Free Downloadable Playstation ROMS

So where can you find free downloadable Playstation ROMs? Before that question is answered, LoveToKnow wants you to know that we do not condone the illegal use of video game emulators and downloading copywritten software that does not give you the right to distribute. There are some ROMs that are home-brewed, which means they are programmed by non-commericial developers for distribution. They aren’t programmed to make money, but rather just for the fun of it.

NOTE: If you are searching for a game that was originally distributed for sales, then only download the game if you own the original copy.

ROMs can only really come from cartridge games like those on the NES, Genesis, or the Game Boy. PlayStation ROMs come in the form of ISOs, which are disc images on the PlayStation discs. If you have the burning software Nero or Roxio, then you've probably seen an option that allows you to copy disc image or burn disc image. That's what you do with CD or DVD games.

The PlayStation emulators read the games from the discs so that you can play them on your computer. If you guessed that you need to get these onto a disc somehow, then you are correct!

Rom Hustler has hundreds of free downloadable Playstation ROMs. In fact, they almost have the entire Playstation library. You need one of the many PSX emulators to run these ROMS, but you should be able to find that obscure game or must-have game in their list. Nearly all of their downloads come in multiple parts, so make sure you have each part downloaded to run the game properly.

At Rom Gods you can get quite a few free downloadable Playstation ROMS, even some that other sites don't carry. However, there is a process you need to push through first. Basically, you must vote their site "the best" by going through a quick series of pop ups. The pop ups are fine, so don't worry about getting infected or getting into "pop-up" trouble. After you click another button in each of the five pop-ups, you click download and you have your ROM! There are also some ROMs that you can purchase. These tend to be the games that were top hits for the PlayStation.

Looking for some role-playing games? Emu Paradise has just what you are looking for in free downloadable PlayStation ROMs. There are some arcade games and racers, but the majority of the downloads are fantasy and action role-playing games. Just like the site Rom Gods, you must vote for their site before you get to download. The reason is that because PSX ROMs require so much bandwith, keeping their site in the top sites helps continue their existence.

The above three sites are three of the most popular legal sites on the Internet for free downloadable PlayStation ROMs. If you are going to search for other PlayStation ROM sites, make sure they are legit and free of spyware. Many sites have popped up that are just homes for spyware and malicious programs. If you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox, then you need not worry about not knowing what sites are fine and what sites aren't as long as you have the proper security settings in those web browsers.

Make sure you have an anti-spyware program and an anti-virus program running. These measures should block anything that tries to push through. If you accidentally get on a malicious website, your browser settings and security programs should block the bad content and prevent it from downloading anything. Exit the site immediately to minimize any potential damage.

If you are dubious about downloading ROMs from any sites that offer PlayStation ROMs, then considering joining a site that lets you pay a one-time fee to download unlimited ROMs. These kind of sites are typically easier to use and are safe to download from. While they may not have all the games the other sites may have, you can be sure you are downloading from reputable servers.
