Where can I download ROMs now that MyRient is gone?

https://github.com/mccoy88f/Tottodrillo

I wanted to share something pretty useful after the shutdown of the well-known ROM site Myrient.

I found a really interesting app on GitHub that lets you download ROMs directly to your phone in a super convenient way. What makes it even better is that you can add your own sources, and I’ve been working on compiling new ones from different sites so the app can eventually have a huge library all in one place.

Basically, you can just type the name of any game into the search bar and download the ROM straight to your phone. It even shows the box art/covers, which makes everything look way cleaner and easier to browse. Honestly, it’s one of the most practical setups I’ve seen for mobile retro gaming.

If anyone’s interested, I can also explain how to add new sources yourself and expand the library even more.

🎯 Objetivo

Quieres jugar a Radikal Bikers en emulación con una ROM obtenida de forma legal.

🧾 PASOS LEGALES (bien hechos de verdad)

  1. Confirmar quién tiene los derechos hoy

Antes de nada, hay que asegurarse de que quienes te autorizan son realmente los titulares actuales.

Haz esto:

pedirles confirmación por escrito de que:

son titulares del copyright del juego

no han cedido ni transferido los derechos

si puedes, pedir referencia societaria o documento de titularidad

  1. Conseguir autorización escrita formal (licencia)

No vale solo “permiso verbal”.

Debe incluir:

nombre exacto del juego (Radikal Bikers)

qué te permiten:

✔ descarga de ROM

✔ uso en emulador

✔ copia personal

si puedes:

duración (ideal: indefinida)

ámbito (personal / privado / no comercial)

firmas de los tres titulares

👉 si es ante notario, mejor, pero no es estrictamente obligatorio si el documento es claro y verificable.

  1. Usar una copia legítima de la ROM

Esto es clave:

Tienes dos opciones legales:

Opción A (ideal)

ellos te proporcionan la ROM directamente

Opción B (más débil pero posible)

tú obtienes una copia de Internet

pero la licencia que tienes debe cubrir explícitamente:

“uso de cualquier copia funcional del software”

👉 si no lo especifica, jurídicamente es zona gris.

  1. Uso en emulación

Legalmente en la UE:

la emulación como software → ✔ legal

el uso de ROM → depende de la licencia

  1. Lo que debes evitar

Incluso con permiso:

redistribuir la ROM públicamente

subirla a repositorios abiertos

automatizar scraping de fuentes externas no autorizadas

compartir el ZIP fuera de lo permitido

🧠 Resumen claro

Si haces esto bien:

✔ tienes permiso escrito de titulares reales

✔ defines uso exacto

✔ usas una copia válida del juego

👉 entonces puedes jugarlo legalmente sin problema

---------------------

🎯 Objective

You want to play Radikal Bikers in emulation with a legally obtained ROM.

🧾 LEGAL STEPS (done properly)

  1. Confirm who currently holds the rights

First and foremost, you must ensure that those authorizing you are indeed the current rights holders.

Do this:

Ask them for written confirmation that:

they hold the copyright to the game

they have not assigned or transferred the rights

if possible, request company information or a document of ownership

  1. Obtain formal written authorization (license)

Verbal permission alone is not sufficient.

It must include:

exact game name (Radikal Bikers)

what it allows you to do:

✔ ROM download

✔ use in an emulator

✔ personal copy

if possible:

duration (ideally: indefinite)

scope (personal/private/non-commercial)

signatures of all three license holders

👉 notarized is best, but not strictly required if the document is clear and verifiable.

  1. Use a legitimate copy of the ROM

This is key:

You have two legal options:

Option A (ideal)

they provide you with the ROM directly

Option B (weaker but possible)

you obtain a copy from the internet

but the license you have must explicitly cover:

“use of any functional copy of the software”

👉 if it doesn't specify this, it's legally a gray area.

  1. Use in emulation

Legally in the EU:

Emulation as software → ✔ legal

ROM use → depends on the license

  1. What to avoid

Even with permission:

Redistributing the ROM publicly

Uploading it to open repositories

Automating scraping from unauthorized external sources

Sharing the ZIP file outside of permitted channels

🧠 Clear summary

If you do this right:

✔ You have written permission from the actual rights holders

✔ You define the exact usage

✔ You use a valid copy of the game

👉 Then you can play it legally without any problems

I think I need to travel there to get written authorization and I don't know what else. I suppose I should follow their instructions; for my own good, I don't want to do anything illegal*

CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

GPU: Adreno 710

I've used this emulator before and it worked on my device, but with this update it's literally broken. Nothing makes it work, not even after passing the BIOS. It doesn't matter if it uses Vulkan or OpenGL.

Seriously, I don't know what kind of testing they do before releasing a build, but this emulator is going from bad to worse.

https://github.com/nckstwrt/NetherSX2-Turnip/releases/tag/v0.4

Features:

The methodology - now uses libadrenotools approach. Will now work fine on Snapdragon Elite/Later Android versions (wasn't before!)

Will use Elite driver for Dragonwing Q8 (AYN Odin 3)

So if it was not working for you before - it should now.

Thanks to all the testers SubhanHabib, Yuasasa and others who have helped me track down the issues on devices I do not own.

If you do see any issues - please raise an Issue and provide the logs (preferably logcat logs with logcat logging enabled in NetherSX2 (it's in the Advanced section))
