      I also found a PS1 BIOS in my PS2's BIOS, and again it requires grabbing the code with a hex editor.

      I tested with the a console that's from either Hong Kong or Japan (not sure which because the PS2 BIOS I dumped has multiple mentions of "HK" in the file names, but Retroarch says the version is "Japan v02.20"). And I'm not sure if the process changes with other versions of the BIOS, as I don't have access to other models of the PS2 to test.

      On the process itself, what you want to do first is to dump the PS2 BIOS like you'd do for PS2 emulation. You can get the BIOS dumper from PCSX2's site, and make sure you read README.txt that comes with the dumper, as it has instructions on how to use the dumper.

      After you dumped the BIOS, move them to your PC and open the BIOS file with a hex editor of your choice (tested with HxD; also checked with Okteta but it has some variations in the values). The file from my PS2 that has the PS1 BIOS is "SCPH-77006_BIOS_VX_HK _220.BIN", but if you're not sure about yours, open all files you dumped in the hex editor and use the search function to look for "System ROM Version" (without quotation marks). The file that has this piece of text is the one with the PS1 BIOS.

      Then go to the very beginning of the file's hex table (ctrl home should work) and select an interval/lenght of either 80000 (on HxD) or 7FFFF (on Okteta) starting from there. Then copy the selection, paste in a new file and save it. The name can be whatever, as long as the emulator can read it (so for Beetle PSX, for example, it'd be something like scph550X.bin, with X being the number of the region, 0 for NTSC, 1 for NTSC-J and 2 for PAL). And if in doubt about the offsets, starting from right before "System ROM Version" and going backwards, the beginning of the BIOS should be at an offset of 7FF32 on HxD and 7FF31 on Okteta.

      And as final notes, the BIOS appears to have region locks. Mine, for example, can only load NTSC-J games. And my specific BIOS has a md5sum of b2330a585d08a3fcaf8a1ca9ae08cbe3 and says "System ROM Version 5.0 02/10/06 J" in the end of the file, but if the BIOS changes depending on the console model and region, these values could also change.

      Little update: I can find no information about this BIOS specifically. I'll ask around to see what name convention people could use, if they want to share the information I brought here. But in the meantime, I'll be calling it "SCPH77006.BIN".

        Did anyone manage to get working files out of Wings on GOG and Sonic Adventure DX on Steam?

        With Wings, I tried extracting it with tools such as 7z and Unzip, and the only file I got that I managed to identify is the Workbench v1.2 file, and not the game itself.

        And with Sonic DX, I tried using the romextract tool without success.

          About Wings, an user in another forum helped me find a way to extract the Commodore Amiga ROMs:
          https://github.com/sigboe/extractwings

          Also, if you're on Linux/WSL, you can change the first command of the tutorial above to this if you want the Kickstart 1.2 BIOS:

          7z e -tzip -aos Wings.exe Kick12.rom -r

          You can probably get the Kickstart file with a GUI-based program such as Windows' 7zip as well.

          The Kickstart's md5sum should match the one listed in the BIOS part of PUAE's page on Libretro/Retroarch's site. Then you just need to rename it for what your emulator of choice expects.

                Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is included on Amazon Prime this month, and it can be run on either ScummVM or DOSBox, but a file needs to be extracted before it can be run.

                First, download the game with the Prime Gaming launcher and go to the folder where you downloaded the game.

                If you're using either Linux or a WSL, run either of these commands from the game's root folder (where "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.exe" and "testapp.exe" are):

                dd if="Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.exe" of=ATLANTIS.000 bs=1 skip=224336 count=12035
                
                dd if=testapp.exe of=ATLANTIS.000 bs=1 skip=224336 count=12035
                

                And if you're using Windows commands, first download these files and place them in the root folder of the game:
                https://github.com/sigboe/extractwings/blob/master/dd.exe
                https://github.com/sigboe/extractwings/blob/master/libiconv2.dll
                https://github.com/sigboe/extractwings/blob/master/libintl3.dll

                Then run a command in the folder where you placed the 3 files.

                On CMD, it can be either of those:

                ".\dd.exe" "if=.\Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.exe" "of=.\ATLANTIS.000" bs=1 skip=224336 count=12035
                
                ".\dd.exe" "if=.\testapp.exe" "of=.\ATLANTIS.000" bs=1 skip=224336 count=12035
                

                On PowerShell, it can be either of those:

                 .\dd.exe if=.\"Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.exe" of=.\ATLANTIS.000 bs=1 skip=224336 count=12035
                
                .\dd.exe if=.\testapp.exe of=.\ATLANTIS.000 bs=1 skip=224336 count=12035
                

                All commands will output the same file. And if you want to make sure, these are their sha1sum hashes:
                f836e9d15490955d22b6f88072c55fb6b751dc10 Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.exe
                f836e9d15490955d22b6f88072c55fb6b751dc10 testapp.exe
                47b11368ae266ac6f8a48e781d6eb274531a6e35 ATLANTIS.000

                After extracting the file, if you want to run the game on DOSBox, just place the extracted "ATLANTIS.000" file inside the folder ATLANTIS inside the game's folder, then run ATLANTIS.EXE with DOSBox.

                If you want to play it on ScummVM, you only need ATLANTIS.000, ATLANTIS.001 and MONSTER.SOU in the same folder, then point ScummVM to the folder where the files are. And Retroarch can launch the game from any of the 3 files.

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

                On a side note, if anyone has the Humble Trove version of the game backed up (it's no longer available for download), getting the files from the Windows version should be the same as with the Prime version, while it should be much easier to get the files with the MacOS version.

                The game folder with the needed files is in the Windows version, after you install it, is in C: > Program Files (x86) > Lucasfilm Ltd Disney > Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

                To get these files in the MacOS version, extract the Indiana_Jones_and_the_Fate_of_Atlantis_1547160339.zip file and go to the folder Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.app > Contents > Resources > game > game. All 3 ScummVM files are ready to be used there already, and if you want to run on DOSBox, just copy the ScummVM files to the folder "other" that's besides them, then run ATLANTIS.EXE with DOSBox.

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

                And lastly, I didn't test the Steam or GOG versions.

                  According to a thread in the Steam forum, Demons of Asteborg includes a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive ROM, but with some caveats:

                  Comment #3:

                  looks like Rom is included in the game folder and the base of this game.

                  Comment #4:

                  yes is the rom file. only works on BlastEm currently. needs to be altered. header needs to be changed and one byte removed. no flashcard works cause of the big size of the game, this needs a new Mapper. infos on this on some Twitter Threads with the devs.

                  I don't have the game in my account, so I can't confirm.

                        Back in June, both Syndicate games and Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 (all MS-DOS games) were removed from GOG, and apparently from Origin too.

                        Now it seems they're back, and at least the GOG titles are 100% off for a limited time. And the games on Origin are free as well, but I couldn't find info confirming it's a temporary free there (they were paid before being removed, so it wouldn't hurt to claim them as well).

                        GOG sale of these games:
                        https://www.gog.com/promo/rerelease_ultima_underworld_and_syndicate
                        Which includes:
                        https://www.gog.com/game/ultima_underworld_1_2
                        https://www.gog.com/game/syndicate
                        https://www.gog.com/game/syndicate_wars

                        Origin's titles:
                        https://www.origin.com/store/syndicate/syndicate-1993
                        https://www.origin.com/store/ultima/ultima-underworld-ii-labyrinth-of-worlds
                        https://www.origin.com/store/ultima/ultima-underworld-the-stygian-abyss

                        Apparently Syndicate (Origin) is the original version while Syndicate Plus (GOG) is an expanded version, and it seems Syndicate Wars is only available on GOG.

                        If anyone has trouble launching Ultima Underworld 1 and 2, the GOG and Origin versions have different steps.

                        For Origin, create a .bat file with a name not directly related to the games inside each game's DATA folders (default on Windows is C: > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > [game's name] > DATA), then paste these scripts inside them:

                        • For Ultima Underworld 1:
                        imgmount d game.dat -t iso -fs iso

                        • For Ultima Underworld 2:
                        imgmount d game.dat -t iso -fs iso
                        d:

                        uw2.bat
                        

                        For the GOG version, rename dosboxULTIMA1_single.conf (for the 1st game) and dosboxULTIMA2_single.conf (for the 2nd game) as .bat files (again, names not directly related to the games). They should be kept in their game's root folders (where they already were).

                        Then launch the games from these .bat files. And if DOSBox returns an "illegal command" error, try to shorten the name of the .bat files.

                          Thanks for alerting us of the free games, i didnt have ultima yet.
                          I deff advice anyone to get the Syndicate games while they're still available for free, they're really good. Played them to death back in the days. and again last year.
                          Shame to see them go.

                            Here's two that I've been having a ton of fun with (one you have to pay for, the other is free)

                            Xeno Crisis, a twinstick shooter for Genesis/Mega Drive (well, more like dual + + genesis interface but you get the idea), as well as Dreamcast and Neo Geo (AES and CD)
                            https://shop.bitmapbureau.com/collections/sega-mega-drive-genesis/products/xeno-crisis-sega-mega-drive-genesis-rom-download
                            (it's the devs store)

                            next is Pyoro64 for the Nintendo 64, a remake of the minigame you find in WarioWare
                            Here's footage from the original game

                            here's footage from the 64 remake

                            the 64 remake runs great on the Pi.

                              The GBA version comes already compiled and is the downloadable .gba file. The PSP version needs to be compiled from source and currently has no audio. Also, the game is open source.

                                    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.

                                    from what it looks like, they're both the same exact file, but the rar comes with an emulator and a disclaimer saying "sorry for the bugs, its only a 3 person team" in English and Brazilian Portuguese

                                          According to ScummVM's wiki, most of the games from the Leisure Suit Larry franchise released on GOG and Steam appear to be playable through the ScummVM emulator:

                                            I feel like this whole thread should be replaced by a wiki and then locked.

                                            Can that be done?

                                            It's completely unmanageable for me to keep updating that first post with all these.
