| − | ==Searching for ISOs==
| |
| − | A lot of the above sites have ISOs for disc-based games, but some of the more obscure titles can be hard to find. If you want to find these games, searching for their ID number is generally more effective than searching for their title. Both Mobygames and GameFAQs will list these under the game's release information. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.

| − | ==Downloaders==
| |
| − | These can sometimes come in handy when you need download lots of links and you can't be bothered to manually deal with 13 different parts every 20 minutes, they are also sometimes a necessity when you're faced with a .DLC file, you will then need something like JDownloader to download what you're after. Below are just some of the more popular Downloaders.

| − | | |
| − | NOTE: '''DO NOT''' install JDownloader with the web installer, it contains toolbars, adware, malware, etc. Use the offline installers.
