[@GregsGameRoom]

Thanks for watching! Here are some other interesting videos: My Flashcarts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIaQdamjfMRnqKs Add More Games To Genesis Mini: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnTNepKkmN6sfqs Why I Don't Collect Retro Games: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooqZg2epfL98qac

In 2024 people better keep their ROMs on a back up SD , Thumb Drive or External hard Drive , Nintendo Snitch is cracking down on roms and emu

[@Tunnelrat123]

Remember, ALWAYS USE AN ANTIVIRUS WHEN DOWNLOADING ROMS

[@AJ16484]

I just got one from an smw rom. I could use some suggestions on where to get them but all the videos are the same. They can't suggest due to legalities. I understand.

[@joezar33]

Yeah lot of sites I used all the time , will slowly cause a virus, I use *CCcleaner* and win 7 Microsoft essentials , don't know why these things happen over time suck

[@Supercon57]

The audio has that constant tube tv buzz sound I'm not even mad, that brings back some nostalgia lol

[@SurpriseMechanics]

Imagine if these games were just available for purchase on PC. Wouldn’t that be crazy? Imagine all the money these companies would make… oh well.

[@shaky6669]

Watched this Video and now there's a black Tahoe parked across the street. Yikes! lol!

[@GregsGameRoom]

Hahahahah!

[@mikeclose6431]

Where to get roms is the title. Somewhere is the answer....Great.

[@zombieplasticclock]

I've been using emulators for over a decade, and it still surprises me that people keep asking where to get roms. They're quite easy to get legitimately, if you know where to look. Illegitimate, even easier. But you're on your own with that one

[@GregsGameRoom]

Yeah, exactly. I needed this video to give out for the endless "Where do I get ROMs?" comments.

[@zombieplasticclock]

@@GregsGameRoomHopefully people watch it before they ask again. People like that are why emulation has a bit of a bad rep.

[@jeffrywalker721]

The point is, the people that watch these videos don't know where to look and neither of you answer the question of how do I get these legitimately. so how can you expect any better of the audience?

​@@jeffrywalker721THANK YOU!

[@Kactuskid7]

@@jeffrywalker7213 years later and WE ARE ALL STILL CONFUSED HOW GET ROMS LEGALLY OR OTHERWISE! “Just Google ROMs” is dismissive. I want specific and safe ways to get ROMs. I don’t mind paying for legit ROMs if I know I’m not going to brick my PC like I used to do with Limewire back in the day…

[@chuckkern5538]

well your title reads "where do I get ROMs..

[@SinistarPro_Mike]

This is why I continue to get funny (or dirty) looks whenever I'm at the store. For instance, when I'm at the deli and I ask for a ½ lb. of roms. 😬 Great video Greg, although you should have went full-on 80's PSA with it. That would have been gold!!!

[@GregsGameRoom]

Oh, man... That's a good idea!

[@darthtesla1753]

Subscribed, what a vibe.

[@bjhanco6595]

Hey kids, this is NOT the cops here. Wow these ROMS are so fly! Its pretty sweet downloading these games huh!? So where do you all get your ROM games from these days??

[@GregsGameRoom]

LOL

[@Mc3ks]

Definitely not a cop says: so do you guys commit any naughty things? It's ok, you can trust me

[@Mc3ks]

Most of us know of these games because we own them and the consoles have broken and now we have no way of playing the games. Or we just want to play the games on a different and more portable device, not some giant CRT TV. I would much rather re-buy these games in bulk on PC, that would be amazing. But these greedy copyright companies are short sighted, so they are passing out on very easy money. Sad. Imagine just going on steam deck and just hitting download and pay for the convenience of replaying games you already own with no strings attached or fear of viruses. To be fair, I already do that with all the games I liked when I have played on console and now want to also own on PC / steam deck. I spent about $8,000 doing so... And honestly barely play, I just collect them mostly. It's like I'm just paying to have a piece of history I may some day play or not play...cuz realistically I barely have time to play...but I do have money Just terrible business practice when the official and legal pathways have a worse service experience or most of the time no actual service at all for acquiring and playing old games. It's wild. You get punished for pirating and not pirating. The old games that are available for sale are often plagued by issues that they originally did not come with, like DRM, and other nonsense like risking losing access to a game any day. Ubisoft made that very clear with their 6 months warning....garbage trend. It's pushing gamers away to other means

[@Linser22]

For cartridge based consoles I try to go for a full(ish) set so I don’t have to search the web for individual roms. It ends up being a kind of a one and done thing. Unfortunately I can’t do that for the disk based consoles, maybe one day when I get a multi terabyte raid hard drive system. Haha

[@GregsGameRoom]

Most of mine were downloaded individually. But back then it was a list of links, so it was just BAM BAM BAM! Now they want to put each game on it’s own freaking page...

[@Linser22]

Greg's Game Room Honestly having so many roms at the get go can be overwhelming. But after clicking through so many pages and ads like you mentioned to get to one rom, hearing the news of all The trusted rom sites closing down, and since internet speeds are fast enough it’s better safe than sorry.

[@shaunharris697]

Gaming companies should sell olds roms at a reasonable price since they are in high demand. More money on their pockets!

[@ryankilgore6647]

How often do you personally give your ROMs to people...,like if a friend want some?

[@GregsGameRoom]

I don’t think I ever have

[@ryankilgore6647]

@@GregsGameRoom my gosh whats the point then.

[@DroBoww]

Never do this, supplying roms is a pretty bad crime. Just let them find the roms on their own.

[@Wolvie619]

One site you can safely name is Emuparadise. Why is it safe? Because Nintendo slapped a cease and desist order on the place. No Nintendo or Sony roms/iso to be found there. While the use of roms is a grey area, the law states we can have one backup of a song/game. Nintendo of course says this is BS and you have to pay for an approved copy on an approved system. They don't even like roms or Iso's taken from your own games for your personal use. Which is actual BS.

[@GregsGameRoom]

I think if you ripped you own ROM from a cart that’s ok as a “backup.” But downloading one from somewhere else, I doubt the law would approve

[@hereshoping6992]

I download the roms but there's no game in it ? Help please,

[@catsup1308]

I can hear that CRT and it hurts

[@jodyjohnson265]

A nother tip is dont go to shady websites like wow roms it gives you malware

[@Ji99i3]

Hi Greg. Thanks to you I handled my Sega with Lunar. If you're up for it can you show me how to get my PS1 modded too? A lot of people are making it connect to wifi, Bluetooth, and otg (wtv that is) Can you show me a simple hack where I can just add about 50 or so titles to a stick and run my modded PS1 classic. Thank you Greg great video

I am more confused

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Greg your doing shady things or something illegal. Lol

[@GregsGameRoom]

Never, never.

Best place to get roms is............The E or V guarantee good quality no virus

I'm looking for an all-in-one device that I can either play handheld or on the tv but it's gotta be able to work on the tv. I have ps5 I have a ps4 and nintendo switch. I'm looking for something that will allow me to play. Just about all video games on one system. There are games like Ms.pac man maze madness (ps1) the old school frogger (ps1) Pokémon battle revolution (wii) Pokémon series for (Gameboy advance & nintendo DS and the new Ds 2ds 3ds) games I'd like to play along with even current nintendo switch games&ps4+5 I'd like to be able to play all on one system. Is there a way I can dump my own collection of games and make roms that will work for other systems? Like set a Gameboy game up to run on My ps5 or switch? I'm more than willing to buy the physical collection of games it would just be nice to have them all run on one system. Not even sure it's possible but figured you'd be the one to ask! Thanks 🥰
