So what you're saying is that you're looking for ROMs of homebrew games?

My Colecovision Homebrew Availability List links to released ROM of homebrew games.

There are a few other homebrew ROMs freely available from their authors via the links on this page under "ColecoVision & ADAM ROMs":

Would you guys download any free ROMS from websites online? Or to risky...viruses

Well what sites do you mean exactly? Beside the collection archive and the Homebrew Availability List links already given in this thread which specific ROMS are you looking for? Generally if you are not comfortable or experienced enough to download from just any site then you should probably avoid it. Myself my PC is set up defensively enough I've no fear of downloading from any site, even if something did manage to get through it would be detected and eradicated pretty quickly but that's me.

 

Other than the sites listed already I tend to get roms from THE ISO ZONE but I know when recommending that to others they come back complaining of ADs / Malware / pop ups etc, thing is because of my set up I don't even see such things so I keep that in mind these days before recommending it. But really even they don't offer anything not already suggested in this thread, were you looking to get a hold of Homebrew that would not be offered here? Because I cannot think of anything else one would be trying to get off risky / questionable sites?

All the original legacy roms are available in the "pinned" Rom Dump Project thread. Team Pixelboy has released a lot of rom images of his releases freely in his yearly Bulletin posts and you just need to search for the thread and then download away. CollectorVision has released a number of rom images of their game releases and you need to visit their site to download. NewColeco has a website with almost all his games available in rom format. Opcode has released all or most of his releases in rom format in his sub-forum. Last, but not least, checkout the ColecoVision and ADAM Information pinned thread for links to numerous other CV websites, especially TenFour's site.

 

A good idea is to read through all the old threads here in the CV&ADAM Forum as there is a lot of great information and plenty of good stuff to download safely. This place is like an encyclopedia of CV and ADAM information if you put it to use.

From past experiences those sites are safe.

You're not gonna find anything ColecoVision related on those sites that isn't available here in the Rom Dump Project pinned thread with the exception of some demos and WIPs. Everything you WANT is right here or on one of the linked websites (TenFour's colecovision.dk website to be exact) in the CV&ADAM Information pinned thread.

 

BTW, Ikrananka's Rom Dump Project set is the one you want to use as those other sites have numerous incorrectly dumped rom images.

Sure, would and could download from any of those if required but I explained in my last comment why. Should you? that's up to you and your comfort level regarding your own setup and practices.

Regarding downloading a DEMO or WIP, is it worth it?? Can you download these???

[NIAD]

DK Arcade hasn't even been finished, let alone released, so nothing to be had there. Check Opcode's sub-forum for the DKA thread that contains a very long and excruciating history of it's development.

 

There are a lot of really cool DEMO and WIP rom images for the CV that have been made available here, but there is no one site that has them all available to download easily as one package Hopefully that will change this year with a couple new people starting up/taking over CV websites and the digital archive of files that I have made/will make available to them. It's about time the CV has one or two encyclopedia style websites highlighting EVERYTHING.

[tonyankyfan1]

Oh wow, ok.... cool. Is Donkey Kong 2005 the same as Donkey Kong Arcade???

[NIAD]

It's a very early demo and I don't even recall what all is included in it... 10 years later.

[tonyankyfan1]

Oh ok, after I downloaded it from isogames,.it's blank screen when I click on it...

[tonyankyfan1]

There are also some cool free ROMs on Nicolas Campion's site for games that he has written for the ColecoVision. For those who don't know him, he programmed Mindwalls, a 2013 CollectorVision release.

Hey thanks, appreciate it!!!

[NIAD]

Nicolas, as well as others, have posted Demo and WIP rom images in the CV Programming sub-forum.

[tonyankyfan1]

Thanks for your help!!!!
