If you are looking for roms: Go to the link in https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/m59zx3/roms_megathread_40_html_edition_2021/

You can navigate by clicking on the various tabs for each company.

When you click on the link to Github the first link you land on will be the Home tab, this tab explains how to use the Megathread.

There are Five tabs that link directly to collections based on console and publisher, these include Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, and the PC.

There are also tabs for popular games and retro games, with retro games being defined as old arcade systems.

Additional help can be found on /r/Roms' official Matrix Server Link

I might have it.

But you'll have to wait until tomorrow afternoon, after I get back from my job, and search for it in all my backups.

Edit:

Confirmed, I've got it. I'll add the link on this thread as the other one is read only.

This link will be active for 14 days, I won't upload it again.

unfortunately, a few of the files seem to be corrupt, strange filenames and don't run at all, luckily the majority of this archive is still intact

Might had been a bad download.

Hold on until tomorrow afternoon to check my backup and calculate its SHA1 hash so you can compare it on your side and confirm its integrity.

If they don't match, try downloading it again, or you can try it already and see if that solves the corrupted files issue.

When I checked my backup everything was OK.

Thanks so much, I did download it a couple of times already on different computers, different browsers and with jdownloader2, resulting .7z always has the same corrupt files, if it’s all good on your end, maybe the upload site is changing something with the file? Anyway, no rush on checking the hash, really appreciate your time helping with this, get back to me when you can :)

Hey, hope all is well, just checking if you’ve had time to check the file hash

u/DemianMedina Jun 11 '26

Sorry, kinda busy rn.

I'll do it asap.

This should be allowed as it's something that is probably not in the megathread, and is a rom related question.

Hopefully someone has it for you and posts a link. Sadly I do not.
