        Read the rules. We don't discuss where to get ROMs on this forum.

          The ROMS are in your game's cartridge/CD, you just need to extract them.

            @conbrue Welcome to Retropie and this forum.

            There's a thread about Where to (legally) acquire content to play on RetroPie.

              @conbrue In General Discussion and Gaming there is a thread about where to legally obtain content without resorting to piracy. Legal content for MAME is sparse, but there is gigs of stuff for DosBox and other computer platforms.

              System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

                    PMs are not enabled on this forum (can you guess why ?). As was said earlier, this is not a ROM sharing/linking forum.

                        @conbrue Did you read the rules linked above? Asking for (illegal) roms is not allowed here, and I think that may include asking for PMs about them (even if those were enabled).

                        Forum rules reflect the intensions of at least the operators, if not the forum's whole community. You should consider that before breaking them that openly. You'll make not many friends in a community this way – as you can see by the downvotes of your last post.

                        Just as a friendly advice. Have fun with Retropie.
