+ | *[https://pastebin.com/79q1mdZm AlvRo's Collection] A collection of many consoles, which contains Xbox/Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and many other retro consoles. Runs on 1fichier, any passwords that are needed are always '''ByAlvRo'''. | ||
+ | *[https://romtohome.com/ RomToHome] ~50kB/s downloads, but has proper scene releases for a variety of consoles including (but not limited to) Wii U, Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo 3DS, DS and PlayStation Portable. | ||
+ | *[https://retrozone.co/ Retro Zone] Many systems and PC. Successor to the now defunct ISO Zone (even recovering the links from it). The filehost it uses for most TiZ-recovered links (firedrop.com), not only maxes out at ~500kb/s download speed and has a 4gb per day limit but it can also rate limit you to 200kb/s "due to heavy daily usage". However, with the addition of no filehosting limits and allowing to add mirrors, mirrors for some Firedrop-uploaded files as well as most new uploaded files can use another option. | ||
+ | *[http://www.k73.com/ k73] A Chinese site that relies on baidu as a hosting service. Whenever prompted to install an external application (really persistent malware), always refuse since most if not all links are not premium. Has lots of Chinese fan-translations as well as Japanese games on newer consoles not usually uploaded, and more importantly latest gen dumps. | ||
+ | *[https://8ch.net/1cc/index.html /1cc/] imageboard, good for the latest arcade releases (from recent machines no less) but links don't stay up for too long. | ||
+ | *[http://romhustler.net/ ROM Hustler] Has Renascene PlayStation Portable dumps. Has a good selection of games from all consoles Gen-6 and earlier. Limited to one download at a time; additional attempts "503" while a download is active. | ||

− | + | *[http://www.romulation.net Romulation] Useful for Wii, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2 etc, maybe no-intro rips. (account required - use bugmenot or make one with a temp email account) (Many games (including most Nintendo titles) have been DMCA'd as of January 2017) | |
− | + | *[http://www.pleasuredome.org.uk Pleasuredome] Great private tracker for getting full sets of many systems (No-Intro, Goodsets, Trurip, Redump, TOSEC). Does not allow newer systems. Strict ratio site that requires you to maintain a positive upload to download ratio. No longer hosts Nintendo game torrents. | |
