Most retro gamers acquire complete romsets via:
Our stance: We support preservation. If you love a game, buy an official re-release. Use complete romsets to experience history, not to profit. Do not share copyrighted ROMs publicly.
Note: Distributing copyrighted ROMs is illegal. This section assumes you already own original arcade PCBs or have legally dumped your own media.
When you search for a "complete set," you will encounter three main formats:
| Type | Description | Pros | Cons | |------|-------------|------|------| | Split | Parent ROM contains shared files; clones only contain unique files. | Saves storage space. | Difficult for beginners; moving a clone without the parent breaks it. | | Merged | Parent and all clones are in a single ZIP file. | Easy to manage; everything for one game in one place. | Wastes space (duplicate data); slow to access. | | Non-Merged | Every game (parent and each clone) is a standalone ZIP containing all required files. | Perfect for frontends (LaunchBox, RetroArch); no dependency issues. | Largest file size (typically 60–80 GB for full FBNeo). |
For most users, the recommended format is the "non-merged" set. It is plug-and-play. Drop it into your
roms/fbneo/folder, and every game works independently.
These are mandatory. Without them, entire hardware families are unplayable:
