Roms Megathread 4.0 HTML Edition 2021

14.7k Upvotes

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:

Redid Megathread post on Reddit, hopefully this is a cleaner, easier to read version that isn't as confusing as the out of date changelog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

Question Does " Dinosaur Planet " for the Nintendo 64 exist as a completed game in a cart (reproduction)?

Upvotes

I'm an avid collector of original hardware/games and so know almost nothing of emulation or reproductions outside of what to avoid when seeking legit copies. I've taken an interest in trying to find a copy of the unpublished game from Rare in the form of a Nintendo 64 cart, do these exist online to be sold and if so is there a reliable source for purchasing them in a fully function state?

Request You have to seed

80 Upvotes

There was all this chatter, followed by a huge effort to save Myrient, but it looks like this community that I am part of has given up.

Literally 0 seeds for the Internet Archive > teamgt19 torrent. Yeah it's a huge torrent at almost 2tb, but why is everyone doing a hit and run?

If somehow I get to 100%, I'll seed this indefinitely. I don't expect others to do the same, but at least dedicate 30 days. We're all in this together and it only works if we work as a community.

REQUEST TO THE MODS: Can we discuss about these kind of posts?

Post image
39 Upvotes

Edit: lol all right well, judging by replies like "This is the norm. What are you talking about?", "What can realistically be done? Nothing.'' and the obligatory "First time?", despite that was literally being the first thing I said, you guys would rather shrug and keep complaining, saying ''that's just how it is'', rather than actually try to improve anything. I guess that's easier than expecting people to use the search bar.

Carry on then.

Thanks for the proposed solutions:

  • Low karma requirement/filter [Proposed by u/Someweirdo237 and u/scottjl]
    • Goal: prevent brand-new accounts/throwaways from immediately posting basic questions.
  • Require users to acknowledge an FAQ/megathread before posting [Proposed by u/mike94100]
    • Example: AutoMod removes/holds the post, leaves a message, the user has to confirm they've read the resources before the post goes public.
  • AutoMod keyword filtering [Proposed by u/HouselessGamer]
    • Example: posts containing things like ''where rom'', ''find rom'', etc., get automatically redirected to the megathread.
  • Title/body keyword restrictions [Proposed by u/Someweirdo237]
    • Reddit now allows restricting posts based on phrases/keywords.
  • Megathread organization [Proposed by u/Yagotsu]
    • Combine or remove redundant megathreads to make the resources clearer.
  • Combine the Help Megathread and ROM Megathread [Proposed by u/Yagotsu]
    • Reason: if one mostly redirects users to the other, having both may confuse newcomers.
  • Rename/rework the megathread title [Proposed by u/Nivek_Vamps]
    • Seeing a pinned thread with a year in the title makes newcomers think it is outdated.
    • Example:
      • Bad: ''ROM Megathread 2024''
      • Better: ''ROM Megathread - Start Here''
  • Teach users how to search instead of just answering [Proposed by u/DifferentMind8]
    • The idea: don't just give the answer, teach the process so they can solve future problems. (Honestly, this is the way to go, but the efforts must come from both sides).
  • Ignore individual low-effort posts
    • Several people argued this is what they already do.
    • Not really a solution for the ''feed quality'' problem, more a coping strategy.
  • Do nothing because moderation burden/false positives are hard [u/daedric's point]
    • More an explanation of why nothing changes, but the point is pertinent nonetheless.

Surely I'm preaching to the choir, but I've joined this sub a week ago and honestly this level of laziness is beyond comprehension.

u/Daxzero0 said it best here:

The inability to source the answers to very basic questions yourself means you’re not equipped for the nuances and little challenges of emulating. You’re cluttering our feeds because you’re too helpless to try and do anything yourself.

I'm not trying to gatekeep but emulation has never been a hobby where you just push a button and everything magically works. Half of it has always been reading searching forums and trials and errors sometimes.

Imagine going on Romnation and making a thread titled ''WHERE TO DOWNLOAD ROM! HELP!!!!'', when the answer was one search away. All these years of emulation and I don't think I've ever had to ask one of these basic questions because the information was already out there.

The sub already has a Help Megathread covering these kind of questions and there's a Roms Megathread, but people won't read the rules and megathreads before posting.

So what can realistically be done about it?

Because if this becomes the norm, this will eventually turns into an unpaid tech support sub for people who won't spend 30 seconds searching. The people who actually contribute knowledge will move on and the quality of the community goes with them, like many other subs.

Koodos and thanks to u/ChaosRenegade22 and u/SuperBio for their work.

Resource My Minerva Downloader is NOW OUT in alpha on Windows!

Upvotes

PiraChest is an all-in-one downloader and manager for games, ROMs, BIOS, media, and more. Browse multiple sources (currently only Minerva), queue downloads, manage your library, verify files, and download everything from a single modern interface. It's currently a work in progress, with many features still WIP. https://github.com/TheJustRun/PiraChest/releases

Please keep in mind this is a **very, very** early release, because things like this require time, feedback, and constant testing to perfect and improve. Instead of blindly developing it alone, I'm releasing it in alpha so you can help me improve it.

So please be mindful with this release. It will have bugs, unfinished features, placeholders, and crashes. If you encounter any bugs, glitches, crashes, or have a suggestion, you can report them on the GitHub page. I especially need contributions to help add features and fix more issues as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or send me a DM.

Looking for specific dump of Fire Red

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi all. This is my first post here. I attempted to use the mega thread, but the ROM listed does not have the correct MD5 hash. I really wanted to play a ROM hack of Fire Red called frlg.ips. However, it required a ROM of Fire Red 1.0 with the MD5 hash listed above (starting with 6ebc60). Try as I might, I can't find a copy with the correct hash. If anyone can point me in the direction of the right file dump, I would greatly appreciate it.

Edit: so apparently, the base ROM file doesn't need to match MD5s to the pack file. I got it working with the Squirrels ROM.

I browse Vimm's Lair often and find myself constantly flipping between tabs to check if a ROM supports RetroAchievements. This bridges that gap, cross-checking it for you and embedding that info directly on Vimm's Lair.

Built over the weekend (completely human-written, no AI).

All installation instructions and source code can be found here:
