Renegade 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Seeing as how the last thread was cluttered with dead links I thought about starting a new one. Well first thing’s first lets gets some links to get people started. Snes: Main site: Emuasylum.com- Hands down best snes roms site, only problem is that you wont find any mario or kirby there. Backup sites: Romnation.net- Again it does not have any mario or Zelda and unlike asylum you have to vote, but its a good place to go to if you really want a sure rom (Note: There are hentai pop ups, but it’s the price you pay for emulation I guess) For those who want nintendo roms here are two sites: www.coolrom.com/snesroms2.php (you need to vote) http://www.ciudadfutura.com/gamesworld/snes.html (I think you have a dialy limit of how many roms you can download) That should be all you need. Recommended emulator: Snes9x (too many places where you can download it from, I personally use the 1.39mk version) Games that I recommned: Mario world, Yoshi island, Secret of mana 2, Chrono trigger, Super punch out, Super castlevania IV, Zelda link to past, Captain Tsubasa 3 and 4, Megaman X series, Megaman 9, Megaman and Bass, NBA Jam TE, Kirby superstar, Clock tower, Mario Kart, ISS Deluxe and Boy soccer team (hack) or its real name captain tsubasa 5. Game patches: http://www.rpgclassics.com/trans/snestrans.shtml or Dejap.com Which can be patched using snes tool, just read this page http://www.rpgclassics.com/trans/howtopatch.shtml Megadrive/Master system/32X: Roms: Again Emuasylum.com is all you need from the sonics to Choatix it should be all there. Games I recommend (megadrive): The Sonics, Toejam and earl 1 and 2, Gunstar heroes, Alien soldier, Dynamite heddy, Ecco the dolphin, Streets of rage 2, Comix zone, Micro machines turbo tourney, Nba jam, Contra hard corps Mega CD: Very few sites actually have Mega CD roms. Here is the only one I’ve used http://www.galeon.com/download-a-saco-2k2/megacd.html Update: dead link. Recommended Megadrive/32X/Mega CD emulator: Gens by a long way. It’s pretty easy to find. Neo-geo Roms: Emuasylum, but they rotate their rom days so you wont be able to download the roms everyday. http://retroroms.official-website.net/modules/news/ - you need to sign up. Neogamez.net- Not always roms, but it’s a good update site for newly dumped roms and the like. It’s a Spanish site. Emulators: Kawaks, mame and Neorage. I myself usually use Kawaks. Mame: http://retroroms.official-website.net/modules/news/ - Need to sign up for it but besides really new roms it has everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Psycho Diablo 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2004 Anyone have a clue where I can find either of the King of Colosseum ISOs? I'd trade if anyone has it.. (I've mainly got non-wrestling stuff. Fire Pro D (full, not rip), and Giant Gram 2k for DC), as well as a whole bunch of Super Robot Wars ISOs, though I don't know if anyone here would be familiar with those games.)

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) Just curious but is there a problem with the Shining Force 2: Return of the King (or whatever the hell the subtitle is)? Reason I ask, is I've got like a couple of characters at LvL 40 and they won't promote. Never been asked or told that they are promoting yet. I want to promote my like 6-8 characters that I have at that level. Anyone know what's up? Edit: God, I haven't played this game in SO long... I forgot you had to talk to the Priest to do Promotions... My bad... Edited February 10, 2004 by Lightning Flik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renegade 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 DC++ guide ver 2 Okay, over time I have seen many many many people asking for cd (playstation, dreamcast etc) games and where they can download them so I thought I could help with this. First off, no downloading cd games is not as easy as downloading a snes rom, you cant just click on a site and download and even if a site claims to do so 99.9999% of the time you will just be sent in circles and probably be bombarded with an influx of ads. Some people use kazza which can be decent at times but only a few select games will fully download since cd games isn’t really what kazza is used for. Also by using kazza you run the risk of downloading a virus when downloading games. In order to download cd games you need a program called DC (Direct connect) ++. DC++ is a godsend for finding roms, isos, warez…in fact anything. First off go and download the program from its homepage, there are other types of direct connect such as neo-modulus direct connect but some hubs are anal to what type of DC you have so just stick with DC++. Further help with DC++ here- this guide will cover everything you need to get started fully illustrated with screenshots. Okay first things first make sure the folder in which your files are being downloaded isn’t your share folder. Sharing incomplete files will get you kicked from any hub. Second, do not share porn period. Almost all hubs have a no porn policy and if you have it in your share, you’ll be kicked or maybe banned. I wouldn’t recommend sharing installed programs either. Now you have established your share click on the public hubs button (the first icon with the computer picture) and wait for the total hub list to load. Then filter the hub list with any keyword or enter the address if you have one to find the hub you are looking for. Make sure you require the minimum share of the hub you are in (it will be in the hub rules) and share things that are relevant to the hub you are in (so if you are in a movie hub make sure you actually have some movies in your share). Now that you are in a hub use the search feature to find what you are looking for. Remember that if you want to download something the user has to have a free slot, otherwise you will be in a queue. And that’s basically it. Advantages of DC++ -It cuts out all the crap, no renamed movies and the like that you would find on kazza. -Romheaven! Particularly GBA roms. -If you’re lucky enough to be download something from someone with a good connection, its damn fast. -You can find almost anything else Disadvantages -You need to share quite a lot depending on the hub -Don’t even jest about downloading if you have a dialup, you need a decent connection. -Can be a bit confusing at first, neo-modulus direct connect is much easier to use but in the long run DC++ is better. -Those god damned queues can last forever. So basically if you have a bad pc don’t use DC++. Some hub addresses I use quite a lot: killua.student.utwente.nl– It's an anime hub but it has so many users I use it for roms and warez too. megaman.gotdns.com- Comic hub, good for those hard to find back issues. Classicsega.homeunix.com – A sega hub, I use it for roms mostly. Hope that helps some people. NOTE: I have read that DC++ can be unsafe at some points so I really would advise you have a good firewall like zone alarm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'd recommend the sports games. NBA Hangtime & 2 on 2 Open Ice for sure. Assuming your computer can handle them of course. My computer lagged on Open Ice, but I have a GeForce 2 and 128 RAM, so it's expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renegade 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Problem is most of the good mame roms are beatups or fighting games of some kind anyway here are some you might like. Racing: Chase Hq Outrun Puzzle: Puzzle bobble - I have spent so much money on this game and no matter who you are you will learn to love the music. Super puzzle fighter II turbo- Puzzle game with SD Capcom characters Magical drop 3 Shooters: Blazing star Pulstar The 1940 games, there are quite alot of them Varsara2 Gigawing Guwange- I LOVE THIS GAME! Sports: Nba Jam and Nba jam TE is all you need (note you must have the nba jam rom if you want TE to work) Other: Sunset riders - platform cowboy shooter.
