        Ghosts 'n Goblins, which is a DLC for the free app Capcom Arcade Stadium, comes with an arcade romset (is that how you call it?). The files match those that MAME 2003 expects.

        Ghosts 'n Goblins's page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1556690/Capcom_Arcade_StadiumGhosts_n_Goblins/
        Capcom Arcade Stadium's page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1515950/Capcom_Arcade_Stadium/

        To get the files, after you install the base app and the DLC, go to [Steam install folder]/steamapps/common/Capcom Arcade Stadium/dlc and extract the contents of the file re_dlc_stm_1556690.pak with a tool for managing compressed file (I only had luck with Linux's "unzip" tool, but feel free to test with other tools, such as 7-Zip).

        Then, for these files to be readable with MAME 2003, you'll need to build the ROM with them.

        For that, first get the xml dat file with the right information for the romset, such as file names and expected SHA-1 checksum. Libretro's fork of MAME 2003 has such a dat file: https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/blob/master/metadata/mame2003.xml
        Then follow the instructions listed in the "ClrMamePro tutorial" here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Validating%2C-Rebuilding%2C-and-Filtering-ROM-Collections/#clrmamepro-tutorial

        Some observations:
        You can also manually check the SHA-1 checksum of the files, if you want.
        And in the Rebuilder, setting the merge options to Non-Merged and unticking Separate BIOS sets in the Advanced... button made the game work fine.
        And if the program complains about "Scanner and Rebuilder mergenodes differ", just click on "Yes".

        After you do the process, the tool will output 25 zip files, but only gng.zip is functional.
        I guess that happens because Ghosts'n Goblins comes with multiple files that appear in other romsets, so the tool probably tries to create the games whose files match their romsets, whether or not they're complete.

        Lastly, there are more DLCs for Capcom Arcade Stadium that likely work the same, but as I don't own them, I can't check.

          Amiga Forever for the kickstart roms and some games.

          Is there any source other than forums that says that Amiga Forever may sell Amiga's OS-related files? I'm having a hard time finding anything.

          And if Amiga Forever is indeed allowed to sell these files, then it seems to be one of the few, if not the only legit source of Workbench files (due to aging and data rot), which are needed for some games, such as Black Dawn 7 (included in the Black Dawn collection mentioned in the post #321).

            How about Wikipedia > AmigaOS > 4th paragraph > Sources [1] and [2]?

              @clyde I saw the site from source 1 but for some reason I wasn't sure it was legit. Thanks for confirming it.

                From what I read in both the game's pages and in the forum I saw this game, Nox Archaist comes with an Apple II ROM:
                https://6502workshop.itch.io/nox-archaist
                https://store.steampowered.com/app/1509080/Nox_Archaist/
                https://www.gog.com/game/nox_archaist

                Update: Checked the GOG version, and it's an Apple IIgs ROM.

                In case someone's not sure, here's how to run Nox Archaist in emulators specifically made for running Apple IIgs:

                Download the game's goodie/extra Apple II hard drive and floppy disk images (it's a zip file with the needed file; not sure how it's included on Itchio or Steam), extract Nox Archaist HDV (v114).HDV to somewhere you can find later, open the emulator, open the settings menu (F4 in KEGS, for example), set the file you extracted in the slot s7d1 (navigate with the up and down arrow keys, and confirm with enter; no need to place anything else in the other slots), then restart the emulator. It'll boot straight into the game.

                You can also set a bootable disk as s7d1 and Nox Archaist HDV (v114).HDV as s7d2, but then you'll have to open Apple IIgs' desktop, open the folder/icon named NOXARCHAIST and open the file NOXARCH.SYSTEM to open the game.

                You could also edit the emulator's config file directly, but at least setting the files through the emulator's options ensures the paths are correct.

                Also, you need to mount the Apple IIgs' firmware ROM as well. As far as I know, it's a type of BIOS, so you need to get it from your own Apple IIgs machine.

                And lastly, what the devs said about safely exiting the game/emulator/computer:

                just use the Q key to Quick save to either slot 1 or 2. Then it is safe to just close the emulator or turn off your Apple II.

                  Is The Silver Case emulated in any way or does it contain PC-98 files in its assets like some ScummVM games do?

                  I saw a mention that the game was released on PC-98 as well, but I don't know how to check the game's assets (it uses Unity in the Steam/GOG release) and I don't even know what files I should be looking for.

                    Intellivision Lives! for Windows 95/Power Macintosh is a collection of 50 Intellivision roms on CD-ROM from 1998. The BIOS files are also on the disc. No need to install the program, just get exec.bin and grom.bin from the root folder and put those in your BIOS folder. Then go to INTYPC>INTYTECH>BINARIES to get the roms (they're organized in folders by game genre).

                    The collection isn't too hard to find at a good price. Don't confuse it with Intellivision Lives! for various consoles or Intellivision Greatest Hits for PC/Mac (not sure if the latter would have ROMS, but it does have less games).

                    Edit: The BIOS files are in uppercase. To work with RetroPie, rename them in lowercase.

                      On the topic of physical compilations of ROMs (sorry for the massive post in advance), the US release of Sonic Mega Collection Plus for PS2, GameCube and likely PC (only released as a physical edition) includes 17 ROMs, 11 for Mega Drive and 6 for Game Gear, and even a BIOS needed to run special modes in some Mega Drive games.

                      I learned the base for the process here: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30647
                      But it still required a lot of figuring things out and far more time than I'm proud to admit.

                      I used the PS2 version, but it should work more or less the same in the other releases. (Will need to adapt the process with the tools available for your platform of choice.) Also, I'll check later if I can extract the BIOS from the Steam release of Sonic 3 & Knuckles as well.

                      And I couldn't figure out how to do the process on Linux, since apparently Unix systems handle RAM way different than Windows.

                      If you have this collection on the PS2 and want to extract the ROMs included, you'll need a few things: a bunch of PS2 save utility tools (listed during the process), a save with everything unlocked (Gamefaqs should have it), PCSX2, a hex editor and a computer that can handle PS2 emulation (doesn't matter if it's laggy).

                      First, how to get the full save into PCSX2:

                      Step 1:
                      If you got the save from a real PS2, skip this step.
                      If you got a PSV file (PS2 save generated in the PS3), get the program PSV Exporter:
                      https://www.ps2savetools.com/download/psv-exporter/
                      Then extract the tool, open it, click in "File", click in "Open PSV file", choose the file and, once loaded (should load fast), click on "File" again, click in "Extract all files" and choose the output directory.
                      It should output 3 files, one called "BASLUS-2091700" (no extension), one called "icon.sys" and one called "LIST.ICO".

                      Step 2:
                      Get the program PS2 Save Builder:
                      https://www.ps2savetools.com/download/ps2-save-builder/
                      Then open it, drag into it the 3 files you got either from an actual PS2 or the PS3's PSV file, type the name of the file without extension in the field to the right of "Root/ID" (such as BASLUS-2091700 for the US release), click in "file", click in "save as", type a name of your choice (doesn't matter what you type), select the file type as "AR MAX V3 (*.max)", choose the output folder and confirm.

                      Step 3:
                      Open PCSX2, open the Memory Card Manager and create a new memory card. Name whatever you want.
                      Also make sure it says "yes" in the "Formatted" column.
                      If it isn't formatted, while still inside the Memory Card Manager, select the the memory card, click in the "Insert" button and put in either the port 1 or 2 (doesn't matter which).
                      Then exit the Manager, click in "CDVD" option in PCSX2's main window and select "No Disc".
                      Then click in "System" in the main window and click in "Boot BIOS".
                      Then, in the emulation screen, wait for it to load, then click in "Browser".
                      Then open the memory card you inserted in the manager before (e.g. if you inserted it in Port 1, it'll be "Memory Card (PS2)/1").
                      It'll say the memory card is unformatted and it'll ask if you want to format it now. Choose "Yes".
                      Then close the emulator.

                      Step 4:
                      Download myMC:
                      http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca:11068/mymc/
                      Open it. If it complains about missing dll's or if it closes right after being opened, get both msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll and place them in the same folder as mymc.exe.
                      Then select the memory card you created in Step 3.
                      Then click on the memeory card symbol with a green arrow to its left.
                      Then open the .max file you created in Step 2. The program will automatically inject the save in the memory card and save the changes.
                      Close the program.

                      Now you have the full save in PCSX2.

                      Then the main part, extracting the ROMs.
                      First read the base process (first link). I'll be using the tool the creator of the original post suggested, HxD.

                      To make it easier for extracting the Genesis/Mega Drive ROMs, here's the expected lengths:

                      Sonic The Hedgehog: 80000
                      Sonic The Hedgehog 2: 100000
                      Sonic The Hedgehog 3: 200000
                      Sonic & Knuckles: 200000
                      Sonic 3D Blast: 400000
                      Sonic Spinball: 100000
                      Dr.Robotinik's Mean Bean Machine: 100000
                      Flicky: 20000
                      Ristar: 200000
                      Comix Zone: 200000
                      The Ooze (only Genesis game from this collection not released on Steam as well): 100000

                      To get Game Gear games, as well as Sonic & Knuckles UPMEM ROM (the lock on BIOS I mentioned in the beginning), the steps change a bit:

                      1 - Press Ctrl F, go to the first tab (text) and look for a text I'll be referring to as "text to look for" (it'll always be the first result)
                      2 - Once you find the first result, click click in the beggining of its line in the hex table (pressing the "Home" button also works)
                      3 - Hold the shift key and start pressing either the up arrow key or the page up key until the "lenght(h)" value in the botton of the window is the value I specify for that game (I'll be calling it "backwards value").
                      4 - Click in the beginning of the top line of your selection from the previous step (home key works again), then press Ctrl E and put the lenght in hexadecimal value as you'd do with the Genesis/Mega Drive games.
                      5 - Copy the hex table, open a new tab in HXD, then paste the table in this new tab, which you'll be saving as a .gg file.

                      Needed information:

                      BIOS (name it sk2chip.bin instead of a .gg file):
                      Text to look for (yes, this text sample is right): ÀÿØ!üs2mdÿü
                      Backwards value: 70
                      Lenght: 40000

                      Sonic The Hedgehog:
                      Text to look for: game gear
                      Backwards value: FFC0
                      Lenght: 40000

                      Sonic Labyrinth:
                      Text to look for: TMR SEGA
                      Backwards value: 7FF0
                      Lenght: 80000

                      Sonic Drift:
                      Text to look for: DRIFT (C) SEGA
                      Backwards value: 990
                      Lenght: 80000

                      Sonic Chaos:
                      Text to look for: GG SONIC¥CHAOS
                      Backwards value: C0
                      Lenght: 80000

                      Sonic Blast:
                      Text to look for: GG SONIC 96
                      Backwards value: C0
                      Lenght: 100000

                      Dr.Robotinik's Mean Bean Machine:
                      Text to look for: TMR SEGA
                      Backwards value: 7FF0

                        Something I forgot about the BIOS:
                        If you plan to use it, Sonic & Knuckles' ROM needs to go with it in the emulator's BIOS folder.
                        And at least Genesis Plus GX on Retroarch expects the two files to be named properly.
                        The lock on BIOS should be named sk2chip.bin, and Sonic & Knuckles' ROM should be named sk.bin, and their sizes should be 256 KB and 2048 KB, respectively.

                        ################################################################################

                        And I couldn't find sk2chip.bin's code in Sonic 3 & Knuckles' ROM from Steam, but I found something interesting:

                        If you paste Sonic & Knuckles' hex table to a new file, then you paste another game's hex table in this new file immediately after, you get ROMs that automatically load in special modes without the BIOS files placed in the emulator's BIOS folder.

                        The possible combinations I know of:

                        Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 3 = Sonic 3 & Knuckles
                        Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 2 + sk2chip.bin (add in this order) = Knuckles in Sonic 2
                        Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 1 = Blue Sphere (and you can choose the map's random generation seed freely)
                        Sonic & Knuckles + any other game = Blue Sphere (with static random generation seeds that change from game to game)

                        ################################################################################

                        Lastly, a question:

                        Did anyone manage to extract Sonic Adventure DX's ROMs from the Steam release?
                        It's listed in romextract's scripts, but I can't extract it (gives some error about prxstool and temp folders, even if I build the tool and place in the romextract's tools folder).
                        I also can't extract it with either WinRAR, 7-Zip or Linux's program Nautilus.

                          EDIT: The Uninvited for Macintosh might have some issues? It crashes for me after a certain point. The Apple IIgs works fine after the same point.

                          Little update:
                          It seems the emulator I was using to test (Basilisk II) is borked. It would freeze until I killed its process whenever a game (not just The Uninvited) would play sounds.
                          I tested another emulator (Mini vMac) and all 4 MacVenture games appeared to run fine.

                            Studio Vetea distributes some ROMs on Itchio.

                            The ones where I don't mention languages are available only in English.

                                  I'm wondering if Apple 2 and/or Atari 2600 games are legally available?

                                  Nox Archaist comes with an Apple II ROM
                                  (...)
                                  Also, apparently, the games from the MacVenture series have Apple II ROMs
                                  (...)

                                  I got the information a bit wrong at that time:
                                  Nox Archaist and the MacVenture series include Apple IIgs ROMs, and not Apple II ROMs.
                                  Sorry for the confusion.

                                  And talking about the Apple IIgs...

                                  @themazingness said in Where to (legally) acquire content to play on RetroPie:

                                  Lawless Legends is a cRPG for Apple II that is far into development and is open for testing: http://www.lawlesslegends.com/

                                  Ancient Legends is a complete cRPG for Apple II in the same engine: https://8bitweapon.com/2016/07/21/our-rpg-ancient-legends-released

                                  Both games come with an Apple IIgs version as well. The ROMs are the .2mg files "Ancient Legends - 800k version.2mg" and "game.2mg" (this last one is Lawless Legends)

                                  Ancient Legends is available in their Github page (and I didn't need to repack it to run in the emulator I use): https://github.com/badvision/lawless-legends/blob/master/Example Content/Ancient Legends/Disk images/Ancient Legends - 800k version.2mg

                                  Lawless Legends is available on the devs' Dropbox (linked in their site, http://www.lawlesslegends.com/).

                                  And if you don't boot the Apple IIgs emulator straight into the games, their executables are the .SYSTEM files inside them.

                                    The ROM is the file "game" in the folder [Steam install folder]/Super Hunchback/res (add the extension .gb to it and, if you want, rename it as well).

                                    The MacVenture series (Apple IIgs and Macintosh 68K/Mac II), which include Déjà Vu 1 and 2, Shadowgate and The Uninvited, is available on a "build your own bundle" from Fanatical, an official Steam key seller:

                                    Just to remind, the extraction methods for the MacVenture series:

                                    With a tool for managing and extracting compressed files, such as 7-Zip or Ubuntu's default zip manager (works with The Uninvited, even if the method says otherwise): https://github.com/blorente/MacVenture-Extract-Guide

                                      Take It Racing 2 by R-Doman: https://r-doman.itch.io/take-it-racing-2
                                      Platform: GameBoy
                                      The ROM is the file "game.gb" inside the downloadable zip file (feel free to rename it, but keep the .gb extension).
