Click the tabs on the top of the webpage and look for your console to find your ROMs.
Inspired by that thread from the other day. I hope this thread inspires anyone who wanted to get into retro games to consider emulation instead of 5000$ scalped disks and consoles. This site maybe doesn't have the fastest downloads but it makes emulation sooo easy for anyone hesitating!
Edit: thanks eveyone for the links!

For older consoles, there are several torrents floating around with "every" game in them. I got nearly complete collections of NES, SNES, GB, and GBA this way. Also found one with something like 240 N64 ROMs. Newer consoles are trickier, since the games are considerably larger. These I need to hunt down one by one. I've found about a dozen games for GameCube/Wii, half a dozen for PS3, and a handful of Switch games. Also found a collection of 700 DOS games, 20 or so Genesis games, and maybe 6 Sega Saturn.
If you're looking for full rom sets for older consoles look for the redump or no-intro sets, those are clean dumps that'll work with any emulator. Vimm and archive.org carry them.
I've got those same collections! The entirety of SNES games in a zip file comes up to 3Gb. Old games are insanely well optimized compared to the bloat we ended up with today.
I wish I could remember where I got them though. All files are available individually in the link above, but it's so convenient when you want to play a game and you just have to locate it from a single Zip!
