Title says it I want to play old games without going broke. Do I need a vpn, where do I find roms. There are a lot of games I want to try but only so much money so help would be appreciated. PS2 games N64 games PS1 games and the like.

Edit got f zero gx playing on dolphin but it jumps up and down on fps. Playing with the settungs is making me this that the computer might not be powerful enough. Gonna try more later because brain outta juice.

Thanks everyone who helped.

    I was thinking of going there but I thought reddit might not like the idea since they very "muh ip laws" and hate poor people.

      As long as you check out their megathreads on those subreddits you shouldnt have any issues except on some consoles which you'll need to find bios as mentioned by another user

          I think r/roms is somewhat slow to fix dmca pages (I think psp was down for 2 weeks or so) but they get them back up eventually

            Sweet I guess not all gamers there are bad or at least they did something good.

              Just don't ask for troubleshooting help there. They can be dicks about it. But you can normally find a youtube video to help so you should be fine

      They're not allowed to straight-up link you to ROMs because Reddit itself is very "muh ip laws," but they're still good places to find links and guides for the emulators themselves. The users themselves can even be helpful on a good day
