    Hi, I apologize if this is a redundant question, but I couldn't find the answer. I found some instructions that told me how to load a game, but I can't find a "ROM file" to load. The closest thing I found was /usr/share/higan/Super Famicom.sys/ipl.rom. I'm trying to play SimCity, and I heard there's one on SNES; but I'll take a newer version if any. I only have the free software repos enabled.

    You will need a copy of the SimCity ROM image to load into Higan.
    For legal reasons, Higan does not come with Super Nintendo game ROMs.

    Can we give out search terms?

    Try searching for
    archive org snes rom


    My current setup: Super Famicom ("2/1/3" SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02) → SCART → OSSC → StarTech USB3HDCAP → AmaRecTV 3.10

    You could also look for the torrent archive of SNES ROMs, NoIntro is pretty good about that sort of thing and it's only like, a gig or two in size.

    I do recommend getting the full archives for all cartridge consoles (GBA, N64 and lower), as the total amount is something around 10-15 GB - peanuts considering a 2TB NVMe disk costs less than $100 today. As for disc based consoles, well, that's a different story... I think the full PS1 collection is something around 100 GB, and Saturn is like 60 GB. Dreamcast is probably pretty small too, as is Gamecube. After that though, we're talking DVD games, so now we're talking dedicated NAS and SAN setups - not really worth it.

    You could probably fit all the ROM archives of commercial games in all regions for all home consoles released before the year 2000 on a 500 GB drive, perhaps a 1TB drive tops.

      This does not actually go there and I regret nothing.
