MadZiontist Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi all, new member here. I did a search, but had trouble finding what I'm looking for. Which is a thread, or a link to a spot, to DL RARE 2600 ROMs. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 What do you call rare? The rarest are kept rare for several reasons, everything else from the 1977-1992 period can be downloaded here: http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY cool. I guess I was thinking of all of the really obscure titles....the ones not in that collection. Hacks, homebrews, protos, etc.. I did find some pretty sweet stuff last night, along those lines, digging around. It would be nice though if it were assembled into a collection, and could be DL'd with minimal links. Oh well. Thanks for the reply, and help. I guess I'll keep digging around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a hacks and homebrews collection floating around, but it hasn't been updated since May 2009 (I have version 1.2b). I believe it was prepared by Impaler_26, and can be found somewhere on the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadZiontist Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Dig around in Usenet & bit torrent. Yeah I dug around a bit on Demonoid, and Pirate Bay, last night, but didn't really find what I was looking for. Guess I'll have to keep digging, and look into Usenet. Anything specific you are looking for? Currently I'm looking for a ROM for 'X3V0LuX'. I DL'd all of the 2600 Hacks listed in the AA database, and got 'em all, but there was no link for that one. I know the dev was selling it, but I checked the cart listing page in the store, and I believe it was down. Not really looking to buy the cart anyways...at least not right now. Maybe if I play the ROM, and treasure it enough, I'd want to add it to my collection, but not right at this time. IMHO, a ROM Hack should be available for free. Just my opinion, and I'm not trying to step on any toes here, or ruffle any feathers. To each their own ideals though. There's a hacks and homebrews collection floating around, but it hasn't been updated since May 2009 (I have version 1.2b). I believe it was prepared by Impaler_26, and can be found somewhere on the boards. Sweet. Hope that gets updated soon. I'll check around for the last version of it on here. Hey madziontist try this one http://dl.dropbox.co...armony Cart.zip Scott Wow man, dope. Thanks! About to DL that. And thanks to everybody else for your replies, and help as well. And please keep the suggestions and/or links comin'! Oh, and I'm going to rename all of the hacks I DL'd from the AA database, and adding the names of the games that they were hacks of, as well as the author's names, and years of release. I'm gonna zip em all into one file for easy DLing. If anybody is interested in a link for that, let me know, and I'll hook it up once I'm finished with that lil project.

The hacks & homebrews database I mentioned has that already -- it'd be a shame to duplicate all that effort. Since I have the original .zip file handy, I don't know of any reason not to post it, so check it out (link on Sendspace). Maybe you could help Impaler_26 with updating and maintaining it?

Rom Hunter Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yes, Impaler26 is the man to look for. He took over my Hacks & Homebrews collection in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...missed that somehow. Will get to DLing that. Thanks for the link, and letting me know that I don't need to waste my time with that lil project now! Yeah I'm def willing to help out with it in anyway I can. I'll send him a PM, and see what kind of help he could use, that I could offer. Def not a n00b to the mod/hack/homebrew scene, but also def not some sort of "Super-Vet" lol. I am passioniate about it though, an avid collector, and am always trying to hunt down new ROMs/hacks/homebrew. I'm def willing to offer what I can to the scene and community here.

snstay Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Acually the one i have is the hacks and homebrews 1.2b but i added a ton when i find them like halo 2600 seaweed assault and a ton of hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I DL'd the H&HB 1.2b, which is amazing, along with Scott's Harmony Cart collection, which is also amazing! But do you have the additions that you've made to 1.2b separated, so that you could easily UL that, to make it available for me (and others) to DL? I would GREATLY appreciate it! I already have Halo 2600 (not sure about Seaweed Assault...haven't checked yet), or any others that you have added though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadZiontist Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) NonGood start. Thanks [emoji16]. I just decided to post what I had in one of my file hosts. I'll have to continue with more. Not sure why that NonGood set has the date text with the link embedded in it. I tried everything I could think of to fix it, but no dice. I don't know if it's a Tapatalk formatting thing or what. Oh well.

CPUWIZ Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I have several hoarded ROMZ, that nobody has. One people don't even know exists, so missing 12 means nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadZiontist Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) What 12 are considered missing from your list? The missing ROMs are listed in a .txt file included with the download. It's not really my list. This is a Cowering Good Set. These tend to be ROMs that exist but are unavailable at the time. They may be available now, but whoever compiled the set couldn't find them at the time. Edited February 21, 2018 by MadZiontist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
