Ang4th Posted April 9 Posted April 9 hi there am new here and to visual pinball but i have learned a lot this week, but now the problem I am having is finding games with Roms . Yes I use google but most are on VPVP forums but the dont seem to send me te confirmation email so I am stuck . i made two accounts with different emails and still to no avail . is there any other good sources of Roms ?
Thalamus Posted April 9 Posted April 9 This is the best place for roms to be perfectly honest. Just put the rom name with the zip extension into the search field. Why is this be best place ? Because @CarnyPriest is on top of thing and makes sure that new roms that is supported by pinmame is updated here correctly. On VPF they are stale and not always working. There is however the fact that Gottlieb roms isn't available here or at VPF. That is because Gottlieb is still a company that protect their IP. You may find those roms over at Nirvana though - or hunt roms off archive.org. I recommend that you learn how to use either clrmame pro or romcenter or any other "mame" program that is made for keeping rom collections in shape.

NoizePMP Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Maybe my post is a couple of months late. You can also try the Internet Archive. Lot's of roms and VPX files. The search option does not always find results, but this is because not everything is in the right catagory and roms are inside other files like ZIP. Using a Google search with +internet archive can be effective. If you know a site that existed way back and hosted ROMS, but are now offline, you can try the wayback machine. This wil not work if the files where hosted on some other site or the site was not archived. Thalamus is right about Gottlieb and protecting its products. Still it is not impossible to find things and have some luck. One day it is online and the other day it is deleted. What roms are you looking for?
