Maycitch:

If you are looking for BIOS/Firmware files, you can find them on the [[Emulator Files]] page. If you're looking specifically at preservation-focused projects (which may host dumped games' checksums only or, occasionally, offer game downloads directly from their websites) instead of just places to get games, visit the [[Preservation projects]] page.

==Downloads==
===Internet Archive===
Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.
:'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy the file name and append it to the end of the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack → https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''

==Official dumps==
===Nintendo Wii U===
Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. A notable one is [https://titlekeys.ovh/ titlekeys.ovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.

On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever releases with all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. [https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli NUSspli] can simply just install the game files and tickets you need for the game you chose.

If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating.

Once you have the titlekey database including your game, you can download the game off the official servers using your tool of choice.

====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/latest WiiUDownloader]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.

Once the download is complete:

* '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right-click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right-click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

To install updates and DLC on Cemu:
* Run the game at least once.
* Check Cemu's log.txt file and look for a line that says "Mounting local storage (AOC): .\mlc01\usr\title\NUMBERS\NUMBERS\aoc\"
* Add (create) folders with the same name as the above (substituting the "NUMBERS" bit with the actual numbers) in your "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title" folder.
* Add any updates (which must be added first) you want to the "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title/NUMBERS/NUMBERS/" folder.
* Create a folder named "aoc" and put the DLC files into there. The "code", "content", and "meta" folders of the actual game itself also go in the "aoc" folder.

===Sony PSP / PS3 / PS Vita===
Similar situation to Nintendo. With PS3 content, you need RAP license files and a proper PKG dump to install your content on RPCS3, or on real hardware with HEN/CFW. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.

[https://nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation] is the most up-to-date repository of PKG download links available for PSP games/DLC/themes (including PSone Classics that can be extracted and run on regular emulators), PS Vita games/DLC/themes, and PS3 games/DLC/themes/avatars (including PS2 Classics) The PKG file can be extracted & decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] or [https://github.com/lusid1/pkg2zip/tree/master pkg2zip], though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 HEN/CFW supports PKG installation as well.

[https://github.com/jdperos/nps_browser NPS Browser] can be paired with NoPayStation databases in order to download PKGs from Windows, with [https://github.com/JK3Y/NPS-Browser-macOS a macOS equivalant] available as well. Linux users can utilize NoPayStation databases with [shell scripts](https://github.com/sigmaboy/nopaystation_scripts). PSNStuffX is another PC downloader tool that can be found with a database, but it won't be as up-to-date versus NoPayStation.

For PS3 & PS4 game updates, you can use the [https://github.com/RainbowCookie32/rusty-psn rusty-psn] application and just search your game's title ID within it in order to see every update available.
PSP & PS3 game updates can also be found by going to <code>https://princess-of-sleeping.github.io/Ps3-HTML-Tools/PS3-and-PSP-Title-Update-Checker/index.html</code> and type in your game's title ID to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.

[https://github.com/blastrock/pkgj PKGj] for the PlayStation Vita can be downloaded from within VitaDeploy and comes with NoPayStation databases with PKG files for PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 games respectively, all of which can be extracted and decrypted to be played on the usual emulators.

[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.]

* [https://mega.nz/#F!Ek8BCCqD!ggJQ4SVOtfTR74ohXvn-Ng Here's the most complete Amiibo set]

The .bin files can also be [https://hax0kartik.github.io/amiibo-generator/ generated on this site] as all they contain is an ID number.

==Verifying good dumps==

==Game recommendations==
Game recommendations are highly subjective, but big lists usually cover the worthwhile games for each system.
{{Main|List of notable ports}}

==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. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.

==Download managers==
Many resources we've listed will link to files called .DLCs that contain a list of urls to download. We've voluntarily listed some programs you can use in the event that you come across one and don't want to deal with the links manually.

*[http://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 JDownloader 2] (Adware-free installer) - Written in Java, and quite possibly the most recognized tool for the job.
*[https://pyload.net/ pyLoad] - Written in Python under AGPL3, PyLoad is a good alternative.
*[https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive Internet Archive Python Library] - Archive.org specific command-line download tool.
*[https://github.com/silverlays/NoIntro-Roms-Downloader NoIntro Roms Downloader v2] - Download "datted" ROMs from the popular NoIntro libraries on archive.org (listing live updated) with user-friendly interface (only Windows release for now)

==Bypassing copy protection==

NoCD and NoDVD cracked executables.

Maycitch:

If you are looking for BIOS/Firmware files, you can find them on the [[Emulator Files]] page. If you're looking specifically at preservation-focused projects (which may host dumped games' checksums only or, occasionally, offer game downloads directly from their websites) instead of just places to get games, visit the [[Preservation projects]] page.

==Downloads==
===Internet Archive===
Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.
:'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy the file name and append it to the end of the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack → https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''

| Was once a great private tracker for getting full sets of many systems (MAME, No-Intro, GoodSets, Trurip, Redump, TOSEC) as well as miscellaneous content like video game magazines and [[Daphne]] laserdisc rips that were almost impossible to find elsewhere. Did not allow newer systems, and was a strict ratio site that required you to maintain a positive upload to download ratio. In 2021 the tracker and forum were permanently closed, and only the MAME & other arcade ROMs and wiki remain. There are several other gaming-focused private trackers, but none have open registration.

==Official dumps==
===Nintendo Wii U===
Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. A notable one is [https://titlekeys.ovh/ titlekeys.ovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.

On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever releases with all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. [https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli NUSspli] can simply just install the game files and tickets you need for the game you chose.

If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating.

Once you have the titlekey database including your game, you can download the game off the official servers using your tool of choice.

====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/latest WiiUDownloader]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.

Once the download is complete:

* '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right-click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right-click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

To install updates and DLC on Cemu:
* Run the game at least once.
* Check Cemu's log.txt file and look for a line that says "Mounting local storage (AOC): .\mlc01\usr\title\NUMBERS\NUMBERS\aoc\"
* Add (create) folders with the same name as the above (substituting the "NUMBERS" bit with the actual numbers) in your "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title" folder.
* Add any updates (which must be added first) you want to the "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title/NUMBERS/NUMBERS/" folder.
* Create a folder named "aoc" and put the DLC files into there. The "code", "content", and "meta" folders of the actual game itself also go in the "aoc" folder.

===Sony PSP / PS3 / PS Vita===
Similar situation to Nintendo. With PS3 content, you need RAP license files and a proper PKG dump to install your content on RPCS3, or on real hardware with HEN/CFW. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.

[https://nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation] is the most up-to-date repository of PKG download links available for PSP games/DLC/themes (including PSone Classics that can be extracted and run on regular emulators), PS Vita games/DLC/themes, and PS3 games/DLC/themes/avatars (including PS2 Classics) The PKG file can be extracted & decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] or [https://github.com/lusid1/pkg2zip/tree/master pkg2zip], though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 HEN/CFW supports PKG installation as well.

[https://github.com/jdperos/nps_browser NPS Browser] can be paired with NoPayStation databases in order to download PKGs from Windows, with [https://github.com/JK3Y/NPS-Browser-macOS a macOS equivalant] available as well. Linux users can utilize NoPayStation databases with [shell scripts](https://github.com/sigmaboy/nopaystation_scripts). PSNStuffX is another PC downloader tool that can be found with a database, but it won't be as up-to-date versus NoPayStation.

For PS3 & PS4 game updates, you can use the [https://github.com/RainbowCookie32/rusty-psn rusty-psn] application and just search your game's title ID within it in order to see every update available.
PSP & PS3 game updates can also be found by going to <code>https://princess-of-sleeping.github.io/Ps3-HTML-Tools/PS3-and-PSP-Title-Update-Checker/index.html</code> and type in your game's title ID to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.

[https://github.com/blastrock/pkgj PKGj] for the PlayStation Vita can be downloaded from within VitaDeploy and comes with NoPayStation databases with PKG files for PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 games respectively, all of which can be extracted and decrypted to be played on the usual emulators.

PKGi can also be used on the [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3 PlayStation 3] and [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-psp PlayStation Portable] in order to download PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS Vita PKGs on their respective platforms.

==Nintendo Amiibo==
[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.]

* [https://mega.nz/#F!Ek8BCCqD!ggJQ4SVOtfTR74ohXvn-Ng Here's the most complete Amiibo set]

The .bin files can also be [https://hax0kartik.github.io/amiibo-generator/ generated on this site] as all they contain is an ID number.

==Verifying good dumps==
{{Main|File Hashes#Determining Good Game Dumps}}

==Game recommendations==
Game recommendations are highly subjective, but big lists usually cover the worthwhile games for each system.
{{Main|List of notable ports}}

==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. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.

==Download managers==
Many resources we've listed will link to files called .DLCs that contain a list of urls to download. We've voluntarily listed some programs you can use in the event that you come across one and don't want to deal with the links manually.

*[http://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 JDownloader 2] (Adware-free installer) - Written in Java, and quite possibly the most recognized tool for the job.
*[https://pyload.net/ pyLoad] - Written in Python under AGPL3, PyLoad is a good alternative.
*[https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive Internet Archive Python Library] - Archive.org specific command-line download tool.
*[https://github.com/silverlays/NoIntro-Roms-Downloader NoIntro Roms Downloader v2] - Download "datted" ROMs from the popular NoIntro libraries on archive.org (listing live updated) with user-friendly interface (only Windows release for now)

==Bypassing copy protection==
{{main|Copy protection}}
NoCD and NoDVD cracked executables.
*[https://www.gameburnworld.com/ gameburnworld.com]
*[https://gamecopyworld.com gamecopyworld.com] '''(Warning: This site has NSFW Content.)'''

==Trainers==
*[https://mrantifun.net/threads/list-of-all-trainers.503/ mrantifun: list of all trainers]

==See also==
*[[Ripping games]] - If you don't feel comfortable downloading ROMs you can try dumping the game yourself.

Maycitch:

If you are looking for BIOS/Firmware files, you can find them on the [[Emulator Files]] page. If you're looking specifically at preservation-focused projects (which may host dumped games' checksums only or, occasionally, offer game downloads directly from their websites) instead of just places to get games, visit the [[Preservation projects]] page.

==Downloads==
===Internet Archive===
Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.
:'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy the file name and append it to the end of the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack → https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''

| Was once a great private tracker for getting full sets of many systems (MAME, No-Intro, GoodSets, Trurip, Redump, TOSEC) as well as miscellaneous content like video game magazines and [[Daphne]] laserdisc rips that were almost impossible to find elsewhere. Did not allow newer systems, and was a strict ratio site that required you to maintain a positive upload to download ratio. In 2021 the tracker and forum were permanently closed, and only the MAME & other arcade ROMs and wiki remain. There are several other gaming-focused private trackers, but none have open registration.

==Official dumps==
===Nintendo Wii U===
Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. A notable one is [https://titlekeys.ovh/ titlekeys.ovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.

On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever releases with all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. [https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli NUSspli] can simply just install the game files and tickets you need for the game you chose.

If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating.

Once you have the titlekey database including your game, you can download the game off the official servers using your tool of choice.

====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/latest WiiUDownloader]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.

Once the download is complete:

* '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right-click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right-click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

To install updates and DLC on Cemu:
* Run the game at least once.
* Check Cemu's log.txt file and look for a line that says "Mounting local storage (AOC): .\mlc01\usr\title\NUMBERS\NUMBERS\aoc\"
* Add (create) folders with the same name as the above (substituting the "NUMBERS" bit with the actual numbers) in your "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title" folder.
* Add any updates (which must be added first) you want to the "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title/NUMBERS/NUMBERS/" folder.
* Create a folder named "aoc" and put the DLC files into there. The "code", "content", and "meta" folders of the actual game itself also go in the "aoc" folder.

===Sony PSP / PS3 / PS Vita===
Similar situation to Nintendo. With PS3 content, you need RAP license files and a proper PKG dump to install your content on RPCS3, or on real hardware with HEN/CFW. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.

[https://nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation] is the most up-to-date repository of PKG download links available for PSP games/DLC/themes (including PSone Classics that can be extracted and run on regular emulators), PS Vita games/DLC/themes, and PS3 games/DLC/themes/avatars (including PS2 Classics) The PKG file can be extracted & decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] or [https://github.com/lusid1/pkg2zip/tree/master pkg2zip], though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 HEN/CFW supports PKG installation as well.

[https://github.com/jdperos/nps_browser NPS Browser] can be paired with NoPayStation databases in order to download PKGs from Windows, with [https://github.com/JK3Y/NPS-Browser-macOS a macOS equivalant] available as well. Linux users can utilize NoPayStation databases with [shell scripts](https://github.com/sigmaboy/nopaystation_scripts). PSNStuffX is another PC downloader tool that can be found with a database, but it won't be as up-to-date versus NoPayStation.

For PS3 & PS4 game updates, you can use the [https://github.com/RainbowCookie32/rusty-psn rusty-psn] application and just search your game's title ID within it in order to see every update available.
PSP & PS3 game updates can also be found by going to <code>https://princess-of-sleeping.github.io/Ps3-HTML-Tools/PS3-and-PSP-Title-Update-Checker/index.html</code> and type in your game's title ID to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.

[https://github.com/blastrock/pkgj PKGj] for the PlayStation Vita can be downloaded from within VitaDeploy and comes with NoPayStation databases with PKG files for PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 games respectively, all of which can be extracted and decrypted to be played on the usual emulators.

PKGi can also be used on the [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3 PlayStation 3] and [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-psp PlayStation Portable] in order to download PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS Vita PKGs on their respective platforms.

==Nintendo Amiibo==
[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.]

* [https://mega.nz/#F!Ek8BCCqD!ggJQ4SVOtfTR74ohXvn-Ng Here's the most complete Amiibo set]

The .bin files can also be [https://hax0kartik.github.io/amiibo-generator/ generated on this site] as all they contain is an ID number.

==Verifying good dumps==
{{Main|File Hashes#Determining Good Game Dumps}}

==Game recommendations==
Game recommendations are highly subjective, but big lists usually cover the worthwhile games for each system.
{{Main|List of notable ports}}

==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. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.

==Download managers==
Many resources we've listed will link to files called .DLCs that contain a list of urls to download. We've voluntarily listed some programs you can use in the event that you come across one and don't want to deal with the links manually.

*[http://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 JDownloader 2] (Adware-free installer) - Written in Java, and quite possibly the most recognized tool for the job.
*[https://pyload.net/ pyLoad] - Written in Python under AGPL3, PyLoad is a good alternative.
*[https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive Internet Archive Python Library] - Archive.org specific command-line download tool.
*[https://github.com/silverlays/NoIntro-Roms-Downloader NoIntro Roms Downloader v2] - Download "datted" ROMs from the popular NoIntro libraries on archive.org (listing live updated) with user-friendly interface (only Windows release for now)

==Bypassing copy protection==
{{main|Copy protection}}
NoCD and NoDVD cracked executables.
*[https://www.gameburnworld.com/ gameburnworld.com]
*[https://gamecopyworld.com gamecopyworld.com]

==Trainers==
*[https://mrantifun.net/threads/list-of-all-trainers.503/ mrantifun: list of all trainers]

If you are looking for BIOS/Firmware files, you can find them on the [[Emulator Files]] page. If you're looking specifically at preservation-focused projects (which may host dumped games' checksums only or, occasionally, offer game downloads directly from their websites) instead of just places to get games, visit the [[Preservation projects]] page.

==Downloads==
===Internet Archive===
Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.
:'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy the file name and append it to the end of the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack → https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''

| Was once a great private tracker for getting full sets of many systems (MAME, No-Intro, GoodSets, Trurip, Redump, TOSEC) as well as miscellaneous content like video game magazines and [[Daphne]] laserdisc rips that were almost impossible to find elsewhere. Did not allow newer systems, and was a strict ratio site that required you to maintain a positive upload to download ratio. In 2021 the tracker and forum were permanently closed, and only the MAME & other arcade ROMs and wiki remain. There are several other gaming-focused private trackers, but none have open registration.

==Official dumps==
===Nintendo Wii U===
Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. A notable one is [https://titlekeys.ovh/ titlekeys.ovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.

On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever releases with all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. [https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli NUSspli] can simply just install the game files and tickets you need for the game you chose.

If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating.

Once you have the titlekey database including your game, you can download the game off the official servers using your tool of choice.

====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/latest WiiUDownloader]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.

Once the download is complete:

* '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right-click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right-click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

To install updates and DLC on Cemu:
* Run the game at least once.
* Check Cemu's log.txt file and look for a line that says "Mounting local storage (AOC): .\mlc01\usr\title\NUMBERS\NUMBERS\aoc\"
* Add (create) folders with the same name as the above (substituting the "NUMBERS" bit with the actual numbers) in your "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title" folder.
* Add any updates (which must be added first) you want to the "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title/NUMBERS/NUMBERS/" folder.
* Create a folder named "aoc" and put the DLC files into there. The "code", "content", and "meta" folders of the actual game itself also go in the "aoc" folder.

===Sony PSP / PS3 / PS Vita===
Similar situation to Nintendo. With PS3 content, you need RAP license files and a proper PKG dump to install your content on RPCS3, or on real hardware with HEN/CFW. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.

[https://nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation] is the most up-to-date repository of PKG download links available for PSP games/DLC/themes (including PSone Classics that can be extracted and run on regular emulators), PS Vita games/DLC/themes, and PS3 games/DLC/themes/avatars (including PS2 Classics) The PKG file can be extracted & decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] or [https://github.com/lusid1/pkg2zip/tree/master pkg2zip], though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 HEN/CFW supports PKG installation as well.

[https://github.com/jdperos/nps_browser NPS Browser] can be paired with NoPayStation databases in order to download PKGs from Windows, with [https://github.com/JK3Y/NPS-Browser-macOS a macOS equivalant] available as well. Linux users can utilize NoPayStation databases with [shell scripts](https://github.com/sigmaboy/nopaystation_scripts). PSNStuffX is another PC downloader tool that can be found with a database, but it won't be as up-to-date versus NoPayStation.

For PS3 & PS4 game updates, you can use the [https://github.com/RainbowCookie32/rusty-psn rusty-psn] application and just search your game's title ID within it in order to see every update available.
PSP & PS3 game updates can also be found by going to <code>https://princess-of-sleeping.github.io/Ps3-HTML-Tools/PS3-and-PSP-Title-Update-Checker/index.html</code> and type in your game's title ID to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.

[https://github.com/blastrock/pkgj PKGj] for the PlayStation Vita can be downloaded from within VitaDeploy and comes with NoPayStation databases with PKG files for PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 games respectively, all of which can be extracted and decrypted to be played on the usual emulators.

PKGi can also be used on the [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3 PlayStation 3] and [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-psp PlayStation Portable] in order to download PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS Vita PKGs on their respective platforms.

==Nintendo Amiibo==
[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.]

* [https://mega.nz/#F!Ek8BCCqD!ggJQ4SVOtfTR74ohXvn-Ng Here's the most complete Amiibo set]

The .bin files can also be [https://hax0kartik.github.io/amiibo-generator/ generated on this site] as all they contain is an ID number.

==Verifying good dumps==
{{Main|File Hashes#Determining Good Game Dumps}}

==Game recommendations==
Game recommendations are highly subjective, but big lists usually cover the worthwhile games for each system.
{{Main|List of notable ports}}

==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. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.

==Download managers==
Many resources we've listed will link to files called .DLCs that contain a list of urls to download. We've voluntarily listed some programs you can use in the event that you come across one and don't want to deal with the links manually.

*[http://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 JDownloader 2] (Adware-free installer) - Written in Java, and quite possibly the most recognized tool for the job.
*[https://pyload.net/ pyLoad] - Written in Python under AGPL3, PyLoad is a good alternative.
*[https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive Internet Archive Python Library] - Archive.org specific command-line download tool.
*[https://github.com/silverlays/NoIntro-Roms-Downloader NoIntro Roms Downloader v2] - Download "datted" ROMs from the popular NoIntro libraries on archive.org (listing live updated) with user-friendly interface (only Windows release for now)

==Bypassing copy protection==
{{main|Copy protection}}
NoCD and NoDVD cracked executables.
*[https://www.gameburnworld.com/ gameburnworld.com]
*[https://gamecopyworld.com gamecopyworld.com]

==Trainers==
*[https://mrantifun.net/threads/list-of-all-trainers.503/ mrantifun: list of all trainers]

*[[Ripping games]] - If you don't feel comfortable downloading ROMs you can try dumping the game yourself.

ROM & ISO sites

Maycitch: Why do we need a Myrient section, if this already shut down?

If you are looking for BIOS/Firmware files, you can find them on the [[Emulator Files]] page. If you're looking specifically at preservation-focused projects (which may host dumped games' checksums only or, occasionally, offer game downloads directly from their websites) instead of just places to get games, visit the [[Preservation projects]] page.

==Downloads==
===Internet Archive===
Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.
:'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy the file name and append it to the end of the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack → https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''

==Official dumps==
===Nintendo Wii U===
Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. A notable one is [https://titlekeys.ovh/ titlekeys.ovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.

On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever releases with all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. [https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli NUSspli] can simply just install the game files and tickets you need for the game you chose.

If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating.

Once you have the titlekey database including your game, you can download the game off the official servers using your tool of choice.

====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/latest WiiUDownloader]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.

Once the download is complete:

* '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right-click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right-click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

To install updates and DLC on Cemu:
* Run the game at least once.
* Check Cemu's log.txt file and look for a line that says "Mounting local storage (AOC): .\mlc01\usr\title\NUMBERS\NUMBERS\aoc\"
* Add (create) folders with the same name as the above (substituting the "NUMBERS" bit with the actual numbers) in your "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title" folder.
* Add any updates (which must be added first) you want to the "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title/NUMBERS/NUMBERS/" folder.
* Create a folder named "aoc" and put the DLC files into there. The "code", "content", and "meta" folders of the actual game itself also go in the "aoc" folder.

===Sony PSP / PS3 / PS Vita===
Similar situation to Nintendo. With PS3 content, you need RAP license files and a proper PKG dump to install your content on RPCS3, or on real hardware with HEN/CFW. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.

[https://nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation] is the most up-to-date repository of PKG download links available for PSP games/DLC/themes (including PSone Classics that can be extracted and run on regular emulators), PS Vita games/DLC/themes, and PS3 games/DLC/themes/avatars (including PS2 Classics) The PKG file can be extracted & decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] or [https://github.com/lusid1/pkg2zip/tree/master pkg2zip], though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 HEN/CFW supports PKG installation as well.

[https://github.com/jdperos/nps_browser NPS Browser] can be paired with NoPayStation databases in order to download PKGs from Windows, with [https://github.com/JK3Y/NPS-Browser-macOS a macOS equivalant] available as well. Linux users can utilize NoPayStation databases with [shell scripts](https://github.com/sigmaboy/nopaystation_scripts). PSNStuffX is another PC downloader tool that can be found with a database, but it won't be as up-to-date versus NoPayStation.

For PS3 & PS4 game updates, you can use the [https://github.com/RainbowCookie32/rusty-psn rusty-psn] application and just search your game's title ID within it in order to see every update available.
PSP & PS3 game updates can also be found by going to <code>https://princess-of-sleeping.github.io/Ps3-HTML-Tools/PS3-and-PSP-Title-Update-Checker/index.html</code> and type in your game's title ID to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.

[https://github.com/blastrock/pkgj PKGj] for the PlayStation Vita can be downloaded from within VitaDeploy and comes with NoPayStation databases with PKG files for PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 games respectively, all of which can be extracted and decrypted to be played on the usual emulators.

PKGi can also be used on the [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3 PlayStation 3] and [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-psp PlayStation Portable] in order to download PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS Vita PKGs on their respective platforms.

==Nintendo Amiibo==
[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.]

* [https://mega.nz/#F!Ek8BCCqD!ggJQ4SVOtfTR74ohXvn-Ng Here's the most complete Amiibo set]

The .bin files can also be [https://hax0kartik.github.io/amiibo-generator/ generated on this site] as all they contain is an ID number.

==Verifying good dumps==
{{Main|File Hashes#Determining Good Game Dumps}}

==Game recommendations==
Game recommendations are highly subjective, but big lists usually cover the worthwhile games for each system.
{{Main|List of notable ports}}

==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. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.

==Download managers==
Many resources we've listed will link to files called .DLCs that contain a list of urls to download. We've voluntarily listed some programs you can use in the event that you come across one and don't want to deal with the links manually.

*[http://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 JDownloader 2] (Adware-free installer) - Written in Java, and quite possibly the most recognized tool for the job.
*[https://pyload.net/ pyLoad] - Written in Python under AGPL3, PyLoad is a good alternative.
*[https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive Internet Archive Python Library] - Archive.org specific command-line download tool.
*[https://github.com/silverlays/NoIntro-Roms-Downloader NoIntro Roms Downloader v2] - Download "datted" ROMs from the popular NoIntro libraries on archive.org (listing live updated) with user-friendly interface (only Windows release for now)

==Bypassing copy protection==
{{main|Copy protection}}
NoCD and NoDVD cracked executables.

If you are looking for BIOS/Firmware files, you can find them on the [[Emulator Files]] page. If you're looking specifically at preservation-focused projects (which may host dumped games' checksums only or, occasionally, offer game downloads directly from their websites) instead of just places to get games, visit the [[Preservation projects]] page.

==Downloads==
===Internet Archive===
Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.
:'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy the file name and append it to the end of the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack → https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''

==Official dumps==
===Nintendo Wii U===
Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. A notable one is [https://titlekeys.ovh/ titlekeys.ovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.

On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever releases with all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. [https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli NUSspli] can simply just install the game files and tickets you need for the game you chose.

If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating.

Once you have the titlekey database including your game, you can download the game off the official servers using your tool of choice.

====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/latest WiiUDownloader]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.

Once the download is complete:

* '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right-click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right-click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

To install updates and DLC on Cemu:
* Run the game at least once.
* Check Cemu's log.txt file and look for a line that says "Mounting local storage (AOC): .\mlc01\usr\title\NUMBERS\NUMBERS\aoc\"
* Add (create) folders with the same name as the above (substituting the "NUMBERS" bit with the actual numbers) in your "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title" folder.
* Add any updates (which must be added first) you want to the "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title/NUMBERS/NUMBERS/" folder.
* Create a folder named "aoc" and put the DLC files into there. The "code", "content", and "meta" folders of the actual game itself also go in the "aoc" folder.

===Sony PSP / PS3 / PS Vita===
Similar situation to Nintendo. With PS3 content, you need RAP license files and a proper PKG dump to install your content on RPCS3, or on real hardware with HEN/CFW. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.

[https://nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation] is the most up-to-date repository of PKG download links available for PSP games/DLC/themes (including PSone Classics that can be extracted and run on regular emulators), PS Vita games/DLC/themes, and PS3 games/DLC/themes/avatars (including PS2 Classics) The PKG file can be extracted & decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] or [https://github.com/lusid1/pkg2zip/tree/master pkg2zip], though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 HEN/CFW supports PKG installation as well.

[https://github.com/jdperos/nps_browser NPS Browser] can be paired with NoPayStation databases in order to download PKGs from Windows, with [https://github.com/JK3Y/NPS-Browser-macOS a macOS equivalant] available as well. Linux users can utilize NoPayStation databases with [shell scripts](https://github.com/sigmaboy/nopaystation_scripts). PSNStuffX is another PC downloader tool that can be found with a database, but it won't be as up-to-date versus NoPayStation.

For PS3 & PS4 game updates, you can use the [https://github.com/RainbowCookie32/rusty-psn rusty-psn] application and just search your game's title ID within it in order to see every update available.
PSP & PS3 game updates can also be found by going to <code>https://princess-of-sleeping.github.io/Ps3-HTML-Tools/PS3-and-PSP-Title-Update-Checker/index.html</code> and type in your game's title ID to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.

[https://github.com/blastrock/pkgj PKGj] for the PlayStation Vita can be downloaded from within VitaDeploy and comes with NoPayStation databases with PKG files for PS Vita, PSP, and PS1 games respectively, all of which can be extracted and decrypted to be played on the usual emulators.

PKGi can also be used on the [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3 PlayStation 3] and [https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-psp PlayStation Portable] in order to download PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS Vita PKGs on their respective platforms.

==Nintendo Amiibo==
[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.]

* [https://mega.nz/#F!Ek8BCCqD!ggJQ4SVOtfTR74ohXvn-Ng Here's the most complete Amiibo set]

The .bin files can also be [https://hax0kartik.github.io/amiibo-generator/ generated on this site] as all they contain is an ID number.

==Game recommendations==

==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. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.

Texture packs

2026-02-10T12:49:29Z

Maycitch:

For when original low-res sprites or ugly muddy pixellated textures don't cut it anymore, there are some emulators which allow for texture replacement - so that you can play your old games with shiny HD/4K textures to go with HD rendering. It's nice to play more of the retro games in the style of Super Mario All-Stars, the Ducktales remaster, or the N64 Zelda remakes.

Only problem: It's not as widely supported among emulators. This may be slowly changing, though. You'll need to get (or make) a texture pack in addition to the ROM. Goes without saying the game logic won't be altered. Also, this doesn't actually change the data inside the ROM proper, making this enhancement emulator-specific.

Currently, 2D sprite replacements are not as popular, so much of what's available among replacement packs are quite bland in the same fashion as Final Fantasy 6's iOS "remake" or RPG Maker stuff, but they're meant to be a proof-of-concept, no more. As of 2018, 2D sprite replacements have improved in quality with the release of several excellent 8-bit to 16-bit packs for NES.

==Sprite Replacement (2D)==

===NES===
* [[Mesen]] has support for HDNes HD packs and has made several improvements to it. Also includes [https://www.mesen.ca/docs/hdpacks.html#using-the-hd-pack-builder HD Pack Builder] that can be used to create new HD packs. Most newer packs only work on Mesen and not on HDNes.
* [[HDNes]] an emulator that allows you to overlay custom sprites at 4X resolution over in-game NES sprites. These custom sprites are in true color without any of the palette restrictions inherent to the NES (alpha + 3 colors picked from around 50 possible colors). It can also do music replacement.

==Texture Replacement (3D)==
;[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sif8FeRGJRbytK8wFRXgF6Hke9V6GUFs/edit?gid=19568508#gid=19568508 HD Packs Complete List Spreadsheet]

Texture replacement for 3D systems is a broad enhancement feature in emulators that allows original game textures to be dumped, modified, and replaced with higher-quality or stylistically altered assets. While basic texture replacement is common, the overall scope and effectiveness of this feature depends on the range of supported subfeatures.

;Texture dumping and loading
Core functionality typically includes:
* Dumping original textures for editing
* Loading custom replacement textures
* Optional dumping of mipmaps
* Optional dumping of video or FMV-related textures

These features form the foundation of texture pack creation and enable visual upgrades to 3D environments, models, and effects.

;Texture loading behavior and performance
To reduce stutter and improve runtime performance, texture replacement systems may include:
* Asynchronous texture loading
* Preloading or precaching of replacement textures
* Texture caching mechanisms

These options are especially important for large texture packs and high-resolution replacements.

;Texture tracking and cache control
Advanced systems may track texture uploads more aggressively in order to:
* Ensure consistent replacement of dynamically reused textures
* Avoid cache invalidation issues
* Improve reliability of replacements in complex rendering scenarios

Tracking can also allow dumping of textures after replacement, aiding debugging and refinement.

;VRAM write dumping and replacement
Some texture replacement systems operate at the VRAM write level rather than only at the texture upload level. This allows dumping and replacing:
* User interface elements
* Menus and HUD graphics
* Fonts and text glyphs
* 2D elements rendered directly into VRAM

Additional controls may include:
* Filtering dumped VRAM writes by size
* Adjusting alpha channel handling
* Selectively dumping only replaceable VRAM writes

VRAM write replacement greatly expands the range of assets that can be modified compared to traditional texture replacement alone.

;Framebuffer and render target dumping
Support for dumping framebuffer or render-to-texture targets allows replacement or enhancement of:
* Post-processing effects
* Rendered UI elements
* Special effects that are not stored as standard textures

This enables texture replacement to affect assets generated at runtime rather than only static resources.

;Texture replacement scope limitations
Without additional supporting systems, texture replacement is often limited by:
* One-to-one hash-based matching
* Redundant texture hashes for visually identical assets
* Difficulty maintaining large texture packs

These limitations can prevent consistent replacement of menus, fonts, title screens, briefings, and other presentation elements.

;Enhancement subfeatures for comprehensive overhauls
To enable large-scale, maintainable texture packs, additional subfeatures may be required:
* '''Wildcard or pattern-based matching''' to apply a single replacement across multiple related textures
* '''Texture manifests or mapping rules''' to explicitly control replacement behavior
* '''Hash reduction or normalization''' to group equivalent textures under a shared identifier
* '''Texture grouping or categorization''' to organize assets such as UI, fonts, HUD, and in-game graphics

When these subfeatures are present, texture replacement can expand beyond simple visual upgrades and support full presentation overhauls, including menus, briefings, title screens, fonts, and overlays.

;Emulators support
While many popular and recommended emulators advertise support for texture replacement, the actual feature set varies significantly between implementations. In practice, most emulators only support a subset of the texture replacement capabilities described above. At a minimum, texture replacement typically includes dumping original textures and loading custom replacements using hash-based matching. However, advanced aspects—such as asynchronous loading, aggressive texture tracking, VRAM write replacement, framebuffer dumping, or pattern-based matching—are often missing, incomplete, or experimental.

Because of these limitations:
* Texture replacement is frequently restricted to static 3D textures.
* UI elements, fonts, menus, and runtime-generated visuals may not be consistently replaceable.
* Large texture packs can suffer from performance issues, redundancy, or maintenance difficulties.
* Identical or reused textures may require multiple replacements due to strict one-to-one hash matching.

===Nintendo Switch===
* [[Ryujinx]] has a LayeredFS mod system which is found under "Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Ryujinx\mods\contents\" followed by the game's ID. This folder can be accessed directly by right-clicking the game title and selecting "Open Mods Directory". Texture packs can be placed in this folder.
* [[Yuzu]] has a very similar LayeredFS mod system which is found under "Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\yuzu\load".

===Nintendo 64===
* [[Project64]] - You will need a plugin such as Glide64, Rice, or GLideN64 to replace textures. GLideN64 is the only plugin that can do [[Widescreen_Hack|widescreen hacks]] and custom textures at the same time, though it has a high system requirement.
* [[Mupen64Plus]] (standalone PC version) - Both Glide64 (and GLideN64) and Rice plugins support texture replacements, though not enabled by default. To enable the custom textures, change "LoadHiResTextures" to true and "ghq_hirs" to 1 in your mupen64plus.cfg. Note that the custom texture-related features are removed from the RetroArch port of Mupen64Plus. Custom texture folder location:
: Windows XP and older: <pre>C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mupen64Plus\hires_texture</pre>
: Windows Vista and newer: <pre>C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Mupen64Plus\hires_texture</pre>
: Mac, Linux, and others: <pre>~/.local/share/mupen64plus/hires_texture</pre>

* [[Mupen64Plus|Mupen64Plus AE]] - This Android fork of Mupen64 also has texture replacement, but only on Rice plugin. The setting file does have "ghq_hirs" for Glide64, but changing it to 1 has no noticeable effect. Custom texture folder location:
: Google Play Free Version: <pre>/sdcard/Android/data/paulscode.android.mupen64plus.free/data/hires_texture</pre>
: Google Play Donate Version: <pre>/sdcard/Android/data/paulscode.android.mupen64plus/data/hires_texture</pre>

===GameCube/Wii===
[[File:WW_HD_HUD_Kilt.png|thumb|352px|Example of WW HD UI]]
* [[Dolphin]] has a game-specific directory somewhere under "Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures" with your game's ID (check the ISO properties to what it is) where you can put your custom sprites. Under "Graphics", go to the "Advanced" tab and enable "Load Custom Texture", then set "Texture Cache Accuracy" to "Safe". While running, it will replace that texture when the game loads it with the image files under that directory. Texture packs for Dolphin come as tons of image files to put in that directory.

* [[PPSSPP]] has a game-specific directory under "user\Documents\PPSSPP\PSP\TEXTURES" with your game's ID (check the ISO properties to what it is) where you can install texture packs. Under "Tools", go to the "Developer Tools" and enable "Replace Textures". PPSSPP texture packs consist of textures in .png format, and a textures.ini file.
