What was your hardest rom to find?

[ukyo]

Im bored and I was thinking what was your hardest rom to find and how long. For me it was the illusive powere instinct matrimelle. I dont know why but most were fakes and maybe it was the newest game snk put out in a long while. The others flowed like water but the elusive pim was really difficult to find. Took me a month to find reall game and dat. Any others?

[Raiken]

Well I've never had neo roms that were hard to find ;D Although ngpc roms were always tricky for me.

Rage of the Dragons.

It was my first rom that wasn't officially supported by an emu.
Took me about a week to find. This was also how I learned of filemirrors.


-------------------------------

I am still looking for the Radiant Silvergun ST-V rom.
It was put up on emuchina a long time ago for a brief time. I even have an emu that claims to support it.

[Jinengi]

I haven't had any hard ones to find either
Its just finding the moves for them

The hardest one was definately kof2001, it didnt take me that long to find, in fact i managed to get it before it came out to the masses, but the reason it was hard was some tard on kaillera said he'd give me an adress+pass to an ftp server with the game on it, but only if i played him kof 2000 for like a million years. It took 4ever b4 he gave me the adress.

Also, the first rom i ever found, kof2knd, now has become elusive and i cant find it, been lookin for a month.

I have also been looking for "garoun", can anyone tell me if it actually exists or am i just wasting my time looking?

[ukyo]

not to sound like a newb but what is garoun do you mean garou mark of wolves if so it is emulated. Also I have learned to make backups of all roms now they will be mine forever hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Kof2k1 isn't too hard to find with the wrong p1. I spent a very long time finding the correct p1 for that game, it was a real bitch cause i like the game so much.

As for the "garoun" roms set, i don't see whats the point of getting a file so much bigger without any difference but it is out there on the net though, harder to come by then most neo roms.

eh... a cd-rw drive?

[Raiken]

lol yeah I backed up my roms too.

[Hibiki]

Up until now, I haven't had any problems finding the roms that I want. But now, my problem is downloading the correct roms. I currently use P2P software to search for roms. Search for "kof2003" and I am given a lot of list. Well, I guess my problem starts from now on.

i've never had any probs except probably the first day i got into emulation.what with winmx and direct connect i found everything quite easy.regarding radiant silvergun it is supported in mame but is classed as unworking at the moment...the rom should be easy enough to find though....stv emulation seems to be one of the mame devs priorities at the moment so i can't see it being that far off being playable.garoun.zip does exist....just look using the above programs.

Now you guys have peeked my interest what is the garoun rom is it garou or entirely different game that I have never heard of?

[hullcityfcmad]

it's the same game with the just the c-roms decrypted.

Mine would have to be mslug3.

Mainly becaues every site that was hosting it had the wrong version.

[sukotsuto]

the hardest for me has to be ROTD and Matrimelee. i'm still lookin for them up to now...

[Yeton]

Amusingly, it was KOF2000, the first KOF I got, simply because I didn't know where to look or how to get them working (I kept downloading incorrect romsets several times). Not such a huge problem now I know my way around a little.
