        Father's Day: https://quantumsheep.itch.io/fathers-day
        Platform: ZX Spectrum
        Has 2 versions which are explained in the page's description.
        The ROMs are the .tap files inside the downloadable .zip files.

        Also includes the source code (the .xml file), which supposedly can be edited and/or compiled to other platforms, as listed in the Lantern engine's site: Amstrad CPC64, Apple IIe, Commodore 64, CP/M, IBM PC/XT, TRS-80 1/3/4, ZX Spectrum and Linux.
        But good luck using the engine, as there's hardly anything online about it, leaving a lot to figure out (and I couldn't even make it work natively on Linux).

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

          Regarding the 50 ROMS from Intellivision Lives!, for some reason the games play fine in RetroArch in Windows 10 but none seem to work on my Pi. I'd be surprised if there isn't a solution, but I haven't found it yet.

          I can confirm that all ROMS from Intellivision Lives!, as well as those from Intellivision Rocks! and Intellivision Greatest Hits all play fine via jzintv. Not sure about freeintv but I’m assuming there’s a way to get them to work with that core as well.

            I tested them with "lr-freeintv" and were working.
            I extracted them from INTY_LIVES.ISO this with sha1sum :
            b2bfdd4d8f3a5a4e56182c81a4709492f9f8607e INTY_LIVES.ISO
            If you use the same ISO it should work.

              @auster I just noticed building the romset of Ghosts 'n Goblins from Capcom Arcade Stadium also generates a second ROM, the Japanese version of the same game.

              The ROM is the file called "makaimug.zip", which is created in the same folder as "gng.zip".

              According to MAME 2003's dat file, the Japanese name and version of the game is Makai-Mura (Japan Revision G).

              I didn't check the other versions of MAME, but it should work fine with MAME 2003.

                Data East Retro Classix are a series of arcade games released on Steam. They include games like Bad Dudes, Burger Time, and Joe & Mac. I have only tested two games so far, but both worked as-is. Bad Dudes worked in Final Burn Neo (first one tried) and Gate of Doom worked in MAME 2013 (second one tried since Final Burn Neo failed). Edit: Joe & Mac - Caveman Ninja worked in MAME 2013 as well. Testing has only been done in RetroArch for Windows, however.

                For the full list, see here: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Data East

                The .zip roms are the located in \steamapps\common\Retro Classix game name\Retro Classix game name_Data\StreamingAssets.

                Now is a good time to get them since it is Steam's summer sale. Though the newly released ones don't have as heavy a discount as the ones that were released a while ago.

                On that note, now is a good time to get many of the games mentioned in this discussion if they are on Steam, GoG, or Humble Bundle (all are having their summer sales). Edit: And itch.io too!

                    And some MS-DOS games that are getting delisted on the 28th and they're 75% off below:

                    Apparently also available on Origin.

                    Syndicate Plus: https://www.gog.com/game/syndicate
                    Includes the expansion, which apparently isn't available anywhere else.

                      @auster Wait, how did you find out they are getting delisted? What about the other Ultima games? I have these two and the freebies on GoG, but not the other Ultima games yet.

                        @themazingness A quick web search shows it on many gaming news sites:

                        https://www.startpage.com/do/search?query=ultima+gog+delisted

                        The source is this GOG forum thread:

                        https://www.gog.com/forum/general/ultima_underworld_12_syndicate_plus_and_syndicate_wars_delisting/

                        Quote: "on publisher's request" – So EA is pulling the games from GOG for yet unknown reasons (some of said news sites mention that EA didn't answer them to this question).

                        edit: Just bought Syndicate Plus & Wars at the current discount of -74%. I already owned UU 1+2. As with past delisted games, they'll remain in your game library after purchase.

                        Thanks to Auster for bringing this up!

                          @themazingness Sorry for the delay, but it's as clyde said, I got the info from the GOG forums. Lately, the GOG staff has been announcing game removals at least a few hours before it's done. It's a bit hard to spot due to the forum's layout, but these removal posts are always stickied/pinned posts until the game gets removed, so if any game's on countdown to be removed, you can just look for "sticky" with ctrl f or similar functions and you'll find their posts.

                          Comes with two .nes ROMs, one inside a downloadable .rar file and one that's uncompressed and ready to be used. Not sure what's the difference between them, and maybe they have multiple languages, but I can't check right now.

                            First, a question:

                            Would it be interesting to list games made in the RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 engines, in case the Easy RPG core from Retroarch gets ported to RetroPie? Or would it be best not to, either because no emulator is available on RetroPie yet, or, like with MS-DOS, there are too many games to list?

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

                            Now some more games:

                            I don't own the game, but the list of downloadable files mentions the extensions, .crt, .prg, .d64 and .tap, all compatible with C64 emulators.

                              Ghosts 'n Goblins, which is a DLC for the free app Capcom Arcade Stadium, comes with an arcade rom

                              Update about it: it seems Capcom locked the DLC files, so you can no longer build ROMs from it.

                                First, a question:

                                Would it be interesting to list games made in the RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 engines, in case the Easy RPG core from Retroarch gets ported to RetroPie? Or would it be best not to, either because no emulator is available on RetroPie yet, or, like with MS-DOS, there are too many games to list?

                                I'd endorse the latter, as I'm only interested in games that are directly supported by the current RetroPie. And systems like DOS or custom game engines would blow up the list unproportionally. Just my two cents.

                                  Nice! I beat American McGee's Alice approx. 20 years ago, but I never played its sequel Madness Returns. That port makes me think if I should go hunting for the Windows version, too (or just ask the friend who I know to own a copy of it 😉 ).

                                  And that's why we need the whole gaming preservation movement 🙁 (and offline backups of all your "cloud" data and "purchased" software.)

                                    First, a heads up in case someone doesn't know yet:

                                    At least on desktop browsers, the forum has an in-build search function where you can look in a thread for messages that include specific words.
                                    To use this function, with the thread open make sure it's selected (just click on anywhere on the text of any message from the thread), then press Ctrl F (not sure if it's browser-specific), type/paste the word you want to look for and press enter.
                                    And mind that the more words you type, the less accurate the search will be.

                                    Also, to go to the next/previous result, click in the arrows in the top right of the screen:

                                    a39860da-6142-412e-a284-28cc6bb6731d-image.png

                                    Just mind it gets partially covered if you are not at the very top of the thread:

                                    766f287f-f373-4547-ab2f-a41628bf7e2e-image.png

                                    And if the message is too long or has too many words, you can also use your browser's text search function (if it's also Ctrl F, I recommend pressing it twice to make sure the browser's function is selected, and not the forum one).
                                    But since the browser's text function only looks for the text in the message you're currently viewing and the ones right above and right below, you'll need to move between messages (e.g. with the arrows from the forum's search function I mentioned above) before you can look for more mentions with the browser's search function.

                                    Now, some games:

                                    Platform: Commodore 64 & C64 Mini/Maxi
                                    I don't own the game, but there are multiple mentions in the comments about running the game in an emulator, so very likely the download option "Soul Force (C64 binaries only)" includes the ROM.

                                    Arcade Daze: https://psytronik.itch.io/arcade-daze
                                    Platform: Commodore 64 & C64 Mini/Maxi
                                    I don't own the game, but the list of downloadable files mentions the extensions .prg, .d64 and .tap, all compatible with C64 emulators.

                                    Sezza 8bit Theme: https://game-buoy-games.itch.io/sezza8bittheme

                                    The ROM is the .gb file inside the downloadable .zip file.

                                    The ROMs are the .crt and .d64 files inside either downloadable .zip files. And apparently, the only difference between the .zip files is that the bigger one (with VICE in the name) includes an emulator for each of the 3 most common OS's, Windows, Linux and Mac/OSX.

                                    The ROM is the downloadable .gbc file. Also includes a .cia file (3DS package installer), but it's just the GBC version wrapped to run in the 3DS with its native emulator.

                                      First, some emulation-related tools:

                                      It lets you upload images to the emulator's virtual machine.

                                      auto key press tool for ZX Spectrum: https://unaux-25917242.itch.io/auto-key-press-tool-for-zx-spectrum
                                      Macros tool for ZX Spectrum emulators, apparently.

                                      Both tools above available to claim for free for for a bit over 10 minutes.
                                      No longer claimable for free.

                                      I-CHR: https://kasumi.itch.io/ichr
                                      Converts an image sequence into a NES ROM. Just not sure if it supports audio.

                                      Now, some games:

                                      One + Ten + Sixty: https://game-buoy-games.itch.io/oneplustenplussixty
                                      Platform: GameBoy
                                      The ROM is the .gb file inside the downloadable .zip file.

                                      Sezza vs. Quackmas: https://game-buoy-games.itch.io/sezzavsquackmas
                                      Platform: GameBoy
                                      The ROM is the .gb file inside the downloadable .zip file.

                                      Break An Egg: https://drludos.itch.io/breakanegg
                                      Platform: Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
                                      The ROM is the downloadable .bin file.

                                      Outrage: https://protovision.itch.io/outrage
                                      ​Platform: Commodore C64
                                      I don't own the game, but I see multiple mentions in the comments about the VICE emulator and some ROM formats, as well as one of the download options mentioning "C64 binaries", so the game very likely comes with emulatable ROMs.

                                      Kung Fu Maniacs Trilogy: https://psytronik.itch.io/kung-fu-c64
                                      Platform: Commodore C64
                                      I don't own the game, but the game's description says it can be emulated and the download option mentions both ROM formats .tap and .d64.

                                      Platform: GameBoy
                                      The ROM is the .gb file inside the downloadable .rar file. Also comes with a file that maybe is a save (the .sav file), but I didn't test it.

                                      Bomberland: https://rgcddev.itch.io/bomberland
                                      Platform: Commodore 64
                                      The ROMs are the .crt and .d64 files inside either downloadable .zip files. And apparently, the only difference between the .zip files is that the bigger one (with VICE in the name) includes an emulator for each of the 3 most common OS's, Windows, Linux and Mac/OSX.

                                      Platform: GameBoy Color/GBC
                                      The ROM is the downloadable .gbc file. Also includes a .cia file (3DS package installer), but it's just the GBC version wrapped to run in the 3DS with its native emulator.

                                      Platform: GameBoy
                                      The ROMs are the .gb files inside either downloadable .zip files. The "OLD ROM" one is likely an older version of the game.

                                        First, I noticed some Commodore 64 games have a "C64 Mini/Maxi" version or are reported to work in those models, so I updated the platform of these games to reflect that, in case some emulator has a compatibility mode for such models. (I've never seen it, but better safe than sorry).
                                        To find these quickly, just search for either "Mini" or "Maxi" with the text search functions I mentioned before.
                                        You can also find through the post's RSS feed (blue signal icon in the top of the post), but it's kinda hard to find anything there without any form of automation.

                                        Now, some more games:

                                        Rig Attack
                                        Platforms: Gameboy & Gameboy Color/GBC
                                        GB version: https://lacoste42.itch.io/rig-attack-gameboy-pocket
                                        GBC version: https://lacoste42.itch.io/rig-attack
                                        The ROMs are the downloadable .gb file (for Gameboy) and .gbc file (for Gameboy Color).
                                        They also come with .cia files (3DS package installer), but they're just the GB and GBC ROMs wrapped so they run in the 3DS's native emulators.
                                        And the Gameboy version says it runs on "Gameboy Pocket", but according to what I read, this "GB Pocket" is just a slim version of the original Gameboy. It still runs the same software.

                                        Wormhole: https://protovision.itch.io/wormhole
                                        Platform: Commodore 64 & C64 Mini/Maxi
                                        I don't own the game, but with the information available, it likely comes with emulatable files in the download options that say "C64 files only" and "Mini and Maxi files"

                                        Platform: Commodore 64 & C64 Mini/Maxi
                                        I don't own the game, but with the information available, it likely comes with emulatable files in both download options.

                                        Also comes with a demo, and the ROM is the .d64 file inside either downloadable .zip files.

                                            First, a question:

                                            Did the RSS feed from this post either break or change?
                                            It only shows the most recent posts starting from post #407 (#408 now that I made the post #432), but it used to show everything up to the last week, at least from what I remember.
                                            Should I give more information in private to a moderator, such as the token I get for the RSS feed and the browser/OS I use?

                                            Open source. Only comes with the source code, so it needs to be compiled with GB Studio (which is free/donationware). The output folder of the ROM is quizBasedCombatDemo > build > rom, and the resulting ROM is the .gb file.
                                            And the dev's comment about the open source nature of the project:

                                            The zip file includes all files needed to import this demo into GBStudio. Feel free to use/change it as you like. There is no need to credit me. But I would like to see what you came up with, if you are using this.
