Click the tabs on the top of the webpage and look for your console to find your ROMs.

Inspired by that thread from the other day. I hope this thread inspires anyone who wanted to get into retro games to consider emulation instead of 5000$ scalped disks and consoles. This site maybe doesn't have the fastest downloads but it makes emulation sooo easy for anyone hesitating!

Edit: thanks eveyone for the links!

      Download your emulators directly from the emulator developers (or though curated channels, like RetroArch, or your Linux distribution). Don't use the emulators packaged in torrents and whatnot.

      Luckily, perfect rom copies have documented hash checksums. You can verify that your roms are legit by matching them with the hash checksum. Also, modern console game discs are signed by the manufacturer with pgp. Some modern roms you can verify with the manufacturer signature.
