Notice

Myrient, likely the best ROM site around with its ~390TB worth of content (almost all No-Intro, Redump, TOSEC sets, MAME software lists, Total DOS collection, DLC, patches and other useful stuff kept up-to-date and conveniently centralised in one place), will be shut down on 31 March 2026 due to the maintainer's inability to cover the rising monetary costs of running the site in the face of dwindling donations, hereby bringing us back into the era of scrambling for games in fragmented manner across dozens of websites, some stuff may even become permanently lost and not available anymore. This is like the burning of the Library of Alexandria, for the emulated games instead of books. Download what you consider important and participate into this Myrient back-up project to contribute as a data hoarder with a lot of archival storage (alt. link 1, alt. link 2), and join the Signal group to share Myrient torrents. ArchiveTeam Warrior is potentially usable as well. Some scraping effort seems to be going on this Telegram channel. Make sure to donate to Myrient despite its imminent shutdown, its maintainer is going to be hit with a huge bill for used download bandwidth used by people making back-ups.

This notice will be removed after the expected shutdown.
