Gaming How do you obtain roms?

[IBNobody]

Newsgroups

 

[sonic209]

Megaupload is the best way to go for all games,in my opinion

 

[spectral]

I get pretty much everything from usenet, occasionally using torrents.

 

[Zerrix]

I always ask Chuck Norris,if new ROMs are out^^

 

[Jackreyes]

Sites that link to rapidshare........ that kinda of thing.

Same. I believe one of the sites I usually go to had a mention on the April Fools podcast.

Really, well that's breaking GBATemp's rules for not mentioning sites that link to ROMs

I heard it too.

 

[callmebob]

can we rename this topic to "please post rick rolls here"?

 

[altorn]

I buy roms online. They usually get shipped within 2 business days.

Torrents FTW

 

[boblen]

GOOGLE! - lol just google roms

 

[Downloaderz]

I use torrents, and while we're on the topic, is there any tool to number the scene releases' folders?

 

[Hadrian]

I use the magical ROM bush. 360 & Wii games I use to obtain from the Cherub Monkey.

All truth, ask lagman.

I use this rather dashing site, that sort of sorts out all the new roms ya see.

They offer a nice picture of the game so you can better understand what the game is about, rather than going on the basis of the game name, which is usually enigmatic at best. As well as some basic details about the rom like size and who made it etc.

And they use several atypical download services all of which you know the names of already.

But if I'm looking for a rom, and it's more than a month old, it's off to the newsgroup, because why have broadband if I'm not going to exploit the power of it doncha know.

You can always type [game name] torrents into a Google search, but just because you find a torrent, doesn't mean you've found the game. People trust torrents as if they would never be false

I find a leprechaun. He gives me ROMs. And cars.

I don't download ROMs. I obtain them by making my own backup.
And yes, I'm against piracy.

 

[ECJanga]

Direct Download. I have 1 main site and 2 backup ones.

The main one uploads the ROM to 2 different sites.
FileFactory and Qshare. FileFactory is really fast and has no wait-to-download times.

The 2 other sites I use also upload to FileFactory.

FileFactory is just plain pwnage. Just enter the code and you're downloading at a HIGH speed. Something a lot of these file hosts miss.

normally vampires give em to people and then those people turn into vampires too.

by vampires i mean seeds

no not gundam seed
and no not not the final fantasy seeds either.

That's both admirable and good of you (if true). It would be a great world if downloading simply wasn't possible I suppose.

I could just as easily say I don't illegally download though. You see I PAY for broadband service. I PAY for newshosting services.
I know that wouldn't mean sweet diddly in a courtroom, but hmm how often have you heard court rulings that made you freak out out over the injustice?

Ever heard of a drunk driver get a slap on the rist after killing a family with his lethal weapon car? Yeah I know you have.

The law isn't perfect, nor infallible. Hell it doesn't even make sense half the time.

If anyone has explaining to do, it's Bell Canada and Giga News, they sold me the goods. Nintendo can go get the money from them if they feel like it.

 

[Zonix]

I get them from the muffin man! Yes, the muffin man can!

Nah.. I get them from torrents.

 

[TLSpartan]

I get them all from websites. Getting all NES and SNES ROMs from a good site right now
