ROM and Software subforums

[Tsuioku]

As a new user, I am already finding many people looking for software and ROMs.
If a new subforum could be created to contain all the ROMs that people have cooked and (perhaps in another subforum) software/tools that would be useful, this change may allow users to find information much easily and reduce duplicate threads.

A lot of what you are asking can be found in wiki. (roms, How to)

As for sofware if you are looking for something I have found handango a good place to start.

I was thinking more along the lines of unofficial ROMs that people have already cooked. I generally frequent the Wizard upgrading forum and see threads with custom roms on many of the pages. Only roms I found on the wiki were retail/official roms. Also, I noticed that a search using the word "rom" does not turn up any results.
In regards to software, it would be freeware and tools such as lokiwiz, total commander etc. On second thought though, the software subforum may be unnecessary or can just be consolidated into one thread as a sticky.

The search for 3 letter words does not work, there is a post about that in about (thus "new rom" returns nothing.

Roms end up in wiki as users post them to ftp and link then to wiki.
(mods move then to a safe place on ftp and fix the link (if they know about it).

If you are finding no cooked roms in wiki its due to the fact that the cooker did not post them or if he did nobody linked them.

If you feel like adding a good/great/useful software section open a page on wiki, it free for all and that would solve your problem and maybe a few others as well. (in my link there is wiki developement and there you will find a smaple page which will give you a few ideas about how to set up a page).

This forum is more about roms and hacks around roms than software. Software does pop up in general as in "I am looking for a free ftp client".

Not sure if you will ever find a stick for it as threads get long and people will just enter "resco explore" on every other page (as an example).
