→Different formatting?
Can't get https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/{game_id}/{game_id}-ver.xml game update url to work. Any other alternatives?

Nah.
== Why 2 pages? ==
Why are there two pages for ROM and ISO sites? (Example this one doesn't have emuparadise and the other one does.) --[[User:LilShootDawg|The man formerly known as LilShootDawg]] ([[User talk:LilShootDawg|talk]]) 07:50, 23 August 2018 (EDT)

There seems to be a lot of links, do you think it would be better to start using a table format or would that be too difficult/useless?
I was thinking maybe something like this:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
! URL
! Platform(s)
! Notes
|-
| [http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html Atarimania]
| Atari 2600
| Contains a complete Atari 2600 ROM set.
|-
| [https://www.gamulator.com/ Gamulator]
| Retro
| Small website where you can download all sort of retro console ROM's and ISO's.
|-
| [https://www.pokemonlog.com/ Pokemonlog]
| Pokemon ROMs & ROM Hacks

It's debatable if a "platforms" category would be necessary as a lot of the times sites contain a variety of platforms and usually the notes would say what ones are included/excluded, but if it were to work it would be generally classified under these three options:
*Retro - mainly consoles from up to [http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Category:Fifth-generation_video_game_consoles fifth-generation]
*Modern - mainly consoles greater than fifth-generation
*Varies - the "catch-all" group that doesn't have a distinct timeline
Anything else do you guys think should be added to the table? --[[User:Skylark|Skylark]] ([[User talk:Skylark|talk]]) 20:16, 25 February 2019 (EST)

:This way, the "platforms" can be left a little more freeform and it'll be easier to clean the page up a bit. Making it sortable would also be ideal. -[[User:Azure Fang|Azure Fang]] ([[User talk:Azure Fang|talk]]) 23:00, 31 March 2019 (EDT)
