ISOs (cartridge based games are fairly easy to find due to their low file size) are frequently missing from the above sites and must be found the old fashioned way.

Searching for ISOs
ISOs (cartridge based games are fairly easy to find due to their low file size) are frequently missing from the above sites and must be found the old fashioned way. 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.
