If you have a Wii you can download a lot of the classic titles for the Virtual Console.
Downloading ROMs is illegal unless you have the original cartridge, so I would imagine that there has been a crackdown on them since the 3 major
consoles have been rereleasing a lot of old games for their online services.
If you do have the cartridges, P2P services and torrents would be a good place to search for the ROMs.
Yeah I use. coolrom.com...
You beat me to it, By days probably but I only just saw the thread.
Only thing is copyrighted games, (Mario, Zelda And continualy growng list of games on the site) are unplayable.
I used to do the ROM sites...but now with the Virtual Console on the Wii I'm just using that. Something just feels better about playing it on my TV
instead of my computer.
