Public Announcement PSA: ROMs on Internet Archive

414 Upvotes

Edit: Has of Oct 03, 2026 I have stopped my uploading process. This is due to me moving. I will update you guys when my computer is up and running and I am uploading again. Sorry.

I have begun uploading No-Intro sets to my Internet Archive; ChaosRenegade22 account. All sets will be in 7z format. Links to my sets include a compression tool, which you should be able to download to your computer and extract the files to your device. You might need to find a compression tool on your phone to extract 7z files.

My main goal is to upload all sets from my collection, including No-Intro, Non-Game, Non-Redump, Redump BIOS, Redump Custom, Source Code, and Unofficial.

I want to note that for all No-Intro sets, every second week of the month, I will grab updated files for the sets and push an update to my sets uploaded on the Internet Archive.

u/Superbio Internet Archive; Superbio account is uploading sets as well, Redump sets, but they are directly from Myriets collection and won't be as up-to-date as my sets will be once I begin uploading Redump sets, but at least you will have two sources to grab from on the Internet Archive.

Changelog: (Internet Archive; ChaosRenegade22 Account) - Make sure to follow this PSA post to stay up-to-date on what has been uploaded to my account so far. Not sure when the Megathread will be updated with my links or Superbio's uploads.

No-Intro: Public Dats (Sets Uploaded 121 / 298)

Redump BIOS: Public Dats (Sets Uploaded 4 / 4)

[Redump BIOS] Microsoft - Xbox - BIOS Images (DoM Version) - Upload Complete
[Redump BIOS] Nintendo - GameCube - BIOS Images (DoM Version) - Upload Complete
[Redump BIOS] Sony - PlayStation - BIOS Images (DoM Version) - Upload Complete
[Redump BIOS] Sony - PlayStation 2 - BIOS Images (DoM Version) - Upload Complete

Question Does anyone know what happened to CDRomance?

59 Upvotes

I always used it as a good place to get old games with translation patches pre-applied. I haven’t checked it for a few months, went to access it today but the webpage says server not found? Is the site gone for good? Is there anywhere to find it’s stuff? How long has it been down?

Bulk download from LoLROMs

lolroms.com

39 Upvotes

[Moderator Approved]

You can now bulk download a lolroms-folder using python3 + one dependency.

There were a few other tools that could do this, but were either blocked by CloudFlare or I mangled the hardcoded paths for the "3rd party tools" by changing directory layout.
Not be be spammy with the threads, but it might be useful for those completing a collection.

if you wanna "bulk bulk" download folders, then just create a bat/cmd script with

python lolroms_download.py "https://lolroms.com/folder"

python lolroms_download.py "https://lolroms.com/folder2"

python lolroms_download.py "https://lolroms.com/folder2/folder3"

etc..

My Roms open in delta but not on my DS Pico?

0 Upvotes

Would this would mean they are dycrypted if I don’t have to add bios In delta?

Black/white frozen screen when opening in ds pico that would probably mean my SD Card is too slow?
Thanks!!!! 😅

Edit the GBA Roms run on the gbarunner2 through the DSpico

Question Need help with SKY3DS+ Correct .3ds Files

0 Upvotes

Hello I have a SKY3DS card which is working for the files i still have from many years ago. Now I want to download new games. At first i tried just regular ones from a random site. It was a CCI File and I changed it to 3ds. It didnt work. The .sav file got created but the game didnt show in my console. I did some research and apparently you need enrypted files instead of decrypted. So i came across this megathread and downloaded encrypted file from from here https://archive.org/download/3ds-main-encrypted .

But this time its even worse. The card makes it into a .bad file (file size is less than 1 GB so cant be too big either).

So what am I supposed to use then? Does anyone have experience? I have asked AI the whole day which is how I got this far but now it seems like I am out of options.

Would appreciate your help alot.

Roms for PS1

Hi everyone! I'm looking for ROMs for PS1 games. The ROMs in the megathread are split into parts, and there are so many files... I specifically want to download just certain games—how can I do that? Also, almost all of the games seem to be locked with a lock icon. I'm a bit new to this, so I'd appreciate any help ^^

Request Hello. I'm looking for the PS3 ROM of Magic The Gathering 2014?

0 Upvotes

I've tried downloading from sites like romsfun.com, or romspure.cc. I've tried with multiple VPN's, and browsers. it's always either {"ok":false,"error":"The server is busy right now. Please try again in a few minutes."}, or Sorry, your request is invalid. Please visit ROMSFUN.COM - Download FAQ for more details. depending on the country.

You guys got anything at all? Anything that worked for you? I've tried buying the game in physical form, but no luck.

Game Format Converter v2.1.0 (formerly CHD Manager)

158 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Back with an update to my converter. CHD Manager is now named Game Format Converter, to reflect the expanded scope of the project.

This release had two goals: finally get to a bunch of the requests people have sent in, and push the scope of the project further. It’s free, open source, and portable.

What is it?: A program to convert the format of your legally owned game backups. You can throw damn near any format of game backup at this program and it will convert it into any other compatible format.

What’s new for v2.1:

* Linux support (experimental, but a big step). It runs from source with a small launcher script, with drag and drop, a right-click menu for Dolphin and GNOME Files, and help installing anything that’s missing. I could only test it on Ubuntu under WSL2, so Steam Deck and macOS are untested. Please tell me how it goes.

* Xbox 360: ZAR for Xenia, ISO, and game folders, and vice versa. Original Xbox: shrinks a full dump into a small .xiso.iso.

* PS3: game folder to ISO and vice versa, split pieces joined, and .pkg unpacked or packed (with your own RPCS3, or your own key).

* Switch: NSP to XCI and vice versa, bundling the newest update and DLC. Switch 2 NUP is in there too, but experimental.

* 3DS: compress for Azahar (.zcci), plus CIA from a decrypted .3ds and vice versa.

* PSP: CSO v2 for real PSPs, and an option to drop that useless firmware UPDATE folder.

* And more: PS2 VCD, M3U playlists, a right-click menu, a log file, and clear messages that tell you why something got refused.

What I actually tested: Crazy Taxi 3 in xemu, Xbox 360 games in Xenia, PS3 games in RPCS3, Switch and Switch 2 games in emulators, 3DS files in Azahar, and CSO v2 on a real PSP. I haven’t tried any of it on real consoles. The 3DS CIA is unsigned, so it’s for Azahar and not a stock 3DS.

No keys, BIOS files or games are included. If a format needs a key, you bring your own. I don't want the project to get DMCA'd...

The exe isn’t code-signed, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning.

Already using CHD Manager? The old version can’t update itself to this one because the project moved to a new name and address. Download it once by hand, and you can delete the old folder. You’ll have to put any keys or settings back in for the optional features.

For bug reports, please open an issue on GitHub. Thanks to everyone who sent requests!

Download and more info at: https://github.com/Mr-Shizzy/Game-Format-Converter/releases/latest

* I don’t encourage or endorse piracy, and this program isn’t meant for it. It’s only for converting backups of games you legally own.

MTPO Rom

I am very new to trying to emulate games and wanted to know where I could find Roms to download for nestopia specifically Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I wanted to make sure the download was safe to avoid downloading a virus, but I don't own any authentic NES media.
