New to Emulation? Don't fret, here is a brief introduction to get you started... What is Emulation? Emulation is the process of simulating the hardware of one machine on another machine so that the second machine is able to run software designed for the first machine. The most popular type of emulation is video game emulation. This is when someone plays games from NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. on their PC. CoolROM provides emulators (software that allow you to run games, designed for other systems, on your PC) and ROM files (games you run using an emulator) for download so you can re-live all those classic games you enjoyed as a kid on your PC!

Join the forums and our friendly users will be more than happy to assist you! Site News August 2, 2010 Due to overwhelming requests, we have now added an exclusive Macintosh emulators section for all you Apple fanboys out there (myself included). We are one of the few ROM sites that actually have such a section, so enjoy! More updates are on the way! July 16, 2010 Hey guys, I hope you are enjoying your summer holidays and thank you for continuing to make CoolROM your #1 emulation choice! As always, please do not hesitate to contact us with any comments or suggestions to help us become even better. We recently upgraded our server to have twice the CPU power and RAM, so you may have noticed the even faster browsing and download speeds :). Anyways, I am excited to announce a couple of updates for you guys: - All ratings are now displayed with shiny new stars ! - Updated all emulators to their latest versions and added a rating system - Added a "Top ROMs" page for each system to display the Top Downloaded and Top Rated ROMs. Example: here. Within the next couple of weeks, we also plan on categorizing ROMs by genre to make your navigating experience even more easier! Be sure to check us out on Facebook to keep up-to-date with what's happenin'! July 17, 2009 It's only fitting that after I add the NDS ROMs to introduce a new NDS Emulators section. Enjoy! July 2, 2009 After some consideration, I have decided to give you guys a little treat - I have uploaded over 18 GB's worth of Nintendo DS NDS ROMs! You guys can check them out here. Bon appetit! February 11, 2009 I just wanted to take the time to thank you guys for the continued submission of screenshots for our ROMs. Our collection of screenshots is growing rapidly; however, we still have many games without them so just keep them coming! For this new year, I am planning to have more site events/contests as our forums seems to be livelier than ever with almost 40k registered users. I am also looking to enhance our ROMs and emulators sections, so you if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. December 4, 2008 After quite some time, the Sega Dreamcast ROMs/ISOs have finally finished uploading - all 85 GB's! You guys can check them out here. Please stay tuned for another update in the near future! October 16, 2008 Hey guys, I know it has been a while since I brought the forums down due to a large mess created.. but now have decided it's time to bring it back to life. As you may notice, there are many posts/threads missing from before - this is because I have loaded a backup in March.; however, all user accounts still remain. I have also updated the forums to the latest stable version. I have also removed all moderators/super moderators and decided to start fresh with friendly and MATURE moderators only. If you are interested in moderating one of the forums, please send me a PM, and I will take a look into it. I hope things will be right this time around - enjoy! June 1, 2008 Guess what guys? I have uploaded over 1,000 Gameboy Advance GBA ROMs to the site, and you may check them out here - thank Soushkin for the set. Also, I am in the midst of updating our MAME set to the latest version, so please stay tuned for that. I finally have a break from school; I should have more free time to update the site, which I haven't done so for a while, so here's a little treat for you to start off :) May 25, 2008 It seems like it has been forever since I last posted news here; however, I have some important updates to address. Part of our site database corrupted, which caused downloads not to initiate properly, and unfortunately, I did not discover this problem until recently. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you guys, and have rebuilt the database, so everything should be working fine now. Some good news: I am currently working on updating a lot of our emulator/ROM files, so you may expect another news update very soon! Enjoy life everybody! December 25, 2007 Hey guys. I just wanted to drop a line and wish you all a merry Christmas, and hope you have white Christmas like you wanted. If not, I hope playing them classics will help you pass the time ;) Anyways, I am preparing a special gift for you guys, but I realize it is already late; anyhow, I am currently upgrading the MAME ROM set to the latest version (0.122)! I will keep you guys posted! October 4, 2007 It has been a while since I posted some news, so here goes nothing! As years pass by, CoolROM ages and is no longer the new kid on the block. I hope this site continues to help you relive your childhood memories with the classic games you enjoyed the most when you were a kid. Please contact me if you have any comments/suggestions about the site, which may help us make your visit here even more pleasurable! On a side note, due to school and other issues, my time spent working on the site has been severely limited; however, I will try my best now to get back to the swing of things. I have added a couple things to my to-do list in the near future: add more ROMs including Sony Playstation, and revamp the emulator section. Please stay tuned for these updates and more! Also, keep those screenshots coming! :) February 14, 2007 I would like to personally thank everyone for the constant submission of screenshots for games that do not have them; I have been quite busy reviewing and then adding them. If we keep this up, we may eventually have entire ROM sections covered. Keep 'em coming! October 8, 2006 I have updated the MAME ROM set to 0.108, but 0.109 has already been released! Aww, don't worry, I will get to that as soon as possible :). Please stay tuned for more updates! September 26, 2006 University has started once again for me, so I now do not have much time to post site news, but I will still try :). Anyways, I have a few things to announce; firstly, the winner of our third contest is... DarthBrady! Sorry about the delay in releasing the name of the winner, but I had to fix up some issues first. I added a Sega Model 2 ROMs section, and much thanks to Mjshl2 for providing me the ROM set. I also updated the MAME set to 0.107, and will update this again to 0.108 very soon! On a side note, some of you might have noticed a brief period of downtime today. This was due to a network outage of our host's, so I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. July 20, 2006 Thanks to our loyal user, Kameo, we have yet another contest! Kameo has kindly taken his time to put together this exciting contest, and has even donated his Sega Saturn console as the prize! You may check out the details of the contest here. July 12, 2006 At last, the MAME 0.106 ROM set is 100% complete! This set contains 5,712 files that are over 14 GB in size! We hope you enjoy this as much as we do. Anyways, if you would like to show your appreciation for our work, please take a second to vote for us :) July 10, 2006 I am currently finalizing the remaining MAME ROMs, so our MAME 0.106 ROM section will be completed shortly. Please stay tuned for this! July 2, 2006 Well, it's that time again. Another contest completed, and another winner! The winner of CoolROM.com's second contest is... Fierce Deity! Congratulations to him, and thanks to all who participated. There will definitely be more contests in the near future, so if you haven't had any luck yet, don't fret! Thanks again to the nice guys at Lik-Sang.com for making this possible. May 30, 2006 I am proud to present CoolROM.com's second contest! Thanks to the fellas at Lik-Sang.com for making this possible again. Please read more about the contest here. May 8, 2006 As most of you have noticed, our web site, forums, and downloads were down for periods of time yesterday and today. This is due to me moving the web site to a new server, so I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Anyways, you guys should notice drastic improvements in site loading speed because our site is now on a server with a badder CPU as well as more RAM. On the other hand, I have finally chosen the remaining 2 winners, so the contest has come to an end. Thank you all for participating in it, and I hope to have another one for you very soon. April 22, 2006 Sorry about the lack of updates recently, because exam period is here. I will be done near the end of the month, so expect many updates :). Anyways, regarding our first ever contest, I have received 3 shipping info from 5 of the winners, and I think I have waited long enough for their reply. So for the 2 remaining prizes, if you are interested (and have not won yet, of course), please send me a PM with the title "Contest 1". I will then do another draw for 2 winners, since there are inactive forum members. Stay tuned. April 6, 2006 During the past few weeks, we have worked hard to complete our ROM section for our users to download. As you may have noticed, we have new sections for Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Atari Lynx, Sega Game Gear, and Sega Master System. This brings our total ROM collection to be over 7,500! We are currently working on adding the full MAME set, so please stay tuned! April 1, 2006 Thank you all for participating in our first ever contest! Since I am in a good mood :), and Lik-Sang.com has extra stock, I drew 20 winners instead of 10. April fools! :P I have drawn five winners and they are: mikXD Amadeus ZeroV2 luisreyesxv krazykachar Congratulations to them, and for those who did not win, don't worry, we will definitely be holding more contests in the future. March 31, 2006 It has been a while since I updated, but this time I have added 284 Nintendo 64 screenshots! I hope our screenshots will benefit our users by providing them with a preview option before downloading the ROM. Anyways, I am in the middle of a large Sega Saturn update, so please stay tuned. By the way, if you don't already know, CoolROM.com's first ever contest will end today. If you are interested, and still haven't submitted an entry, please do that by 12:00 PM tonight! The draw will be held tomorrow, so good luck to all the participants :) March 9, 2006 I am proud to present CoolROM.com's first ever contest! Thanks to the good guys at Lik-Sang.com for making this possible. Please read more about the contest here. March 4, 2006 Sorry about the long period with no updates, but I have been very busy with other aspects of my life :( I will reply too all of the emails as soon as I can. Anyways, after long consideration, we have decided to open forums for all of our loyal visitors to chat in!
