List your best sites for DOS-ROM downloads. This one seems quite fantastic, but they force you to download full ROM-sets unless you debit a membership.

Myabandonware is the best and it also has a large selection of App-RAMs if you want old Ape ][ / Lisa floppies games.

I will never understand normies who download ROMs one at a time. For most systems, entire No-Intro sets take up a negligible amount of storage and you're guaranteed to have a perfect dump, as opposed to whatever random trash dump gets uploaded to these websites.

Your comparison is flawed anon. When people say not to share links to rom/ISO websites they don't imply that illegal downloading is covered up, they simply don't want those sites to be taken down because they know lawyers are lurking and paid to send C&D letters to those owners. Hence posts like >>5253030.
