I know many of you have been waiting for this but the time has finally come for a new TopRoms release. I was hoping to release something like this earlier, but some of may know that life happened. However, we can put that aside for now and announce this exciting edition.
What's New:
- A Super Famicom collection for some of the most amazing Japanese RPGs patched and translated into English by fans. I got so many requests for Final Fantasy V, so obviously, it's in there!
- Homebrew games for the NES. It's amazing how there are still some fan developers who make games for a thirty-plus year old console. I only included freely available homebrew games since many of them are still for sale.
- The addition of some of the best sport games ever released both franchise and non-franchise titles. For the NES, Genesis (in its own folder) and PlayStation (in its own folder too).
- A sprinkling of some additions of more great games for various systems. Things that have been suggested by you and others that I've discovered.
What's Fixed:
- Moving the MAME collection from split to merged so that all games have their dependencies included in the ROM archive. Some games wouldn't start without them and it's really hard to tell what game needs what, especially with how big the MAME collection is.
I got many emails about people showing me how they use the collection such as turning the Steam Deck or Switch into a mean emulation machine, filling their dedicated emulation handhelds, or to populate their HTPC with awesome games. I personally use the collection on my smartphone and my HTPC.
One thing to keep in mind is that the only emulator I test TopRoms with is RetroArch. If you have issues with other emulators, let me know and I’ll look into it.
The torrent can be downloaded below or on the TopRoms page. Remember, you can point your torrent client to the existing TopRoms Collections folder and it will only download the changes. Please seed the collection since the initial upload is only on my local server.
