything else finally works but not this one.

Hey, I've been looking for a site that has SNES emulators and ROMS(specifically Super Castlevania) for a couple of days now that is compatible with Windows XP, to no avail. Everything is either corrupted or they just plain don't work. Any suggestions?

By the way, theoldcomputer.com works great for most of my Nesticle ROMs.

Also, if there's any way, are there any Genesis emulators and ROMs for Windows XP? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Seems like a good place to exchange info, here. I don't have a site of my own, but I have a few to offer in case you don't already know of them:

http://isovortex.emuparadise.org/iso/

They have a small variety of PSX Isos. Unfortunately, C:SotN is down. But there are no votes, no links. Just clean downloads.

http://www.pureroms.com/index.php/emulators/gameboy%20advance

This is to search for GBA roms, though you can find others there too. The database is down, but hopefully it will be fixed soon.

http://zcubed.hypermart.net/dload.html

Good if you are looking for all versions of Pokemon. Sapphire and Ruby are still in Japanese.

I have numerous PC warez sites also, though they are by no means difficult to find.

Would it be bold of me, now, to ask if there is a site possessing the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Iso? My search for that one rom is what has caused me to run across every other sort of place in existence.

And I agree on that voting crap. It's complete BS.

but anything else is fair game.

Mobri Domble
Apr 3rd, 2003, 10:57 AM
Well, there's a reason for that:

The link leading here is labelled "PSX Isos"

That's how half the internet population arrives here, and why half of them are talking about Castlevania; that's in the description too.

Do a Yahoo search and you'll probably see what I'm talking about.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Apr 5th, 2003, 09:59 AM
There was a post on the EdgeEmu forums with an insane amount of links, half of which were divided into categories. A lot of them didn't work, though, which sucks.

But I just checked and the forums are down because EdgeEmu's got a new layout and it suuuuucks.



And whoever was looking for the Kid Icarus GB ROM (In one of the posts from like February), I have it if you're still looking/still here/shut up.



I also have a burned copy of C:SotN. I don't have it right now, though, and my ISP limits uploads to around 13kb/s. But eh, I could get it back and possibly gain enough patience to send it to someone . . . Maybe.

I don't know.

Oh, yeah. They've got a pretty decent selection of NES and Master System games, and they download quickly too.

I would like to recommend http://www.kaillera.com/ this program allows you to play mame games online, its a blast.

I read that someone was having problems with metal slug series, I have found that for all neo geo games the neoragex emulator is the way to go. I regularly use it for the metal slug series and it works flawlessly. It also has the advantages that the romsets are much smaller and load times are much better.

I'm amazed that people still seem to be having trouble finding roms these days. Hell i've even seen working psx isos online (emuchina or chinaemu used to have plenty, from "street fighter ex 2 plus" to "vagrant story") and compressed until they were up to 50 mb and not a byte more!
A good place to find out about websites that have hard to find roms is kaillera, a program included with some emulators which makes possible internet play. There's hundreds of people everyday in kaillera's many servers and most of them know some pretty good sites (after all these guys play arcade/psx/n64/genesis roms online). Go to www.kaillera.com to find out more.
Here's a site you won't be disappointed looking up by the way:

This thread needs some attention, now. A lot of the old links don't work anymore. thenationnet.com is back up, but it's slow, and every rom I tried to download was incomplete (I only tried MAME for now). EdgeEmu is not requesting $30 donations for their hosting in order to download the majority of their games, and have a TON of popups.

Those were really the only two sites I would visit, because they were so consistent in quality. But that's gone to shit.

the bad news: you have to register (luckily it's free. the paying part applies with the sega CD ISOs)

*the other good news: registering will get you a free frogurt coupon

*the other bad news: the frogurt's cursed

*even more good news: the frogurt comes with free toppings

*even more bad news: the toppings have oleander (that's the additive that causes diarrhea in some potato chips

Most ROM sites I've been on involving MAME use the filename rather than the actual name of the arcade game. You know, it'd have been easier to find this oh-so-obvious ROM had it not been, oh, I dunno, tmksh001 or something.

My point is it took quite some time to find it actually labelled as TIME KILLERS, and see, I have limited patience for trial-and-error downloading.

This may be offtopic but stick with it for a second...

If you can't find it on any of the links we've posted here yet there's two things you can do:

1: Google/Yahoo search for ROM translations

2: MySpace (yeah, it's gay but deal with it for a second)... go into the groups and type in ROMs for the search and you may find a couple of groups with odd links, and one of them might have what you're looking for.

With the first option you may just have to download the Japanese version and patch an IPS file to it but that's not that hard.

I downloaded Crystalis. Is the game supposed to go into some kind of pause state whenever to press 'B'?

I've tried at least two versions of the rom and it still comes up.

I'm playing it on FCE Ultra, could that be the problem?

Jan 12th, 2008, 06:29 PM
I just fired up Crystalis on my NES, and no, B is the standard attack button. In fact, the game has no generic NES pause state, so yeah, try changing emulators.

Unless you're getting a menu when you pause, in which case your button layout is just screwed up.
