MemberI’ve seen some at http://www.emulationstation.com. Most ROM sites have games for Project 64. I had no luck finding Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time though…. v_v

ParticipantLol, I know Tigerblade- N64 roms are hard to find. I spent like a half-hour looking for them, and the most descent-looking site I found was something called “Rom paradise.” I can’t remember the exact web-address, and I don’t want to spend another half-hour looking for it, So I’m gonna leave all of the searching up to you. Even on google it took me a while to find.

Participantwell I think this is the site you found, ROM Paradise but i’m having trouble actually getting to the ROMs… supposedly it should be connecting to an FTP site, but it keeps timing out

ParticipantNo, it was another one. It would show you a username and password to log in with and the ROM’s were easy to get to.

MemberOne I found said you had to have a GameSpy account….then you could d/l and d/l for free…but I think GameSpy makes you pay a ton…so I just cancelled making the ID
I just want Super Mario 64…and maybe some other Mario games
EDIT: Hurri- I just found Ocarina of time on this site…don’t know if it will work or not and I don’t think the site has anything naughty on it so I’ll post it here for you.
http://www.hostultra.com/~romnation/n64.htm😉 Hope it works…I haven’t been able to even get the things to install from other sites.

MemberRarely do I find any ROMs off of Google. If you know what you are looking for, for example Megaman for SNES, then the Geocities member directory search helps. Searching google seems to only turn up crap. I dunno bout N64 ROMs on Geocities, but it’s worth a shot. It is easy to find old Mario ROMs like Super Mario RPG, Mario World, All Stars, everything. I may start putting collections on my server for people to get…I’ll look into that.

Quote:quote:The user name for the N64 roms is n64 and the password is roms…we will change it every week for safety! The ftp will be up most time! You may not steal this roms for your own page or us any typ of ftp program for download because if you is , you will be banned for life! For downloading you must right click on the link below and press on *open page in new window than write in the user name and password! Max rom download per person for the N64 roms a day is 4! Brake the rules and be banned! PS the roms will be as there orginal rom name so you know, but they all work. Enjoy it. 🙂sounds like a username and password to log in with to me, and opening the link it gives in a new window opens up windows explorer, but it cant find the ftp site

ParticipantIt was a different one, I swear! and the roms actually worked. The homepage didn’t look like that one’s either, and neither did the layout.

MemberWell, if you go to the link I gave Hurricane on the previous page, you will find that these work for N64…I’ve tried two and they work quite well with Project 64…..:D the link goes straight to the N64 d/l’s…they have other kinds as well…and the menu is there on the left to get to those as well.

MemberPlease excuse my stupidity, but what are emulators and ROM’s? I have PS2 if that would help explaining it to me, I dont know…Someone please help.

MemberEmulators are like, programs that let you run ROMs (which are games). If you download a PS2 Emulator, then you can play PS2 ROMs on it. Like if you bought a PS2 at the store, you can play PS2 games on it. You can’t just have ROMs either. You need the emulator and the ROM.
July 13, 2004 at 6:46 pm #48285colin
MemberThanks for the quick reply. Let me make sure I got this straight. So if I download a PS2 emulator, can I play PS2 games on my PC with the ROM?
July 13, 2004 at 6:59 pm #48276Hurricane22491
MemberIf you download the ROM too, then you can. But I wouldn’t recommend doing that. I tried it once, and the only games you can find are mostly old, simple ones. And they are hard to find too. I would just stick to emulating older systems like Sega Genesis or SNES. Probably not anything newer than N64 or PS1, because it gets harder to find good ROMs as you continue to go up the game system list.

MemberI also have a Sega Saturn. Is there a particular emulator that someone reccomends for it?
July 13, 2004 at 7:51 pm #48277Hurricane22491
MemberI’ve heard that Saturne is a pretty good Sega Saturn emulator. Would probably be worth giving a try.
