===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.
:<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>

| 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 & Non-MAME ROMs and wiki remain. There are several other gaming-focused private trackers, but none have open registration.

====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First of all get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/tag/v2.27]. 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.
* '''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:
