===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 to grab all the [[#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>**No {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible sortable"|-!Set!Date!Registration <br>Required***!Notes|-|[https://archive.org/details/xboxcds?sort=ni-publicdate Original Xbox] collectionroms NI ROM Sets]***[https://archive.org/details/messmame?sort=|2024-03-publicdate MAME 06|No|Huge collection of updated No-Intro ROM Sets.
