Where to (legally) acquire content to play on RetroPie

@DolphinCube
As far as I can tell, this topic mainly covers how to legally obtain roms without dumping them. Rom dumping is discussed in the Docs. -
@lionel_Z80 This is amazing, thanks for this! I hope all the titles can get included eventually.

I updated the scripts. Thanks to many contributions, there are now 23 Neogeo games that are converted to romsets compatible with FBNeo.

Cinemaware titles to be delisted from GOG:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/delisting_cinemaware_titlesAt least 2 of those are emulated, and I vaguely remember Defender of the Crown also being emulated.

For anyone that got Metal Slug 4 on Prime, is it possible to rebuild the ROM from its included files? It has some suspiciously-looking files (s1.bin, sp_4j.bin, sp_4s.bin, m1.bin, s2.bin, p1.bin, v1.bin, c1.bin) in a suspiciously-named folder ("rom"), but I can't seem to find a dat file that can get clrmamepro to rebuild it.

Repugnant Bounty, GBC homebrew, is to be delisted "ASAP" from Steam.
From the dev's post on X/Twitter:
Repugnant Bounty will be removed from Steam ASAP due to their continuous refusal to accept my bank information and their poor developer experience. If you wanted the game on Steam you should get it immediately.
Steam link:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2652410/Repugnant_Bounty/The game is emulated and is also on Itchio.

Idk, if it was listed already here, but Rogue64 (2022, 5 USD) could be something if you are into roguelike, dungeon-crawler games. TIL they also will release an Amiga version of it later this year. 😎

Hi, @Auster
As you may already know.
Amazon Prime's Metal Slug 4 conversion is published in this thread.There are no illegal ROMs at the link. :)

@mochimochi Oooooh! Actually didn't know about it, and though I had checked the project recently, I hadn't seen the issues part yet. Reminds me maybe I should check those more often.

The site Indie Retro News is always worth a stop to catch up on free (or for little pocket money) available games. Plus you can filter by the system and/or genre you are interested in. And they do offer an RSS feed.
It got named in this forum from time to time but not in this thread.

@Lolonois, thanks for the link!
Also, to those interested, RSS, from what I can see, is surprisingly common, despite not being very talked about, and it also helps a bunch with having everything in a single feed, with how fragmented internet is. This very thread has one, the signal icon to the right of views at the top. =)
Also, there are other places I have found that provide emulation news and that include RSS feeds. Of the places I found, there are sites such as the Reddit alternatives (Mbin, Lemmy and PieFed-powered ones, for example), Twitter (indirectly through Nitter) and most of its competitors, Youtube of all places, Odysee, Peertube-powered sites, and so on. And from what someone told me, apparently Wordpress has RSS natively, but I still need to confirm it.
