===No limitInternet Archive===*The Internet Archive. Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser, but please keep in mind that this does not work with 7Z archives, only ZIP and RAR. 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 jdownloader2 [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.*:<small>'''''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>)''</small> {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible sortable"|-!Set**No !Date!Registration <br>Required***[https://archive.org/details/xboxcds?sort=!Notes|-publicdate Original Xbox] collection***|[https://archive.org/details/messmame?sort=ni-publicdate MAME and MESSroms NI ROM Sets] sets.***|2024-03-06|No|Huge collection of updated No-Intro ROM Sets.

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. Some A notable ones include one is [httphttps://104titlekeys.129ovh/ titlekeys.56.137/ this for Wii U keysovh]. '''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.

You can get Wii U dumps this way. First of all get the NUS Downloader, for example [httphttps://application.wiiuusbhelpergithub.com/Updater.exe FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/dojafojaXpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/FunKii-UI FunKiilatest WiiUDownloader]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

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:

For PlayStation 3 game updates, go to <code>https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/{game_id}/{game_id}-ver.xml</code> (replacing both <code>{game_id}</code> with the game's 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 a database of PKG files and ISOs for Vita and PSP/PS1 games respectively, all of which can be extracted and played on the usual emulators. ==Nintendo Amiibo==[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games.

A lot of the above sites have ISOs for disc-based games, but some of the more obscure titles can be hard to find.
