Game Sources
This page aims to list all legal options of obtaining ROMs for emulators and any other games playable on SBCs.
This page is a work-in-progress and we know more games need to be added to the list. We also hope to add info on ROM dumping and ROM hacks soon.
We link to and recommend buying games from GOG or Itch.io when possible due to their lack of DRM and (in GOG's case) overall better releases of games (such as including music that some re-releases omit due to publishers not wanting to pay royalties to composers). If a game is not available on GOG or Itch.io, we link to Steam due to their excellent return policy and the fact that most anywhere else will be selling a non-returnable Steam key.
* We are not affiliated with any of the sites linked and do not make any money from said links.**
Free
In some cases, the original owners of certain games have released their games for free non-commercial use.

Thanks to the generosity of a few individuals, MAME has been given permission to distribute a few games.

Paid (Digital)
Many PC game 're-releases' are actually original ROMs packed with some sort of emulator or engine to run them on your computer. As such it is often possible to extract the ROMs from the archive for your own personal use.
Arcade
Neo Geo
Good Old Games
Certain Neo Geo games available on GOG contain ROMs that work perfectly fine with certain emulators available on SBCs, and even include a BIOS. * [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hsNArjYNlurLi5sYheiwv6yY6H5ea9rL/view?usp=sharing DATs for GOG's Neo Geo ROMs]
Verified Good
The following GOG games include the necessary ROMs in either an already functional ROM ZIP or can be used to assemble the functional ROM ZIPs listed below each game, and also include a working BIOS ZIP. All emulators tested followed the criteria of only using the ROMs and BIOS included with each game. FB Alpha v0.2.97.44 was the version tested of the active libretro emulators named lr-fbalpha. MAME 0.207 was the version tested of lr-mame and is no longer compatible with the included BIOS.

Verified Bad
The following GOG games below do not include the necessary ROMs to assemble any working ROM ZIPs.
- King of Fighters '98 - Ultimate Match - Final Edition
- This is a remake of the original KOF98: this release does not contain any Neo Geo ROMs.
- King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match
- This is a remake of the original KOF2002: this release does not contain any Neo Geo ROMs.
- King of Fighters XIII - Galaxy Edition
- This is a newer installment in the series: this release does not contain any Neo Geo ROMs.
Windows Extraction Method
Extraction using something like InnoExtract on the Windows offline executable only works half the time due to some Windows versions of the Neo Geo games using unemulatable modified ROM files, while this method works 100% of the time.
- Download the Linux offline installer for the Neo Geo game you want to obtain the ROM from. For these instructions, Metal Slug's "gog_metal_slug_2.0.0.2.sh" Linux offline installer will be used as an example.
- Download Cygwin. https://www.cygwin.com/
- Install Cygwin. If you are having trouble downloading when you reach "Choose a Download Site", then refer to Cygwin's Mirror Sites List and choose a mirror close to your location. When it asks which Packages to install, type “unzip” into the search and find it in the “archive” category from there.
- Run Cygwin, then type a command like below. Change the path so that it matches wherever you downloaded the Linux offline installer to.
unzip "D:Downloadsgog_metal_slug_2.0.0.2.sh" -d
- From here, you just need to locate the folder where the game files were extracted to. If you used the default path during installation of Cygwin, then the 64-bit path would be like below.
C:cygwin64home<Currently Logged In Windows Username Here>datanoarchgame
The 32-bit installation would be like below.
C:cygwinhome<Currently Logged In Windows Username Here>datanoarchgame
- The files you need will be ZIP files. For Metal Slug, this would be "mslug.zip", while the "neogeo.zip" is the BIOS and is required to run all Neo Geo games.
Refer to the Verified Good list of games above if you need help locating a game's ZIP by name. You only need one copy of "neogeo.zip": all the games verified to work so far use an identical version of the BIOS. Some ROMs or even the BIOS may need to be run through CLRMAMEPRO to make them usable in your chosen emulator.
Linux (Ubuntu) Extraction Method
- Download the Linux offline installer for the Neo Geo game you want to obtain the ROM from. For these instructions, Metal Slug's "gog_metal_slug_2.0.0.2.sh" Linux offline installer will be used as an example.
- Go to wherever you downloaded the Linux offline installer to, then right click and open the Terminal there.
- Enter the following command
for i in * .sh; do mkdir -p "${i%%.sh}"; unzip "${i}" -d "${i%%.sh}"; done
- From here, navigate to the following new directory.
gog_metal_slug_2.0.0.2.shdatanoarchgame
- The files you need will be ZIP files. For Metal Slug, this would be "mslug.zip", while the "neogeo.zip" is the BIOS and is required to run all Neo Geo games.

It is said in the Steam discussions that the games can be extracted from the "Anthology.exe" using WINRAR, but there are conflicting reports on this. Which games are available for Amiga is also unknown.
Cinemaware Anthology might be a better value. Extraction of the ROM is done simply by using WINRAR on the EXE.
