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 [[#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 Registration Required {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed sortable"

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:

The [http://psndl.net/packages PSNdl] website is a good way to get PlayStation 3 games for example, including PlayStation Classic versions of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 dumps that can be extracted and run on regular emulators. Make sure to get the RAP license as well. The pkg file can be decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] (useful for ripping PlayStation Classics), through though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 CFW supports those as well.

An even newer project is [https://beta.nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation], offering both a database of pkg links and licenses, as well as a Windows downloader and auto-converter: [https://nopaystation.com/vita/npsReleases/ NPS Browser]
