1. Find your game

Choose a project in the catalog and check its operating system support. Each page explains which original files you need and links to the official source.

2. Gather your original files

Ports typically do not include commercial game data. Check which editions and regions the project accepts before you begin. RecompAtlas does not provide ROMs, ISOs or these files.

3. Download from the source

Use the button on the game page. On the official website, choose the package for your operating system and computer architecture. Read the release notes.

4. Set up and play

Extract or install the application, provide your files when prompted and configure your controls. Some projects require compilation; the catalog highlights this requirement.
