ROM Search

🔍 ROM Search

Where: Sidebar of any game page (/game/{id})

API Key: Not required (except for hash verification)

How it works

1. Navigate to any game page (e.g., retroachievements.org/game/1)
2. In the sidebar (right side), look for the "ROMs" section below the box art
3. The script automatically searches for matching ROMs across multiple sources
4. Results appear as a list of downloadable links

What you'll see

ROM links

Each result shows the filename and source. Click to download.

🏆 RA Trophy Badge

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.

No results

If nothing is found, manual search links to Archive.org, Myrient, and RomsFun are shown.

PSP DLCs

For PSP games, DLCs are listed in a separate section.

Search sources

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.

Title matching

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
