“Safe” ROM Sites

The one I use for pre-disc based systems isn't on there and I continue to like how my usual place seems a bit secretive.

I've used the top three for years as a fall back, not really familiar with the others. The issue these days I think is more about the dry up of console/PC style ISO drops as ROMs are a dime a dozen with a simple google search.

Same! I really feel like private sites are the way to go here. There's no such thing as a fail-safe where it comes to stuff like this, but as opposed to high visibility public repositories, private sites tend to present a comparatively low profile target.

Short of you know actually buying one.
