===No limitInternet Archive===*The 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)**No Registration Required***[https://archive.org/details/messmame?sort=-publicdate MAME and MESS] sets.***[https://archive.org/details/3DO_2017_Reference_Set_Redump_Validated_ROMs Redump 3DO] set (2017-04-04).***[https://archive.org/details/almstcmpltdrmcst Redump Dreamcast] set (2015-09-20).

===Nintendo Wii U / 3DS===Nintendo delivers used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; the with a big ISO with encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately , they've changed this for them3DS and Switch, these keys are much smaller than the game, and can be passed around easily provided people have broken into the console to get them in the first placebut not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates , and DLCs. Some A notable ones include one is [httphttps://wiiu.titlekeys.gqovh/ this for Wii U keys] and [http://3ds.titlekeys.gq this for 3DS 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.

On real 3DS/Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever of 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. freeShop will just install the 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. Some 3DS dumps also require seeds to play on real hardware.

You can get either 3DS or 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/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/tag/v2.27]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

* '''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.* '''3DS dumps:''' Just "Convert to CIA" when the tool is done downloading it. That CIA file can then be installed to real 3DS hardware directly using [https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases FBI], as long as you have enough free space on your SD card for '''double''' its size (if you are unable to fit this size, you can use freeShop instead; also worth noting you may delete the CIA files once they are done, as they are practically installers), or if you want to emulate them, you can instead prepare the game for emulation via Wii U USB Helper, or follow [https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-installed-titles/ this guide] to convert existing titles on your device and prepare them for emulation.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right -click on a game's name to choose which to download. For 3DS games, they can be converted to CIA files, and for Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

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. Both Mobygames and GameFAQs will list these under the game's release information. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.
