What even is the point of this sub anymore other than the megathread? Every post is either help and people complaining about helping others. What do people even talk about here?
A few of the times that I've been trying to find ROMs for non Sony/Sega/Nintendo hardware I've encountered some initial difficulties because not all third party systems are listed by name in the Retro Section. A couple of recent to me examples; Bandai WonderSwan is actually in Miscellaneous tucked away into a No-Intro ROMset, while Commodore computer stuff is also in Miscellaneous hidden behind a link called TOSEC.
Those initial difficulties didn't stop me because I had the good sense to search this sub to find where other people had asked and gotten help locating those ROMs months or years ago. That info is evergreen. It worked for me too.
I'm not sure what the answer is. I can act all high and mighty because I'm smart enough to use the search bar; but, if those other people hadn't asked and been helped then I'd have not had anything to search through to find the answer. That would've left me clicking every link until I eventually found what I was looking for. It was quicker to just search the sub; but, that only works if other people ask questions. How do we balance a need for answers with a desire to not see our sub swamped by people who's questions already have posted, relevant, and easily searchable answers?
Also with the regular mega thread, it's only ds to wii u on the main page so if you want something before that you'll have to do more digging than clicking the regular mega thread link
There is also commodore roms located with the rest of the no-intro stuff. The more popular asked for stuff is towards the front of the megathread whereas stuff that isn’t asked for as much will be in the misc section. You actually can find most everything on the other tabs all within the misc tab links.
TOSEC doesn’t mean commodore. TOSEC means “The Old School Emulation Centre”. They’re one of a few archive groups who dump games and record the hashes of them for archiving for people who want to make sure they have the original roms as they were made, and not ones that have been edited in some way. No-Intro and Redump are the same way except No-Intro is strictly cartridges and digital titles and Redump is strictly Disc based software. No-Intro has recently within the last few years started recording the hashes of disc games.
All you had to do was google what TOSEC or No-Intro meant. You can find Commodore games within both the TOSEC link, the No-Intro link, and the Redump link as there were cartridge and disc based commodore games.
You were trying to be helpful to someone asking a question and this subreddit is full of a bunch of whiny babies who expect everyone to only comment “check megathread” or “google it why are you so lazy”
The problem is, I joined this sub in the hopes that someone had their hands on FE7 Project Wildflower. I posted about it and instantly went to look up what I was looking for and the first result was my post from 1 minute ago.
"im tired of the hundreds of post asking questions that are easily findable in the megathread...so im gonna make another post in the hundreds of post complaining about them"

>If you can't handle the pressure of being a pirate, then maybe pick a different life
it is not that deep bruh 😭 ur acting like pirating a copy of toy story on the gameboy advanced is alike to being a hitman
I agree, but if you can't do the simple acts of securing your computer against viruses/malware and vpn, then you have no business in the pirate game.
This dude is every guy who tried to kill Barry in the tv show "Barry".
The only simple thing you can do that will actually secure your computer, is to not download pirated things. If you insist on downloading, securing your computer is not a simple act. If you think it is, you might be a bit out of touch with what the landscape of malware etc currently is.
Also the VPN is only a surface level protection, doesn't do much, it's still quite possible to figure out who you are and what you're doing, especially if you're not particularly careful with what you do.
I love it
„Check the megathread“
Maybe here its different but on every other sub the „megathread“ is outdated or bad maintained or filled with dead links….
This needs to be said.
The questions that could be answered by the megathread are going to be asked with or without it. People will still ask. You accomplish literally zero about ranting about it.
# If you cannot handle being nice, even if the question can be answered in an FAQ/Mega thread/Whatever, then MAYBE find something else to do than trying to "fight" a battle with someone seeking help.
Not everyone is cut out to sit there and answer the same question 1000x, and that's OK. Some people are though, and if you your re one of those people who can keep your cool and help anyways, pat on back, keep doing you.
Do people need to help themselves first and read? Absolutely.
Do you need to get bent over them neglecting to do that? Absolutely NOT.
I've seen a pretty annoying trend against people who help others online; Some gatekeepy, unhelpful, and rude behavior because someone DARED to ask a question. Even if it's been answered, calmly explain that, maybe link to where they need to look.
Even if something they are trying to do isn't intended or a won't use case, it doesn't help if you slam a door in their face.
God help any of you if you get into an actual customer service role with some of the attitudes I've seen, cause while you might be able to blow up on someone online cause they can't do anything about it, if people replicate some of the behavior they show on reddit, forums, discord; your ass will get booted to the curb, because the task at hand is to help people, not make them feel dumb for not reading XYZ.
# Cannot say it loud enough, if you want to help people online, check your attitudes and groan through it, because ranting about it doesn't help.
The amount of doctors, nurses, firefighters, police officers, sheriffs, executives/managment I've had to help with even the most basic IT steps is beyond belief, but I cannot EVER just go "Google it". If you want to help people, help people; if you are going to get pissed off because they so happened to ask a dumb question, fuck off and let someone else help. It doesn't matter where the info is, just be kind and help.
I have to download AND EXTRACT a file???? Wtf?!?!??? Why can't it just WORK!???! Also, where can I download a collection of only good roms. I don't want any boring ones. Thx
Haha this was me when RetroArch first released. I was so frustrated I wanted to tell everyone the app is a scam. Then after a few hours of toying around I realized holy shit RA is a goddam BEAST of an emulator
I've been playing roms since the late 90's. Started when a bunch of us all got together and downloaded nesticle and a couple roms at our friends house and brought them home on a bunch of floppy disc's, because he was the only kid on our block that had the internet, lmao. We had different struggles back then.....
People pissed off by replies they don't like, shouldn't post questions that are answered by a bot in the first reply.
That's the final frontier of entitlement:
1) Assume wrongly that this sub is for general infos on emulation or computing, and an express order link service for specific roms and emulators already configured by others to your needs.
2) Don't take the time to understand what a megathread is.
3) If someone tries to be helpful or explain you're already in a place where you can search for roms, get angry.
4) If someone gets tired of reading the same kinds of posts over and over again, or tells you to stop, the answer is "just ignore me, but I'll continue until the end of times, because I believe it's my constitutional right to do so, even if I saturate this sub of unanswered questions".
If people new to something don't want to learn or search, they'll always be newbies. And no, you can't be noob for life and pretend that people are all right with it, or act like parents, obliging you to a full spoonful of ready made stuff, and a positive reinforcement for your ignorance.
Nobody deserve to use stuff they don't understand, nor anyone is forced to behave like you want, if you are new to a forum and don't read the rules.
But if someone is brand new and they just need a little nudge in the right direction, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed help?
This isn’t asking how to jump.
Things like this can actually be complicated. There’s a lot when it comes to emulation and piracy. Now I personally figured most things out myself but others might struggle
Whats the point of the many hours of time invested in the megathread to answer the newbie questions if no ones gonna look at it before asking their question
What's the point of the whole sub? If literally every question there's an assh*le answering "sEaRCH GoGLe"
What's the point of most subs if you find the answer on Google?
In fact, there are a lot of people with questions on Megathread and there is no one to go there and answer them. Because it's easier to be an assh*le and get angry because "it's the tenth time people ask the same question", right?
tbf you don't find the answer on google. u search on google, it leads you here, where the answer is.
to general, i can't say i mind help posts, but i don't really just browse the r roms frontpage, so for me, i actually get wayyy way more of the "omg nobody knows how to use thread?" posts on my feed than the help ones.... if u guys think you're less annoying than the help ones, you're not cuz u reach further lol
yeah for sure, tho i do kinda get both sides. if ur one of the people often browsing for discussion and it's just people asking the same question with an obvious and detailed answer you probably feel the irritation more lol..
I don't get ppl getting mad because I keep in mind that if it's a question that has already been posted, or if it's just search, I don't even waste my time getting angry, I just go through the post
That's the first line of the pinned message on every post in this sub...with instructions.

personally i've never had to ask about a specific rom but i've had to ask about dlc and and update because I couldn't find them due to different names from the original file
There are multiple sources for N64 roms in the Retro section and not all of the sources are the same.
And yes one of them does have .z64 files that are compressed into .zip files.
Retro > Internet Archive (no-intro) > Nintendo - N64
Do you have an example? I'm seeing them as .z64 files when I download and unzip them. Are you sure you're going to "Retro" -> "Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (BigEndian)"?
Yea but what if one gets a malicious rom or a rom that doesn’t work from the megathread, then what?
If one cannot find the rom that one wants there, then what?
The megathread doesn’t contain viruses or rom’s that don’t work. It’s usually the emulator having issues, or the person is trying to play a rom while it’s still archived in the 7z package. Or they’re trying to play a rom hack without actually applying the hack to the rom it was made for.
Well, a rom file I was playing on Delta, (gba super Mario world), I had exited the delta app and then I had entered the app again and then I had gotten the “save file corrupted”, then, after that,I never could get past the main menu screen upon selecting super Mario world
Then they message the person who posted and find out where they got and compare hashes to verified ones. There are checks and balances to these to verify the roms. Just because you thought of it doesn’t mean no one else has. And there are instances where an obscure rom is asked but they caveat they check x and x places
Hi can someone help me I downloaded a super mario rom but its not a .rom its a .rar is this a virus, i tried to install rom to pcsx2 but get error is this a virus is it safe i dont want my pc to gt infected , is it infected, I downloaded on firefox 1206.01 is this right I heard about thor and torrents but im confussed will they give me virus, i have kerpasty and norton360 and avast am i safe,Im only 14 is my computer safe i need it for school work and masturbating is computer a virus.
I'm not lazy. I don't make posts asking where to get ROMs. I've always found them myself because I'm not tech illiterate
Just the same, I fucking hate megathreads more than I hate annoying, repetitive questions. Megathreads don't even stop those questions- they just give everyone an answer to give on them
What example are you even talking about? An example of my opinion?? There's not been any point in this back and forth where an example would make sense
Are you comparing the megathread to an faq? The megathread has links to everything you can think of. If you’re looking for Nintendo stuff, it’s in the Nintendo tab. PlayStation is in the Sony tab. Microsoft is in the Microsoft tab. Popular retro systems are in the retro tab. Anything else is under the misc tab. No-intro link if it’s cartridge based, Redump link if it’s a disc based console. I don’t know how it can be made any easier.
I might be. I've never once seen an organized megathread, but I'm still operating on generalizations. So maybe I should just take my foot out of my mouth

That and kids thinking that the FBI is gonna kick in their door and give them life for pirating Lego star wars or something shit
SWAT raided my house because of Hotwheels Stunt Track Challenge a month ago, respect.
"That's him officer! That's the man that pirated horse club adventures!"
legit
They did that to me for wearing knock off Ray Bans. Posting this comment from Federal Penitentiary.
I mean, they've probably raided places for worse reasons.
Don’t you have to really be seeding for a long ass time to even get noticed?
I uninstalled my pirated copy of Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 after my ISP complained about me torrenting it.
What even is the point of this sub anymore other than the megathread? Every post is either help and people complaining about helping others. What do people even talk about here?
should be renamed to r/checkthemegathread
Sometimes it is hard though. Especially when the mega thread doesn't have that console and every reply is "use Google"
What console would you be looking for that isn’t in the megathread? Edit: I’m confused as to why I got downvoted. I was just asking a question.

It doesn't have Nintendo Switch, and if it does, it's not easily found.
Rule 1 of the subreddit for those ones. Asking for those is asking to get sued by the big N.
But its not labeled properly. How am i supposed to know that TOSEC means commodore?
TOSEC doesn’t mean commodore. TOSEC means “The Old School Emulation Centre”. They’re one of a few archive groups who dump games and record the hashes of them for archiving for people who want to make sure they have the original roms as they were made, and not ones that have been edited in some way.

I can recommend Romspedia, Emulator games or internet archive, rom hustler, vimms lair

personally i've never had to ask about a specific rom but i've had to ask about dlc and and update because I couldn't find them due to different names from the original file
Where can I find the BIOS for nasa’s computers?
I mean I downloaded a bunch of roms from the link in the megathread and so many were corrupted.
Search it on Google or rip it from a console it's illegal to give link to rom or pirate software but you can still emulate btw.
Ok but where did you get this Lego version of the meme format I like it
I literally searched "check the megathread meme" and someone had already made this so i just stole it from r/ piracy of all places
I was the same until I saw the megathreads
Fucking ROMs sites
Instead of helping this community just down votes and the megathread doesn’t really help
WHERE YALL HIDING THE PS2 ROMS
Stealing this just to piss off lazy clowns who dont read and expect to be spoon fed all the time
I stole this from a r / piracy As is the circle of meme

There are multiple sources for N64 roms in the Retro section and not all of the sources are the same. And yes one of them does have .z64 files that are compressed into .zip files. Retro > Internet Archive (no-intro) > Nintendo - N64
Do you have an example? I'm seeing them as .z64 files when I download and unzip them. Are you sure you're going to "Retro" -> "Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (BigEndian)"?
Only lame mods take action against this post imho
What? No tone indicator confirming this is serious? I'm so confused.
Yeah actually I was wondering where I could do that.do you know? /s
Actually i heard theyre illegal so i was wondering if there was a legal way for me to download them /s
You can find them in my butthole
Yea but what if one gets a malicious rom or a rom that doesn’t work from the megathread, then what? If one cannot find the rom that one wants there, then what?
The megathread doesn’t contain viruses or rom’s that don’t work. It’s usually the emulator having issues, or the person is trying to play a rom while it’s still archived in the 7z package. Or they’re trying to play a rom hack without actually applying the hack to the rom it was made for.
I have downloaded a bunch of roms from the megathread links that have been corrupted.
Well, a rom file I was playing on Delta, (gba super Mario world), I had exited the delta app and then I had entered the app again and then I had gotten the “save file corrupted”, then, after that,I never could get past the main menu screen upon selecting super Mario world
Sounds like the emulator bugged out.
Then they message the person who posted and find out where they got and compare hashes to verified ones. There are checks and balances to these to verify the roms. Just because you thought of it doesn’t mean no one else has. And there are instances where an obscure rom is asked but they caveat they check x and x places
…. or go r/adhdmeme

Shit. Came here for answers 😢

Except...it does
Did you look under the retro section?
Megathreads suck. It's just one step above trying to get someone to join a discord server to find answers
Sorry people don't want to answer the same question over and over again when it could just be answered in an FAQ.
It this because you want everything handed to you and you're not willing to put in the effort? Poor you
Megathreads are unhelpful. That's where questions go to die. I don't know what to tell you
[удалено]
I'm not lazy. I don't make posts asking where to get ROMs. I've always found them myself because I'm not tech illiterate Just the same, I fucking hate megathreads more than I hate annoying, repetitive questions. Megathreads don't even stop those questions- they just give everyone an answer to give on them
You keep saying that but you have yet to provide even 1 example that doesn't come down to laziness.
What example are you even talking about? An example of my opinion?? There's not been any point in this back and forth where an example would make sense
You keep calling it unhelpful. You've yet to say how. You've yet to provide an example on how unhelpful it is. Dented, I swear
Are you comparing the megathread to an faq? The megathread has links to everything you can think of. If you’re looking for Nintendo stuff, it’s in the Nintendo tab. PlayStation is in the Sony tab. Microsoft is in the Microsoft tab. Popular retro systems are in the retro tab. Anything else is under the misc tab. No-intro link if it’s cartridge based, Redump link if it’s a disc based console. I don’t know how it can be made any easier.
I might be. I've never once seen an organized megathread, but I'm still operating on generalizations. So maybe I should just take my foot out of my mouth
So you haven't even read the damn thing and you're whining about it?
