Help me find Super Nintendo ROMs

[Matt Young]

My 360 red ringed on me and I'll be sending it in whenever the coffin arrives. All the games I have for older systems have been played to death. I figured I would enjoy some Super NES ROMs while my 360 is out of commission.

 

I downloaded the zSNES emulator, but here's the problem- every site I go to, when i try to download a ROM, it says the site cannot offer a download because the games are ESA protected. Okay, then why have the fucking site in the first place?

 

Does anyone know where I can download some games?

planetemu.net

[jwest27]

EmuAsylum is a good one.

[Black Lushus]

Matt, I would assume you're looking for titles like Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Zelda 3, etc.? I know those are all ESA protected. I'll try to remember to hook you up when I get home today...shoot me a PM if I aven't done it by tomorrow. Tell me what you need and I'll see if I have it.

[haws bah gawd]

I haven't been there in a while, but Vimm.net is a good resource. Limits you to 5 d/l's a day though.

[Golgo 13]

Everything I have bookmarked.

 

coolrom.com

romhustler.net

emuv2.com

emuhustle.net

rombomb.com

snesorama.us

 

Or just say fuck it and grab a torrent.

 

Take a look here if you're looking for a smaller batch.

I use Edgeemu.com. They require registration, but I have a shitty email for stuff like that anyways. The only problem is that when you go to download, say, Super Mario World, you get a .rar file with every version, traslation, and/or hack made.

I downloaded a torrent with every SNES rom ever in it. Just do that.

[Matt Young]

I'm no good with torrents. But yes, I've been trying to download mainly first party Nintendo games like Mario. Some of the links posted, I have been to, but quite a few, I have not. Thanks for posting them. I'll check 'em out. And Lushus, thanks for the offer. I'm looking forward to that.

[Matt Young]

Anyone know how can use my wired 360 controller for zSNES? I used to have an adapter for a PS1 controller that worked fine, but it's gone. The PC detects the 360 controller, but won't let me use it for the emulator.

[Black Lushus]

unless they update zSNES (and who knows, they might have, I haven't checked), I don't think you can use the 360 controller.

Try whatever they say there. I wouldn't know from personal experience.

[Matt Young]

Thanks. Geedorah. It's working now.

 

So basically, most of the good games are ESA protected. I sent messages to Black Lushus, but since I keep finding more missing from the list, here's a running tally of what I'm looking for:

 

All Mario games- All Stars, World, Paint, Kart, RPG, etc.

Legend of Zelda

Super Metroid

Kirby

Final Fantasy III

Earthbound

Super Punch-Out!!!

[AntiLeaf33]

I have Super Metroid and Mario RPG for zSNES. I'm at work now, but I got them at 3roms.com

 

Mario RPG has froze up on me once, but I was playing Super Metroid for a good 3 hours last night without a hitch.

[Black Lushus]

in regards to my response to your PM, Matt, I missed wehre you said you wanted RPG, I have that as well....I'll hook you up later.

[Kristianna]

I'd try RomNation.net if I were you. That's where I get all my NES, Genesis and SNES games.

[Black Lushus]

the problem is, most Nintendo first party games are under that ESA deal no matter where you look. I'm almost positive RomNation has the same thing going on. I usuallyy use them or CoolRoms.com. Kristi, did you recently use RomNation? Again, I haven't DLed a ROM in at least a year so things may have changed?

Yeah, sorry. I guess I hadn't been there in a long time. My bad.

[Matt Young]

Thanks to Kristianna, Anti-Leaf, and especially Black Lushus for the help.

 

Can anyone hook me up with Earthbound and/or Final Fantasy III? Venk, I'm looking at you.

[Agent_Bond34]

I have some of these games as well, but you may already have them.

 

Mario Kart, Mario RPG, Mario World, Super Metroid, Zelda, etc.

[Black Lushus]

I have FF3 also.

[Matt Young]

Apparently, Killer Instinct and Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage are protected as well. Wha determines which games are protected?

 

Anyway, Lushus, I will be home all night. I'm not sure what you and the wife have planned, but assuming you are available, how should we go about doing this? I'd imagine it wouldn't take long since the files are small.

[Black Lushus]

shit...once you have kids, going on dates on Valentine's Day is a thing of the past!

I agree with the posters up above--gaffling a "full" (relative term) set is alot easier and less time-consuming than hunting around for individual files, but you can try this:

I have no idea what it is or where it came from, so I'm not vouching for it--but it's massive.

 

Did a quick test and it's up and running, though a cursory glance at the SNES section reveals a fucking mess. There's like every version of every game ever made--all unzipped, and it's a pain to navigate. But if you want some shit it's probably there.
