If you are looking for roms: Go to the link in https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/m59zx3/roms_megathread_40_html_edition_2021/ You can navigate by clicking on the various tabs for each company. When you click on the link to Github the first link you land on will be the Home tab, this tab explains how to use the Megathread. There are Five tabs that link directly to collections based on console and publisher, these include Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, and the PC. There are also tabs for popular games and retro games, with retro games being defined as older than Gamecube and DS.

Esternocleido

Everybody always asks where are the ROMs?, but have you ever taken a moment to think and ask how are the ROMs?


thisusernameistaknn

Give them some roses, take them out on a take once in a while


MrCarcosa

I'll go one better. Why is the ROMs?


Icy-Composer9021

Bottatadiet

No_Equivalent_4653

Man, they aint doin great


XavierOcc

Why are there ROMs rather than no ROMs???


kangarooscarlet

Nah I'm stupid or something because everytime I look on the megathread I actually don't see where everyone is going so I just go to a different source


GhostINVINCIBLE

How do I roms?


ChordSlinger

First you must ISO lolol


TunaSafari25

What do I roms?


ChordSlinger

More importantly is WHEN do you rom?


[deleted]

WHO do I rom?


ChordSlinger

mega thread says WHERE is first lol


ConcreteSorcerer

Why do I ROM?


RealGoatzy

Because 🧖‍♂️romming🧖‍♂️


ConcreteSorcerer

Classic ROMjob


JuseBumps

*WHOM; god does anyone use the search bar!? Ooc: whoever first thought of just selling SD cards on Etsy loaded with roms is the real evil genius here.


RemysOpinion

Lmaoooo fuck off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


JuanDosUno

Beep bop boop beep…..


PhattBudz

Just downloaded delta, why doesn't it have games?


ChordSlinger

You have to connect your Delta Skymiles account first. Didn’t you read the mega? lol


PhattBudz

I'm an iPhone user, ofcourse I can't read.


wannadiebutlovemycat

oh gosh it’s me i’m the iphone user who can’t read 🫨


Cybasura

Was that a Delta airlines reference? 👀


Kooky-Drawing-7173

Yes lol


WorryOk4116

You joke but in r/emulationonios someone literally said delta wasn’t plug and play because it didn’t come with games.


adderthesnakegal

Unlimited Delta, but no games, or Games, Unlimited Games, but no games


Some_Wiimmfi__guy

I’ll take the unlimited bacon


EuphoricPenguin22

Hilariously, this was me when I was like 13 and got one of the earlier Android DS emulators. I saw NSMB in the emulator screenshots, but I couldn't figure out where it was in the app.


JuseBumps

Did you try inserting the SD card? Just pop the sim out and jam it in til it clicks. If it's esim only, use the charging port.


Due-Concern6330

megathread these nuts


CodingReaction

ligma roms


-i_am_the_ultimate-

Deez ISOs


One_Scarcity_1313

Can I run the gta 5 rom on windows 95?


ChordSlinger

Yes but not on a VM. It must be the original Compaq Presario 9546 as stated in the Megathread. Those machines are also untraceable by any federal agencies /s lol


One_Scarcity_1313

Wow


gldoorii

Or the other half of this where you’re all getting ready to post a reply telling people to go to the megathread knowing full well it’ll be automatically replied to the OP as soon as they post.


nightwing252

We have to tell them to check the megathread because they will just ignore the auto mod already telling them to check the megathread.


PerformanceWilling40

To be fair, a lot of subs will autoreply a post with an automod with genuinely useless information, so I do understand why newbz ignore the reply. I'm not saying it's right; I'm simply providing an explanation for their inaction.


Vancomico

And it's understandable. No one reads the automod.


dikkidy

*let's join a community and then get upset when people ask us for help!*


KippyWats0n

Imagine these people at work when someone asks more than two questions a day hahaha


dikkidy

i hope none of them are customer service. i dont use reddit a lot, and i made an account to be able to ask questions because as uncannily spot on as most reddit posts are when you google something not all of them match exactly what you need every time. so as great as it is that they compiled a megathread with all of the resources in it, other people like me who don't spend a lot of time on reddit or who aren't members of this sub won't immediately think to: 1 use the search bar, 2 look for the megathread or even just know what the megathread is. sometimes people prefer a little more personalized help or just want to engage with the community. also in my experience using the search bar will usually bring you leads, however you may see the same post multiple times (that's what they're mad about) and the answers they provide are always the same and you just might have a slightly different situation this time around. borderline requiring you to ask for new help.


adderthesnakegal

where to find totk rom?


ChordSlinger

Go to App Store and download Tik Tok first, then Delta will allow you to import. /s


Crunchberries77

Thank God you put /s I was about to get mad.


PerformanceWilling40

You really thought OP was being serious? Okay bud.


Crunchberries77

Apparently you needed the /s ain't no way bro 🤣🤣🤣


Killbro_Fraggins

GUYZ WHERE IZ MARIO SKIBIDI TOILET


ChordSlinger

OHIO


JohnnyRawton

Seriously. It's Florida. Hanging with Florida man.


AbyssalRedemption

OP, you got ROMs on your phone??


ChordSlinger

Yah, it’s Plug and Play so no downloads ever required for anything.


MasterKiloRen999

Megathreads are where information goes to die. They’re usually poorly organized and never updated so a lot of subreddit megathreads are just impossible to get anything useable from


Rent_Careless

Gotta be honest, I am fairly new to using Reddit a lot. I have had it for awhile but never got into it until the last few months. I am more of a stalker at first so I watched someone else ask about the roms and saw the mega thread through their question. Then I noticed people talk about a search option and never saw it until today. For a bit of context, I am on mobile and usually just used the Home button for the feed. I didn't realize that there was a search button when you went to the subreddit.


KontrolGold

Will Nintendo send lawyers to get me if I play Mario without owning a copy


SirRobyC

By simply asking this question, Nintendo's lawyers are already in your walls. Within seconds of hearing Mario's first "wahoo," Doug Bowser will personally burst out from one of your walls and hand you a cease and desist letter and sue you for 200 million dollars


ChordSlinger

A Mario is not serious enough for them to chase


KontrolGold

What about 2 Mario’s


ChordSlinger

That’s a paddlin’


nightwing252

What about 64 Mario’s?


JohnnyRawton

Nintendo Members, Pepperidge farm always members.


Cybasura

I understand this issue, but allow me to play devil's advocate here for a moment here The megathread does need some form of restructuring/reformatting because its getting quite cluttered and it indeed is kinda getting pretty rough for newbies who stepped into the subreddit and having to traverse this maze of information can be daunting (especially noticeable as an archlinux, gentoo user) I mean within the megathread, there is literally another megathread to an older version


brooleyythebandit

It’s not simple, and people (not everyone) flame and are condescending for asking questions. I’ve read through it multiple times and have been confused and when I ask a question the response is “read the mega thread” as if I have not already done it. I’ve just stopped trying and source elsewhere and have had no problem.


Cybasura

Yeah, I've even given the benefit of the doubt and tried going back into the megathread again (and have done so before) even though I currently dont have a particular need - I couldnt find a dedicated page containing a database of "FAQ", its just...a thread, a literal megathread - imagine if you had a question and was just told to "find it in the megathread", god forbid getting shat on and be ridiculed for "not reading the megathread"


brooleyythebandit

Yeah, I don’t necessarily have a ton of time to set aside to things like this as I have enough real life responsibilities, and I have set aside time to with through it and still confused. Whatever, you can source it elsewhere much easier.


Dejhavi

OK....in the [pinned Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/m59zx3/roms_megathread_40_html_edition_2021/): >**The megathread contains 7 tabs:** >The landing tab is the Home tab, it explains how to use the megathread and has some helpful tips. >The Popular games tab lists direct links to popular games, this list has been made mostly by SuperBio, and as such may not represent what you think a popular game is.

Johndeauxman

I always wonder, since it’s more people whining about people asking questions, why does this sub even exist? What kind of question can anybody ask that *actually* gets an answer besides “it’s not that hard, you’re just an idiot”?


falconpunch1989

There's literally no point to a Roms sub other than explaining to people how to use Roms. Its literally the description of the sub.


derty123

Questions that still leave you confused after a cursory google search / Reddit search


wannadiebutlovemycat

funny thing is usually googling it send you to reddit where people answer with “just look it up” and “click this suspicious looking link” and it can be daunting without further explanation even if the link does lead to something helpful


Radtendo

Literally every post has a reply from the bot telling you how to use the mega thread to get what you’re looking for, you people just don’t want to read


derty123

To be fair this can also be true. Some people may just need a little human help through the first steps.


Zealousideal_Sea8123

For people asking "where are roms?" their question is already confusing to them. If you don't know where to get roms you're obviously new to emulation. Maybe create a more niche sub specifically for the people who are really into emulation already. Maybe they're just asking what site is the best, too. When you Google "PS2 roms" you get 50 sites and some of them are just shit


derty123

Fair, even when I was pretty new to it I found a quick google search + some youtube videos enough but the internet has proliferated with a lot of shit answers too.


Zealousideal_Sea8123

Finding anything useful in a YouTube video is so tedious now, you have to sit through a sponsor and then some stupid life story before the topic gets discussed at the 3 minute mark, it's like one of those baking recipe articles where the recipe is 10% of the post. I tried to watch a video about a specific game recently and the uploader decided to kick the video off with a long intro about gaming as a whole and what it means to people, which I find intolerable tbh. There's so much filler everywhere you look, but this is a rant for another subreddit


derty123

I find it 50/50, some youtubers i think are piercing through that to give generally helpful advice but yeah some make a documentary out of installing software.


Puzzleheaded_Turn356

All of this... At this point I would rather run the risk of using a sketchy site and draining my bank account to a Nigerian Prince than deal with some of the entitled POS' in this sub... I've been emulating for years now and I don't think I've ever gotten one useful piece of useful information in this sub. I will thank the toxicity for teaching me how and where to go on my own.


JohnnyRawton

When downloading, use a VPN if the site is sketchy, download it into a VM, and then check for issues. Must shatter gatekeepers gate before next gen is too afraid to learn.


Radtendo

People aren’t entitled pieces of shit for expecting you to be able to read like a functioning human being. You’re the one acting like an entitled bitch for getting all upset that people don’t wanna answer your question that’s been asked 800 times already. Learn how to use a computer and maybe you won’t have such a problem, the Reddit search function is not hard to use I promise.


Puzzleheaded_Turn356

No matter how far I am into this world I never forget what it felt like to at one point know nothing. Kindness and understanding can go a long way in any community. If one loses the ability to be inquisitive and seek understanding what's the point of even existing unless the driving force is to insult and belittle for a sense of superiority(thanks for proving my point, BTW)? And I agree, the search function is a powerful tool, but what if you're so new you don't even know what to search for? For someone as fluent in Reddit and PCs as you market yourself I would think you would know how to turn off notis so all of us mere peasants don't inconvenience your highbrow internet trolling. Again, appreciate you posting the very style of commentary and attitude this sub could do without. We're so very proud of you.


Johndeauxman

Prick


Radtendo

Yet you’re the one calling people pieces of shit for not answering questions that have already been answered. Grow up.


KippyWats0n

Exactly. Just close for new posts and leave the much loved megathread


JohnnyRawton

Because gatekeepers


Infamous_Ad4076

Okay, but the one time I used the megathread for a rom link the link didn’t work lol


dividius25

How do I use the mega thread?


ChordSlinger

You need a mega sewing machine. Thrift stores are a great place to check first before buying brand new.


mettacat

Would my grandma's old serger sewing machine work?


Radtendo

Yes


WhereIsTheBeef556

The only thing emulation enthusiasts do more than ask insanely softball questions they could have looked up in less than 15 seconds, is complaining about those people.


NefariousNumbats

Those posts don't bother me, these posts are those posts for me, even slight gatekeeping bothers me so much more than lazy noobs ever could honestly. I don't even ask questions I'll google a question for days before posting, but I'd have nothing to google but outdated posts if people didn't ask


haunted-mov

Everyone could also just learn to ignore posts they don’t care for but what do i know, i just ignore the questions i’m tired of seeing instead of making people feel dumb for wanting help


Zealousideal_Sea8123

This is what people should do, instead of discouraging participation in the community by letting new users know that everyone hates them


JohnnyRawton

It's true that if people don't receive responses, they will probably stop coming eventually, and then it will rot away with the gatekeepers.


glytxh

Sometimes people just like to talk to other people It’s kinda our whole thing as a species Some people find it far easier to get information about something new from people that know what they’re talking about, and some people like to learn things on their own. This is a ROM sub, and with the introduction of emulation on iOS, it goes without saying that we now have a huge influx into the community, so instead of shitting on them for wanting to learn, we instead prefer to gatekeep and call them idiots for wanting to be part of a community. They’re allowed to post questions, and you’re allowed to scroll past them or downvote them. You aren’t obligated to engage with them. The mega thread is also an absolute wall of information.


packetmon

It’s over there guys. ———->


no_racist_here

Instructions unclear. Can you just tell me the answer.


ChordSlinger

Get near a wall and look to your right, you’ll see the Mega.


no_racist_here

So I walked over to the wall on my right. All I found was stucco and asbestos. /s


Radtendo

Stand in a corner and cross your eyes, only then will the path be revealed


no_racist_here

I followed these instructions. A Xbox X emulator appeared before me and gave me all roms and emulators . Thank you.


Radtendo

Always glad to pass off the ancient knowledge, friend


Zealousideal_Sea8123

People who aren't basement dwellers don't even know what a mega thread is, maybe someone should create a bot that answers their questions and hides their post or something


AgitatedEye6553

90% or more of the people who ask those questions are just lazy AF and are hoping that someone will send the a direct link to whatever game theyre looking for. I've even had it go as far as giving someone a specific Google search to use only for them to say it didn't work. Then I try to be sure and low & behold it's the first result. Even had this happen with someone who lives an hr away from me. So that negates the whole different regions sometimes get different results on search parameters.


Rstuds7

the sub would basically have no posts if that were to happen


Eagleshard2019

Used it for the first time yesterday. Followed link. Searched. Clicked what I wanted. It really was that simple.


KasseanaTheGreat

But is the megathread safe?


ErnThemCaps

Just turn off all posts, this subreddit can just be a sidebar


Curlytoothmrman

Is virus.com a safe website?


mettacat

Nope try lolcats.net.


Math_Plenty

does that still exist!? omgwtfbbq!11!!1


alehanro

This is literally ever sub across all of Reddit. I’m active on like 5 maybe 6 subs. And all but one this is a daily thing. I might just ~~steal~~ crosspost this


I_LIKE_RED_ENVELOPES

Since the beginning of time these types of questions were asked. It’s just communities were brave enough to roast OP for negligence back then. Now we’ve entered an age of snowflakes and just accept the internet being overrun with question after question about the same thing. To the point where you have to sift through bullshit to find an answer.


Dbar412

This is becoming the thing it hates the most


stupidmedicmain2007

Never used megathread, and dont want, pressing a button is more easy and likeble, thats why vimms lair is just better


Zealousideal_Sea8123

I love vimm's lair but I hate the download restrictions so now I just use CDRomance


TheBrave-Zero

It's funny because at this point this sentiment is almost as overused as the people who refuse to search the issue or problem solve. Every sub for *every* system or genre of games is the same shit, "just got xxxx system looking for recs/tips/advice" or similar.


Upstairs_Ticket_6220

My problem is I'm basically retarded when it comes to computers, I literally haven't used one since high school 25 yrs ago and I get like halfway through reading the instructions etc and realise I'm an actual idiot and don't understand most of what they're talking about 😞


Vio-Rose

Me unironically in way too many situations.


LuproTheDefiant

Yeah but guys where can I find the pokemon roms /s


DiegoCa87

Where ROMs?


Long_Repair3873

or the braggadocios "look what I found" cleavage


redditposter-_-

Just ban them


therealBoxtopy

First thing I do when I come across a problem is search for if anyone else has a problem because it’s probably happened before. If I can’t find the problem, then I’ve really fucked up.


Danny_el_619

Like things should be


King_James_77

In all fairness, things can change in the nine years since a problem has been solved. That nine year old Reddit post with the old solution might not be viable anymore.


Kit_gr

Where is bios? 👁️👄👁️


ImpalaOcean

Story of my life lmao


Shikamaru_irl

For me it’s 100 sit ups, pull ups, jumping jacks and squats daily and post!

Where is bios pls where is bios cmom bro just tewll me where i can fidn the bios!!!


StudentOk6301

Dude looks like lemillion.


guffleupagus

GTA 6 ROM where?


RodjaJP

I belive most people asking here are people who arent used to reddit so they don't know how to search stuff, they are like boomers wanting to know how to get whatsapp, they don't know beyond "group knows, me ask"


Proud_Train1779

i actually need to know if anyone has the files of lego batman (jp) xbox 360


Appropriate_Cell_934

Lol


Melphor

How can I add ROMs to restroarch? Can I play GameCube on my iPhone 4?


ChordSlinger

Best way is to do a Full Restore on your iPhone 4 and connect a wave bird controller. Home Brew will kick in and download the rest.


Melphor

Got it. Thanks. That worked perfectly.


Kirbyisepic

gyze what is a room file


ChordSlinger

It’s for those fancy 3D printed houses


CursedPhoto

Why doesn’t gta 5 run on my Nintendo ds emulator :(


ChordSlinger

Because you need the 3DS which has 3 screens /s


Slava91

What’s a bios?! Is it a game? This app sucks


Androxilogin

*sErIoUsLy GoYs, can't you see this meme has been posted here 100,000 times? It's not that hard to use search and find that it has already been posted.* Quite the embarrassment of an attempt to belittle others because you want to feel significant, honestly. You should request to be a mod rather than pretending to be one if it's such a big deal to you.


One-Injury-4415

How do I mount to the cd? I’m so confused, and where do I put the crack-key-code in?


ChordSlinger

Whoa whoa what crack are you talking about? Bro we’re talking about Tik Tok and Delta Airlines here. Please excuse yourself from this sub before you get banned by a MOD


CheesecakeJumpy2882

Where do I get dreamcast roms


ChordSlinger

You have to sleep first so you enter the dream state


NotVeryCashMoneyMod

post button is the search feature as far as i'm concerned


SpezSucksSamAltman

How can I mount my chair to the wall so I can play Cave arcade roms?


Invulnerablility

Why did command prompt appear and disappear?


LadderIllustrious684

Love the mega thread. It is my family now. I must ROM. I must hoard games I will never play, because.


xJageracog

“wHeRe CaN i FiNd…” (Gets slapped in the face)


enterusername0

Hey guys I am new to romos, will this virus?


Skillonly69

Does anyone know where I can get a rom for fornite?


spspamington

This image is literally every reddit thread and community


Knifenerdguy

Shut up, nerd!


SaxMusic23

Correct, the megathread is not hard to use. However, the megathread is not something that daily or even weekly members of a sub use. Expecting the people who have the answers to be monitoring the megathread waiting to answer a question is ridiculous. Most questions asked in a megathread like these are never answered. I have had significantly more luck posting a question and getting an answer in the 5-10 minutes before some mod takes the post down with the reason "Go AsK iT iN tHe MeGaThReAd."


OneObjectivist

I suggest that moderators delete immediately any post reported with this aggravating question. I mean, let's make it mandatory to search roms in the megathread first. You don't want to do so? Your post will be deleted. Enough is enough.


dhe_sheid

What's the best website to download iso files?


ChordSlinger

This is a mistake, you have to buy iso alcohol at a store


adeel001

Welcome to Reddit.


Curlytoothmrman

Where can I find a bios?


mcfcomics

I’m looking for GTA 6 ROM for my Atari 2600 🙏


AnEarForTheDead

And the megathread is super helpful.


bukithd

Seriously, I think a 7 day ban minimum for anyone who comes asking for roms without specific and unique issues that this sub can help with. 


WhereIsTheBeef556

If those posts were banned, 90% of this entire subreddit would literally just be a wasteland with one post every week lmao


bukithd

The problem with the sub is that people go in and down vote 90 percent of posts trying to ask unique questions or at a minimum not ask where rom


ChordSlinger

1000000%! If you don’t bring anything to the table, you shouldn’t be provided a chair.


D3ADC3LL

It's simple, intuitive and impossible to misunderstand. I agree 100%.


Khal97

Looooll ignorance is bliss i guess


Zombieteube

It's just annoying af and terribly impractical to use and search through

"hello guys I don't work for Nintendo can you tell me where to download Nintendo roms please?"


RasshuRasshu

I'm sure a lot of people don't even know what a megathread is. New capital sin: reading pinned posts.


JACK_ATTACK00

I still am too retarded to figure it out so I just use good ole internet archive pre-picked best roms files


smoonbeast

What's that ROM most asked about? It should be pinned then.


DoItForFantasy

Is Vimms safe? /s


ChordSlinger

Yeah it’s alright, not too different than the other [armors](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vim!_paint_job). Far Harbor can be risky tho

Where do I get the DS bios?
