Basil Zero's Must Have Roms List
This is my list of Games that everyone who can use emulators should have, whether they work properly or not, because updates of emulators may make some of the games that are not currently working, actually making them work. I colorized each game depending on the genre, and divided the roms list between companies.
--BASIL V
Note 1-The games in bolded are MUST HAVE
Note 2-I’ll keep on Updating, haven’t finished the entire list yet
Note 3-These are games that i perfered to myself, and the majority of the games are known and praised, if you have any suggestions, please be free to add to your posts on this thread for others to see.
Note 4- Not all roms work on the PSP, updates may come which will enable to play the games, as of now, the only perfectly running games are the NES, SNES, and the GBC, in terms of compatiablity. GBA, Sega Genesis, and N64, not all roms may work...
Note 5-10% of the games are in japanese title listed, another 30% of the games listed are Japanese releases only, but you could probably find a translated version or patch.
Note 6-Sorry for the slow updates lol
Note 7-Now making requests, go ahead and request for your fav roms to be placed, mostly looking out for N64 and Sega Genesis choices
Note 8-I've started the second part of my Roms List, which will cover systems like Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD, Neo Geo Pocket, CPS1, CPS2, WonderSwan, PSX, and other systems, help would be nice lol
