Where sharing is a priority
Thanks for using Myrient! If you like what we are doing and want to help support our cause, please make a donation!
Myrient is a video game content archive where you can download content to use in emulators and on real systems. Everything is free and no account registration is required.
Yes. Myrient was created to give users an unlimited ad-free and malware-free experience.
Myrient is a portmanteau of the words "myriad" and "entertainment", referring to the countless amount of video game content that is difficult to access or no longer available legitimately.
If you like our service, you can support us by making a donation.
We also accept missing content from users like you. More details are in our Upload page.
No-Intro, Redump, and TOSEC are groups that catalog games.
No-Intro specializes in cartridge-based games and digital content, Redump specializes in disc-based games, and TOSEC specializes in both. TOSEC-ISO and TOSEC-PIX are auxiliary sets of TOSEC.
It is important to note that they are not distributors of video game content; rather, they provide checksums and hashes to help ensure content is a 1:1 dump of the original copy. Without them, preserving content would be very difficult or impossible.
The search feature is versatile for filtering out all content except for a certain type. Here are a few usage examples:
You may use wget to download entire directories from Myrient using this command:
wget -m -np -c -e robots=off -R "index.html*" [URL]
FTP and rsync endpoints are also available to use.
We also recommend the following programs:
It is most likely due to high traffic or poor routing from our servers to your ISP. You may use a download manager that has the ability to download with multiple connections such as JDownloader, Free Download Manager, or Motrix.
Note: If you are downloading multiple files at once, it is very likely that you are saturating the advertised speed of your ISP.
Myrient has a limited number of servers for downloading via FTP and rsync. If you are experiencing slow download speeds from these endpoints, it may be due to high usage. Please use the website to download content instead or be patient.
When compared to the 7-Zip format, ZIP archives are easier to manage and use. The ZIP format usually does not require the installation of a third-party program.
The difference in file size between ZIP and 7-Zip has a negligible impact on our storage usage.
All content can be verified by calculating the size and checksums (CRC-32, SHA-1, SHA-256, and MD5) of the file(s) inside the ZIP archive and comparing them to what is presented on No-Intro for the No-Intro collection, Redump for the Redump collection, and dats.site for the GameCube RVZ, Wii RVZ, and Wii U WUX sets. If they match, the content has not been tampered with.
All ZIP files were compressed using a standard format called TorrentZip, which helps ensure all files compressed result in identical archives. The 8 characters after "TORRENTZIPPED-" represent the CRC-32 checksum of all the files in the archive's central directory. The string does not affect the data contained within the archive in any way.
As rom hacks are continuously updated and difficult to verify, Myrient will not offer pre-patched ROMs for download.
Myrient will not offer private sets. Only sets that have been made public are available, with the exception being certain non-current generation systems, GDI, SBI, and key files.
As content in sets are always being added or updated, they naturally also have to be updated anywhere else they are available. Torrents are impossible to update without using BitTorrent v2, which has support for mutable torrents but is not widely adopted yet and has caveats. From a realistic standpoint, no one would seed the torrents and it would just be a fancy form of direct downloading but with implied risks.
The RVZ format is unconventional by Redump standards and the only format Myrient offers for GameCube and Wii to save storage. If you already have the beta or development version of Dolphin, skip steps 2 and 3.

The WUX format is unconventional by Redump standards and the only format Myrient offers for Wii U to save storage. If you already have WudCompress, skip step 2.
