I've been a member here for a while now and into emulation for a little longer before I found this place. They have lots of old school roms, and their organized very well. Some are messed up but there's usually several different versions so thats not so bad. The stuff you get with Premium, Silver or Platinum accounts, can actually be found for free on another rom site, you'll have to find that yourself. Most of the stuff there isn't organized as well and they tend to link to megaupload and rapidshare so those links might not always be active. Here on the other hand everything is organized, and if something isn't there but use to be, chances are it never worked or it's temporarily down. You can request the rom as long as you meet the standards. This is a legit place, they don't carry protected old school games, GBA, PSX, or any of the other newer systems so this site will probably be around for a while if they keep that up. If you need help just go into the forums and ask. However I would advise thats all you do, the community is a bit trollish, and loves to flame for stupid shit, overall it's a waste of time. The gaming threads are pretty dead but that's b/c of the flaming that goes on from other ignorant users, some threads will even get closed down b/c of this. I once had some comedy videos put up about a console, and I gave my opinion of said console as well. The flamers got a hold of it and the gaming mod didn't like my opinion, and closed it down. Thats not how a community should run. All in all it's a good rom site, a somewhat helpful community, but not very good socially.

Great site. I joined I think back in in 2003 because this was the only site that had Sonic CD. Downloaded it, but only played it for like 5 minutes. Time flies.

You know, I've been doing this emulation thing for like ten years now, and I've had to wade through some shitty sites in my time. Not to mention having more than one favored emulation site disappear (Anyone remember Plasticman? Cherryroms? Edge Emulation?). So to have a long-time, dedicated site like EmuAsylum is a real blessing. Seriously, people. The roms are legion. The community is bumpin'. The donation investment is more than worth it (all the content of ISO torrents with no ratios or seeds? lovely). There's FAQs to help you with all your emulation troubles (I've used them myself, they're great). And you know that little window at the top right with the latest emulator updates? Don't think of it as simply a newsfeed. Think of it as proof that the staff cares enough about this site, and consequently all of you, to keep daily tabs on what's happening out there in emulation land. It's the little things that make it different, and better. You're all damn lucky this place exists, and don't forget it.

I have come to Emuasylum for a few years now, even though I have full ROM sets on my PC they constantly post up new games and things I don't have such as Dreamcast games!! Not to mention the staff is dedicated to getting you the info you need to get games up and running or whatever. The forums have been my friend for a while now since any question I post I get instant responses with many many willing people looking to help me! I am not a proud platinum member and plan on being one forever.

I have been into emulation since 1994 and I have to say that, EmuAsylum is one the fairest ROM sites I've seen, hands down. Not only do the folks at EmuAsylum offer you just about every ROM download and not ask you to donate, but even with a SMALL donation, you only donate once and are a lifetime member. You'd be hard-pressed to find another ROM site that is as fair, helpful and constantly updated as EmuAsylum is. I will ALWAYS support EmuAsylum!

Some time ago, I stumbled upon this emulation site whilst looking for...well...ROMs. It didn't take long for me to take a fancy to this site, seeing as it housed almost every ROM and ROM hack/translation/etc. known to man kind! I was so impressed, in fact, that I donated some money to the site even BEFORE I found out about the "Membership" system! I eventually donated enough to earn Platinum Membership and to this day, this is the place I come for ROMs of old games I used to play and can't find anymore. The staff has always been very helpful and extremely nice to myself and others, the ROM selection is unmatched by most other sites, and best of all, there's absolutely no strings attached! Download what you want and come back the next day if you want more! Donate and be able to download more per day! No strings, no tricks, no spyware. Just pure, oldschool gaming at its finest! Thanks, EmuAsylum, for staying so awesome over the years! Here's to many more years of oldschool gaming for everyone!

I was lost in life. No direction, no purpose... no future. Each day was an enternity of disappointment. Then I discovered emuasylum. They helped me get my life back on track one day at a time. They showed me the beauty that each new moment could offer. Things started to change in my life. Suddenly I wasn't afraid of disappointment or failure, because these things only help you learn and become stronger. I am now surrounded by an aura of confidence. I don't know what direction life will take me, but I do know that as long as I have emuasylum with me I can survive anything. Thank you emuasylum.
