ROM Search
Where: Sidebar of any game page (
/game/{id})API Key: Not required (except for hash verification)
- Navigate to any game page (e.g.,
retroachievements.org/game/1) - In the sidebar (right side), look for the "ROMs" section below the box art
- The script automatically searches for matching ROMs across multiple sources
- Results appear as a list of downloadable links
Each result shows the filename and source. Click to download.
A gold trophy icon means the ROM's hash matches the official RA database — verified compatible with RetroAchievements.
Hover over the badge to see the MD5 hash, labels, and compatibility details.
Requires: RA API Key enabled in Settings.
If nothing is found, manual search links to Archive.org, Myrient, and RomsFun are shown.
For PSP games, DLCs are listed in a separate section.
ROMs are searched in this priority order:
| # | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cache | Previously found results, cached for 24 hours |
| 2 | Myrient | Primary source for most consoles |
| 3 | Archive.org | No-Intro 2016 collection (fallback) |
| 4 | Emuparadise | Optional — enable in Settings |
| 5 | RomsFun | Optional — enabled by default |
For Arcade games, a specialized search using FBNeo DAT files is used.
The script uses smart title matching:
- Normalizes titles (strips articles like "The", punctuation, region tags)
- Tries exact match first, then falls back to substring matching
- Region-aware comparison
