Q&A Mini-Snes and the firmware hack

[Nahkapukki]

I know how to do it but I'm not really keen on Torrenting ROMs. Are there any good ROM sites still up or did Ninny harpoon them all?

I am not going give any link, but if you just search for certain roms on Google you will surely find a site with a working link.

Also linking to illegal download site is probably not allowed

Yeah that's the thing, I just wanted to query what sites don't give me heaps of unknown crap as a side dish.

yup ... that's a no-go, lol

 

[Nahkapukki]

Abandonware sites are illegal too?

Roms are not classified as abandonware. And also Nintendo is selling old games on their e-shop

 

[Nahkapukki]

Oh... I wasn't aware of the distinction between them. Anyways... If Mini-Snes had an online store I'd sure like to use it buut...

Nahkapukki , if it's Nintendo ROMs you're looking to get, the best way is to get one of the "no-intro" collection. You can use the dat-o-matic site to obtain the checksums of the ROMs to compare with the ones you downloaded. The ROM database is also being used by RetroArch so if the ROM is recognised by the database, the game cover/icon will be automatically shown in the GUI.
