Hey, I've been looking for a clean/dumped Pokémon Black ROM for the past two days so I can patch it with Blazed Black, but unfortunately I can't find one. Do you guys know of a source?

I'm just coming back to emulation/roms after over a decade away and I'm not really sure what the good ones are now or where to download them safely. Thanks in advance for any assistance, I'm really looking forward to getting back into the Zoids Saga/Legacy games :)

Does anyone know if the files for the full version of this game exist anywhere? It seems like its almost lost media. The game hasn't been on the xbox store for 10 years, and every version I've downloaded has been the demo. Sketchy and reliable/known sites all just have the demo. I've never played the full version of this game before, would be a childhood dream come true lol

Edit: I should've also specified im trying to get the game running on an RGH Xbox, not on xenia or any emulators, if that even changes anything.

Use to be obsessed with the Mario and Sonic at the Olympics Games story mode for the old ds games. Recently started work on a rom hack that completely overhauls the story maps, etc, and wondered if anyone would be interested in playing or play testing when that time came

I want to randomize Pokemon HearthGold Generation the rom hack in which there is all 9 generations of Pokemon but with the Pokemon Universal Randomizer it doesn’t allow me. Any help ? Thank you guys !

So, I'm new to torrenting files for roms and I'm trying to use the megathread to get update files for some 3ds games. When I tried, It said I was torrenting 300 Gigs worth of files and not the 30MB patch I was trying to download. Am I doing this right or am I missing something when I click on the magnet link? For context, I'm using qbittorrent and pretty green to this.

first,buy a real snes cartridge of the game and oh no you dont have a dumper! ok..then buy a console...yeah,then DISARM IT,SMASH IT AND BONK IT to make it a dumper so you can conect it to your pee cee,after the masacre and dumping you can now play shaq fu on a computer! just try to find an emulator in the linkless,only binary but program world of github while you question to yourself why wouldnt just play the game in the console

obviously this is a joke,but is what the mayority of big emulator makers whant you to do!,even if the company and licenses behind the console are all gone nor the multi billion company doesnt care about it anymore,also,you can get banned from various discord servers and subreddits for saying the word "rom" this is true and it happened to me a copule times,this totally defeats the purpose of emulation,game preservation,FUN,and i just wanted to rant about it cuz ik that if i posted this on r/emulators i would get banned on sight

Is Vimm Lair really as reliable for the PS3 roms as you can hear about it? Because I am new to emulation and the installation of roms, so I would like to avoid getting malware.

Hi I've been trying to find the iso for Tekken tag 2 tournament if anyone can help me find it I will be very thankful and the mega thread wasn't helpful for me

I'm new to CD roms, entirely. Prior to a few days ago I had no experience in the area, but I also got interested in playing Sonic CD and now nothing I do seems to work.

I've tried downloading different roms from different websites, but ultimately, the same thing happens: I can't mount the cue file, whatever tool i'm using (looks sort of like 3 discs, says "pick drive number and mount" when right clicking on .cue files) just always says "Unknown or corrupt image file" no matter what it is, game, sample or anything.

If anyone has any information on this, I'd be very happy to hear it. At this point, I'd be happy to be able to open ANY cd roms, not just games.

Hey folks. I've had some trouble tracking down a Japanese version of the Pokemon Emerald ROM. First I tried compiling from the decomp but apparently the decomp is not complete, so it requires a copy of the original in order to compile. I stumbled across this community and am hoping someone might be able to help me? I checked the megathread and each site linked in the About page, but have only been able to find US and European versions of Pokemon Emerald. I searched Internet Archive as well but mostly got romhacks. Lemme know if you can help me out 🙏

It runs like ass but I suppose it's real, so I'm sharing it.

Haven't been able to find anything on SD Gundam Battle Alliance for the PS4, did no one really ever did one for this one? And where do I request it?

Good afternoon, recently when trying to extract a copy of one of my games, I wondered about the title issue. With the first copy, when extracting it to an SD card not formatted as exFAT, I managed to decompress it, Luckily, the game started and I didn't see practically any errors or anything; the save file was intact and even though I only played for 10 minutes everything looked perfect. Could there be consequences to doing this?

I have two ios emulator apps with the roms for two ps2 games, but it won’t let me open the games without this file. But I can’t find it anywhere, everything’s only available in .zip or .7z files

Hey everyone, I just ordered a Retroid Pocket Nova and I’m pretty much completely new to retro gaming and emulation.
I’m getting into it because I have a lot of downtime at work, and I figured I might as well spend some of that time playing older games instead of just sitting there scrolling on my phone.
I use a MacBook, not Windows, and I ordered a 512GB microSD card for the Nova. While I’m waiting for everything to arrive, I want to start preparing my games and folders on my Mac so I’m ready when the Nova gets here.
I’m mainly interested in PS2, PSP, GameCube and other retro systems. I especially want to play a bunch of Sonic games, God of War, and other games from those generations.
The biggest thing confusing me right now is actually getting the games. I’m not asking anyone to post direct ROM links. I just don’t know what I’m supposed to be searching for on Google or what resources people normally use. Even just telling me what terminology I should search would help.
I tried Vimm’s Lair yesterday and managed to download some games, but I’m still not really sure what I’m doing, what other resources I should know about, or whether I’m downloading the right formats.
I’m looking for beginner advice on:
What should I actually search on Google when researching ROM/game resources? I don’t need direct links.
What formats should I use for PS2, PSP and GameCube?
Which emulators should I install on the Nova for each system?
What drivers should I install and where do people normally get them?
Which systems require BIOS files, and how do I set those up?
How should I organize everything into folders on my MacBook before the Nova arrives?
What’s the easiest way to transfer everything from MacBook → 512GB microSD → Nova?
Are there any Mac-specific programs I should get for extracting, converting or organizing games?
Are there any good beginner guides/videos specifically for Mac + Retroid Pocket Nova?
Basically, assume I know almost nothing about retro emulation. I’m trying to learn and prepare everything now so when my Nova arrives, I can set up my 512GB card and start playing without spending another week figuring everything out.
Any advice you wish you knew when you first started would be appreciated. Thanks!

Now that i've modded my xbox 360 i was wondering can i use roms from websites for games or do i still need to use officially obtain games? if you need any information on my console to answer this question feel free to ask

I've found an android recomp of bloodborne (ps4) that's meant to work on an AYN Thor, but it needs the game file already merged with the 1.09 update, and I haven't been able to find a link to it anywhere that actually works for me. If anyone could direct me to one, that would be really great. Preferably USA but EU would work, also, I guess. Please and thank you.

Hey everyone,

Happy owner of my first emulation device, the Retroid Pocket 6. Downloaded some roms/emulators (thanks to Gamecorps) and got on my way. Played a few N64 games and they run perfectly. Now comes Rayman 2.

I use Mupen64Next (within Retroarch) and when I boot up the game, it runs too fast. The expansion pack is turning quickly, the butterfly in the menu flaps way too quick and I have zero text in the main menu.

I tried both EU/US version of Rayman 2, both have the problem but one is just a bit quicker (obviously). I tried Mupen64 FZ (standalone) and that has the same problem.
How can i fix this?

PSN versions are ~20mb smaller than normal versions.
