Look for them on WiiUBrew.org Title Database or the Nintendo eShop. Otherwise, you can see if there is a Game ID inconsistency in the RPX or ROM itself.
In NES/SNES, the RPX will be named after the Game ID of the game.
In N64 and NDS, you can open the ROM file in a hex editor (located at \content\rom\ for N64 or \content\0010\rom.zip\ for NDS) and the Game ID will be in the header.
These Game ID's can be looked up on the Title Database to see if they legitimately exist.
(I'm not sure about GBA - @ajd4096 is your guy there, but I also need to know how to find the Game ID of GBA
)
For GBA, the quick-n-dirty:
Start it and look at the manual.
You can check by extracting the rom and comparing the rom's ID with the alldata filename.
inject_gba -v --inpsb=/path/to/your/alldata.psb.m --outrom=extracted.gba
xxd -s 0xAC -l 6 extracted.gba
Which will print something like this:
$ inject_gba -v --inpsb content/alldata.psb.m --outrom extracted.gba
Reading 'content/alldata.psb.m'
Reading file content/alldata.bin
Writing 'extracted.gba'
Extracting 'system/roms/AAFFE0.128.m'
^^ This shows the original name, I don't patch that when injecting.
$ xxd -s 0xAC -l 6 extracted.gba
000000ac: 4146 4645 3038 AFFE08
^^ This shows what the rom is. If it was injected, it will almost certainly differ.

I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently. -

It's going alright thanks+1 I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.

Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

@
SylverReZ:
Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Maximumbeans:
Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
