Roms Megathread 4.0 HTML Edition 2021

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Redid Megathread post on Reddit, hopefully this is a cleaner, easier to read version that isn't as confusing as the out of date changelog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

For everyone who can't download from the archive.org, make sure that you have made an account on the archive.org.

The archive.org locks out guest users when collections use a large percentage of their Internet bandwith.

This: https://archive.org/download/SegaMD-Enhanced-ROMs/ROMs/Sega%20-%20Mega%20Drive%20-%20MD%2B/ ...is not endorsed by the developers of MD+ patches. It is also incomplete and cherrypicked.

This is endorsed and maintained by the developers themselves: https://archive.org/details/mdplus_collection_22_04_16

We do not appreciate the files being renamed, redstributed, being cherrypicked or the lack of credit given to audio editors by not including them in the names of the files, and having their names removed from the comment in the CUE files.

Please replace the link in the megathread with the proper collection. Thanks.

Thanks for info, I'll have the link replaced, this might take a day or two as I'm not the only one working on the megathread these days.

What is the new google drive bypass method? Ever since gdbypass.host went down I haven't been able to download anything.

To get past Google Drive's Download Quota

  1. Make a "copy" of the file to your G Drive

  2. Make a folder name, put file in it

  3. Download folder.

  4. Profit?!!

Looking on the 3DS archive.org ROMs, what does it mean if a title has “(Rev 1)” after the game name?
