  • Spyware/Adware/Malware Alert!

    I downloaded a rom from Cool Roms & it left my PC contaminated with Weatherbug, Optimizer, and Webget Ads, & it took me over an hour of using trashware removal tools to get ridda them. And that was AFTER declining the offers for Optimizer & weatherbug on the Cool Roms installer!

    Forewarned is forearmed, I hope. There are lotsa other rom & iso sites available, free of trashware.
    I come from a smart family...In the Civil War, my great-grandpa fought for the WEST.

      What you have to do is look below those download link to see "Alternate Download" as that will get you the rom and not an executable file. Speaking of adware wtf is up with these bogus movies and this bullshit codec installer being bundled? All that is going to do is install malware and the movie isn't even real so it tricks people into thinking that they need that special codec and get their systems infected.

        Use emuparadise, it has lots of ads, but the download link is very clear.

          Has been for around 10 years and still the absolute best place to get any rom is ThePirateBay.

          It doesn't have any ads if you use adblock.
