You may download a game ROM ONLY if you can do so legally. This means you must own the actual cartridge (or other media the ROM was distributed on) of the ROM you are downloading. Under the copyright laws of the U.S., you are entitled to own a backup of any software you have paid for. Since ROMS cannot be backed up without expensive machines that not everyone has access to, the ROM images that are linked to here, are provided to the public as a service. Most countries have similar laws but it is your responsibility to know the laws of the country you reside in. You will NEVER sell these ROMS for profit. Most game companies don't mind the distribution of their game's ROMS because they no longer exist, but they WILL mind if someone sells them. You will NOT distribute ROMS together with emulators as a package. This is VERY important. Packaging a ROM and an emulator together could get the authors of the emulators into trouble, which would result in no updates to the emulators. You will NEVER hold anyone at This site (including its webmasters and other staff, or anyone else related to this website) or our webhosts responsible for any damage caused to your system, or for any legal actions taken against you for not obeying the above stated rules, or for any other reason. YOU are solely responsible for any and all consequences. This site's sole purpose is to provide a service to those who don't have access to a ROM backup machine (by means of links to ROM sites), but would like to preserve their games.
Where are the ROMs ?
This site has lists of Real ROM sites, but does not actually host ROMs
The ROM Links are listed under "The Rom Links" on the Left.
The best place to start is in the "Mixed ROMs" section

This is the first official version of MAME written in C++ (was C previously), so some things may work a little differently. Support for SDLMAME and 64-bit and Unicode is now inbuilt.
The list of new features for the latest build are to be found at this forum topic.

Mame 0.129u4 and MisfitMAME 0.127.F
Posted by robert on Wednesday, February 18 @ 05:59:23 GMT (509 reads)
The sound cores were changed to devices in MAME, so there may be a fair number of bugs this time around. Also it appears that AGEMAME will merge into MAME. Read HERE.
New MisfitMAME was released, two more MGD2 neogeo versions, and 3 new CPS2 Phoenix sets were included. And, for marathon Pacman players, the level number is shown just under the high score. You can download it from Emu-France.
