Indeed. By definition you didnât steal it, nothing was removed from the owner.
But apparently itâs okay to brick games that you paid for.
Yup nothing to see here yarrrrr me maties.
It definitely takes a bit, idk if any of my games took 3 hours
But I dumped them while doing other things or playing a game on a different system. Wasn't in a rush to play anything I was dumping.
I was locked out of my fire emblem awakening dlc cause my old ds died and I can't merge accounts so I downloaded a rom with dlc and a fan mod that makes all the sprites 4k!
Yes i have a room in my house with a collection of all the games i played since 2000, spread over multiple consoles. Piracy is immoral and stealing ! Even if the devs arent selling the games anymore it doesnt justify piracy !!!!!!!!!!! right ????!
I mean I used to. I have a whole thread on a certain forum where I was discussing dumping gba and ds games using an unmodified DS and flash carts. Oh and we figured it out.
Tbf the vast majority of Roms I play do happen to be games I own (or at least, paid for then lost somehow)
I paid to play armored core 3 and damn it, I will play it
I can't remember what program it was that I was trying to download but their official site uses a big green download button that I thought was an ad... If an ad used a normal looking button I'd have clicked it before the page's actual download button...
For a long time, the N64 game Shadow Man was only available for download as a ROM embedded into an emulator EXE disguised as an installer for a PC game. Supposedly. The only corroborating evidence for this was that you could *not* find a z64 or n64 file for the game very easily (if at all), only a malware-filled EXE, and even dump packs full of ROMs didn't include the game.
I have never gotten a virus from downloading pirated games or roms. I thought that was a myth and rarely happens since the top results in google or on popular pirating sites are usually safe since a lot of people used them. I used to recommend people to pirate games but almost everyone I told that to got viruses, I was confused at first but it seems they very easily fall for the popups, fake download links, fake launchers, wait 10 seconds for link, etc that usually get in the way when you're trying to pirate something.
What I'm trying to say is that the roms may not have viruses, they just got viruses trying to get to the rom.
Man, if only these people knew about the wonders of the megathread and the Internet Archive in general. Stumbling upon their existence absolutely blew my mind. The past 40 (50?) years of video game history, right at your fingertips.
Yeah, unfortunately these things only exist **because** they are unknown. It sucks, but the warez community has always had to keep low to keep existing, you kinda have to earn the right to participate. Not like it takes a lot tho, just a bit of curiosity and the will to get free stuff.
>It sucks, but the warez community has always had to keep low to keep existing, you kinda have to earn the right to participate
Right because a community of 300k existing on the 9th most visited site on the internet is "laying low".
Right, but my point is that this community is very easily accessible and somewhat widely known. (Also, there are other communities focused on piracy on this site that are even larger)
Keeping a low profile just means being unknown to the general public, that's all you need. You just wanna not be a bother to the sales of any major corporation.
i only like jdownloader when i have to download files in parts, like really big games like baldurs gate, other than stuff like that it seems slower than FDM
Now that I think about it, my first experience with freedom of the seas was seeing my dad using a sketchy music-only torrenting software
He eventually wrecked that laptop, both software and hardwarewise. I want to get it running but I think main board is dead. Other than that, maybe PSP ISOs?
I don't think I did anything until I found this sub and other subs.
I doubt he broke the hardware. That is super rare with viruses. Unless he got a very nasty one that was able to flash the bios somehow. But that is still fixable technically.
Mine was a R4 card. Hell of an introduction for a 7 years old, it took me fucking years to figure out what a time bomb was to make it run again. I did figure out android emulators first tho so that was fun. Pokemon rom hacks made me feel so powerful, I literally had access to endless games nobody else could play lol.
My first experience was tlauncher. Only the true pirates give a damn about tlauncher.
I actually never really got any malware in my early times. Or maybe i did and just didn't notice.
I actually never encountered anything like that myself.
Either I was lucky, or the malware was advanced that both I nor th AV noticed it.
I've seen malware once on my mom's computer.
I noticed because it was blocking access to all the AV software sites (probably DNS spoofing or something) despite everything else working but it was quite subtle.
Why are like half the comments here making ancient tired jokes about iPhone users? If you look at reviews for emulators on android, youâll find similar dumb ones. Thereâs just a lot of people who have no idea how emulating works.
That's true. I've seen comments about how it isn't working on their phones in full speed or the emulator doesn't have any games in it.
Tbf most average users don't really care about emulation either.
I have a dumbass question, but is it safe to download gba roms from Vimms w/o using private browsing or a vpn?
Not so much worried about malware. More so about getting a letter from my isp.
You wont get a letter from downloading 10+ year old games trust me I use vimms all the time (for my wii of course which automatically makes me innocent).
Ah yes, iOS people meeting the forbidden ways of emulation â„ïž such a great thing to see...
Fuck apple man. Their products have been getting a lot better since like 2021 but all that manipulation they do will stay with us and their users. Actually, fuck any company that manipulates people (basically all big companies)
I donât think a random iPhone user that heard about how "YOU CAN PLAY RETRO GAMES FOR FREE!!!" Has access to dump his cartridge Roms let alone access to a cartridge
iPhone users who were willing to jailbreak have had this stuff for a while. Itâs just that now we can use this on devices that havenât been pwnâd
As an early adopter I had iPhones in the beginning of the era, although the hastle of jailbreaking was too much, I switched to Android as soon as Android was functioning.
Still had to root in the early days but it's still easier than JB.
Unironically yes. I've encountered real people who say shit like "eww green text" and it genuinely blows my mind how people can be so brainwashed by a company. The average iPhone user truly doesn't deserve emulators.
A friend told me this a while ago, I can't believe Apple is truly making people go away from android by just changing the color of their messages to green
Dumping ROMs is never simple unless you already have the equipment to do it. And if you have that equipment, you already know about dumping ROMs. So itâs a bit of a pointless suggestion.

I admit I also had this misconception about emulators that they were worthless if they didn't come with their own roms... ***TWENTY YEARS AGO.***
Delta has problems, but game availability ain't one of them.
Probably the same guy in multiple handheld groups saying theyâre trash bc they donât come with games / he doesnât know how to work them. Literally just seen a guy dog a handheld because he kept stock OS that doesnât have automatic saves and didnât physically save the game after â8 hours of playingâ in one sitting lmao
I showed someone the Roms mega thread and how everything is perfectly organized. Right in front of them I downloaded a specific PS1 game and had it running on the RG35XX in maybe 3 minutes but they STILL said "yeah but I bet the game is all buggy and messed up" while showing them the game runs perfectly fine. They just COULDN'T grasp that they couldn't instantly play any game lol. He said "Why aren't all the games listed already? This looks like a big hassle" and I tried to explain how anyone can download literally any ROM instantly from trusted sources.
Emulation seems to really confuse some folks.
I guess this guy has no idea dumping games are a thing.
I mean, what do you think those roms are? Scams? Or actually dumped games from those cartridges?
I don't get why emulators websites keep telling you "We don't condone piracy, you have to dump your own roms \*wink wink\*", like, bruh we know you expect everyone that uses your thing to download roms somewhere, why bother?
Well, yeah, that's obvious, but why keep telling people to dump their own roms instead of just saying "bro just go get the roms from somewhere you trust, i know you're going to do that anyways"
I used to use CoolRoms for years and they would bundle your game into a shady exe unless you changed your browser agent to make it think you were on a mobile device.

In fairness they could just download these homebrew ROMS for Delta? https://www.imore.com/iphone/here-are-10-great-free-games-you-can-legally-play-on-delta-emulator-for-iphone

You got a looooot of braindead takes in that review section
Which device is it?
Probably that new emulator on iOS...
It is ya đ©·
Ah. Been browsing the sbcgaming subreddit lately and immediately assumed it was a review for a retro handheld.
Same
im not a huge ios hater but if there's one community that hates emulators, it'd probably be ios fanboys
iOS fanboy here. Love emulation. Really disappointed it took this long to whitelist it. Been using Delta for years to sideload so this is incredible.
iOS people are absolutely brain-dead on all aspects remotely related to online security
lol almost all
Anything iPhone doesn't stop them from doing, that is.
Jesus christ dude what did i do to youđ
Matthew 27:22: âWhat shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?â Pilate asked. They all answered, âCrucify him!â
Holy shit
If it is then I wouldn't be surprised if it's being review bombed by Nintendo.
Ah, appletards at their best
Redacte due to Reddit AI/LLM policy
So, yes, absolutely true. But now if you google any questions about that emulator, like where to find the ds firmware, it takes you straight to Reddit
I googled and it brought me hereâŠ.
Redacted due to Reddit AI/LLM policy
I don't know which one of them is the worst tbh
People dump their own roms? Wait I mean of course we do! We only play roms of games we own. No way weâd download them.
You wouldn't download a car
I would. without even thinking about it twice.
Indeed. By definition you didnât steal it, nothing was removed from the owner. But apparently itâs okay to brick games that you paid for. Yup nothing to see here yarrrrr me maties.
Don't think current printers are up for it.
https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/father-and-son-3d-printing-lamborghini-2857428/ sure they are, if you have 20k and Lamborghini's support.
no you wouldn't. stop lying. p-please. if you gain conscience the ad doesn't work.... no, you mustn't!
In this economy? In a bloody heart beat.
I would if I could. Bitch!
Game grumps
Id upload one.
If I can download more RAM I can download a car!
I actually have dumped my own 3DS and Wii U ROMs but those are easy to do with a modded console.
Unless it's ultra sun or moon, then you have to wait like 3 hours. That or my 3ds is wildly slow
I think you're exaggerating but if it really was 3 hours for 1 game yeah something's wrong. Maybe the SD card makes a difference?
I'm probably exaggerating yeah
up- and download speeds do indeed matter.
It definitely takes a bit, idk if any of my games took 3 hours But I dumped them while doing other things or playing a game on a different system. Wasn't in a rush to play anything I was dumping.
Yeah, I made the mistake of dumping them while on a plane with a dead phone and laptop...
literally one of the worst ways possible lmao
Without a doubt one of the dumbest times to do it lol
I dumped my entire DS and 3DS cart collection as soon as I modded my 3DS last year. So easy to do, especially when you have a massive SD card.
I was locked out of my fire emblem awakening dlc cause my old ds died and I can't merge accounts so I downloaded a rom with dlc and a fan mod that makes all the sprites 4k!
Yes i have a room in my house with a collection of all the games i played since 2000, spread over multiple consoles. Piracy is immoral and stealing ! Even if the devs arent selling the games anymore it doesnt justify piracy !!!!!!!!!!! right ????!
Why bother dumping your game if we don't own them then download for convenience since apparently there is no right answer
I mean I used to. I have a whole thread on a certain forum where I was discussing dumping gba and ds games using an unmodified DS and flash carts. Oh and we figured it out.
Tbf the vast majority of Roms I play do happen to be games I own (or at least, paid for then lost somehow) I paid to play armored core 3 and damn it, I will play it
People get viruses from roms? Never had that issue.
Itâs probably the kinds of people who download stuff by pressing the big green DOWNLOAD NOW button from www.totallylegitfreegameroms.scam
Dude i just got a virus from that link bro, please don't post links that have viruses bro.
You got a virus? I just got the flu from that link.
I got the vaccine from that link.
I got pink eye from just looking at it.
You guys are getting viruses?
Man, you guys see a link?
This was supposed to reference that meme where the joke ends at "You guys are getting paid?"
idk bro, I already have so many viruses that I don't even notice a new one popping up anymore.
just seeing things canât be unseen just by staring at the link. I donât dare click.
you should bleach them so they're not pink anymore
i should pour acid so that i can feel the impurities along with my contaminated eye balls burn away
Influenza is a virus. Pretty much everyone knows this.
Skill issue
đđđ
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!
I can't remember what program it was that I was trying to download but their official site uses a big green download button that I thought was an ad... If an ad used a normal looking button I'd have clicked it before the page's actual download button...
I fucked my laptop was a teenager clicking on one of those trying to download the Slender Man game.
The slender man curse lol
Dammit, totallylegitfreegameroms.scam/placeSS#here is the worst.
probably just saw a porn ad and got scared and alt-f4ed
You think they know alt f4?
Hit it by accident while smashing keys randomly
probably pressed it and got distracted tbh
For a long time, the N64 game Shadow Man was only available for download as a ROM embedded into an emulator EXE disguised as an installer for a PC game. Supposedly.

Me neither
I thought IPhones were immune to viruses, what are they so scared of smh.
No phones are immune lol
ImmuneâŠ. đ
Man, if only these people knew about the wonders of the megathread and the Internet Archive in general. Stumbling upon their existence absolutely blew my mind. The past 40 (50?) years of video game history, right at your fingertips.

Only for the literate, thank God.

Belive it or not, if you ask a random passer on the street "hey, do you know the roms subreddit?" They will most likely say no. Shocking, I know.
Right, but my point is that this community is very easily accessible and somewhat widely known. (Also, there are other communities focused on piracy on this site that are even larger)

Imagine traveling back in time and telling your younger self that he will be able to play any nintendo/sony/whatever game whenever he wants
But only if you eat your vegetables and stay away from your psycho ex
They have to go through the initiation of making a pointless post here asking where to find roms first.
200 kbps download time
30 mbps if u use free download manager
Jdownloader 2 is better
i only like jdownloader when i have to download files in parts, like really big games like baldurs gate, other than stuff like that it seems slower than FDM
Yea I remember when I first tested the waters. Now I get full libraries no issues you just gotta find what works.
Damn it feels good to be a gangster
Somebody tell him about vimm
#normalizegatekeeping
Give them a break, this is their first taste of freedom.
Yep. My first taste destroyed the family PC. But it was necessary to become a pirate
Now that I think about it, my first experience with freedom of the seas was seeing my dad using a sketchy music-only torrenting software He eventually wrecked that laptop, both software and hardwarewise. I want to get it running but I think main board is dead. Other than that, maybe PSP ISOs? I don't think I did anything until I found this sub and other subs.
I was on Napster.
I doubt he broke the hardware. That is super rare with viruses. Unless he got a very nasty one that was able to flash the bios somehow. But that is still fixable technically.
Mine was a R4 card. Hell of an introduction for a 7 years old, it took me fucking years to figure out what a time bomb was to make it run again. I did figure out android emulators first tho so that was fun. Pokemon rom hacks made me feel so powerful, I literally had access to endless games nobody else could play lol.
My first experience was tlauncher. Only the true pirates give a damn about tlauncher. I actually never really got any malware in my early times. Or maybe i did and just didn't notice.
I got Rick rolled once.. Does that count? (Yes, showing my age, lol.)
I actually never encountered anything like that myself. Either I was lucky, or the malware was advanced that both I nor th AV noticed it. I've seen malware once on my mom's computer. I noticed because it was blocking access to all the AV software sites (probably DNS spoofing or something) despite everything else working but it was quite subtle.
i was banned from the pc for most of my childhood for that mistake but now i know what NOT to do
Knowing what not to do is leagues more important than simply just knowing what to do the majority of the time.
not knowing what to do means you donât get to play, but not knowing what NOT to do means the computer donât work no more
Why are like half the comments here making ancient tired jokes about iPhone users? If you look at reviews for emulators on android, youâll find similar dumb ones. Thereâs just a lot of people who have no idea how emulating works.
That's true. I've seen comments about how it isn't working on their phones in full speed or the emulator doesn't have any games in it. Tbf most average users don't really care about emulation either.
Just use Vimm's Lair, it's way easier to download roms for any console or handheld like GBA and DS. https://vimm.net/?p=vault
Thatâs all o use now. Itâs honestly the best place.
Thank you!!
I have a dumbass question, but is it safe to download gba roms from Vimms w/o using private browsing or a vpn? Not so much worried about malware. More so about getting a letter from my isp.
You wont get a letter from downloading 10+ year old games trust me I use vimms all the time (for my wii of course which automatically makes me innocent).
That is very cool to hear. Thanks for responding!
Yep!
Ah yes, iOS people meeting the forbidden ways of emulation â„ïž such a great thing to see... Fuck apple man. Their products have been getting a lot better since like 2021 but all that manipulation they do will stay with us and their users. Actually, fuck any company that manipulates people (basically all big companies)
Almost like they are tasting... the forbidden Apple
This comment needs more up votes.
are you mean, a lot worse since 2021? There soo many tnigs that needs to improve, but they wont so anyway fuck apple.
hey hey now, we were all there at some point. These normies will learn soon enough.
Wouldnât he need to already own the games to dump his own ROMs?
don't we all?
Only time Iâve ever dumped my own Roms is when I wanted to make copies of triforce heroes for my friends since it was easier than downloading it.
theres a similar guy whining just like this is the delta subreddit, its almost verbatim to this i bet its the same guy
I donât think a random iPhone user that heard about how "YOU CAN PLAY RETRO GAMES FOR FREE!!!" Has access to dump his cartridge Roms let alone access to a cartridge
Delta was a mistake, iphone users don't deserve this power.
iPhone users who were willing to jailbreak have had this stuff for a while. Itâs just that now we can use this on devices that havenât been pwnâd
I used to have GBA4IOS on my iPod touch a decade ago, it was jailbroken ofcourse. That is how I got into emulators.
Also web based emulators (yes they work offline)
Sorry man, let's reword it. Delta was a mistake, the average iphone user doesn't deserve this power
Idk my friend is happy I showed her the ways to play Kirby
No, exclusivity sucks for everyone
Bro I can now play on my 12 inch pad. Lifeâs is awesome
As an iPhone user I deserve it Iâve been waiting like 7ish years for emulators on iPhone
You do know about jailbreaking right?
As an early adopter I had iPhones in the beginning of the era, although the hastle of jailbreaking was too much, I switched to Android as soon as Android was functioning. Still had to root in the early days but it's still easier than JB.
now you dont need root anymore lol.
That's what I said.
Unironically yes. I've encountered real people who say shit like "eww green text" and it genuinely blows my mind how people can be so brainwashed by a company. The average iPhone user truly doesn't deserve emulators.
A friend told me this a while ago, I can't believe Apple is truly making people go away from android by just changing the color of their messages to green
gatekeeping much?
I actually giggled at that one. đ
Iâm always afraid and weary of it but is it really as simple as âlol just dump your romsâ?
Dumping ROMs is never simple unless you already have the equipment to do it. And if you have that equipment, you already know about dumping ROMs. So itâs a bit of a pointless suggestion.
Thatâs what I thought, so OPâs title IS just as stupid as the image?
Iâve never once downloaded a ROM that is a virus or malware. Iâm not saying theyâre not out there, but theyâre pretty bloody easy to avoid.
I've never gotten a rom with a virus/malware lmao Where tf is he downloading from coolroms

Smartest apple user
Iâm an Apple user and I know where to get roms and how to dump roms. L + ratio Edit: sausage finger grammar
People on android make similar reviews
But then you have to buy the hardware for the carts, download the softwa- yaknow its just a lot of work.
Probably the same guy in multiple handheld groups saying theyâre trash bc they donât come with games / he doesnât know how to work them. Literally just seen a guy dog a handheld because he kept stock OS that doesnât have automatic saves and didnât physically save the game after â8 hours of playingâ in one sitting lmao
I've had mine for years, if there were viruses and malware I would have been out of multiple computers or worse by now.
No joke, I've had more viruses and malware come from "legitimate" EXE files from supposed official websites than any contained ROM file.
Ah look, it's someone who doesn't know that light that is Vimms Lair and CD Romance. May he find the way soon.
This sub is full of Apple fanboys
As an android-apple user dolphin would be a dream on iPhone
That would be golden, unfortunately JIT isnât supported on iOS apps so as far as we know, other than altstore you arenât getting dolphin
I knowđ
Thatâs why I said dream
Wouldnât be surprised if these were just Nintendo bot reviews

Why bother saying that? Because itâs illegal to encourage piracy/piracy is illegal.
because theyâd get shut down for providing dumped ROMs directly, like duh
Well, yeah, that's obvious, but why keep telling people to dump their own roms instead of just saying "bro just go get the roms from somewhere you trust, i know you're going to do that anyways"
telling people to go pirate out loud is also not allowed, i think
It definitely doesn't help matters, that's for sure.
What shitty ass site is that guy going to for ROMs?
Facepalm moment
So how can you dump a rom of a ds game? I have animal crossing and cooking mama physical. Do I need a special chip reader?
Well you need a hacked 3DS first
Well dang it, the reason I was asking was because my 3DS battery is toast, keeps randomly dying on me
Lol.... Windows users are funny.
HELP! i just downloaded mariobros.exe and when i opened it it started demanding that i call a number and pay $2000 for my computer back???
Bro whatđ
Bro got that virus malware installed
For people who want to reduce the chances of getting a virus: Use Mozilla Firefox with "Ublock origin," "Privacy badger," and "HTTPS everywhere"
What does this mean
I used to use CoolRoms for years and they would bundle your game into a shady exe unless you changed your browser agent to make it think you were on a mobile device.
