For all the budding musicians out there who've always wanted to play instrumentals to their favourite video game tunes, today I've started a brand new Sheet Music Section. You'll find that this section is full of good stuff in PDF and other formats. We've got music sheets for 20 games so far (mind you, these are only partial collections) and will be adding more through the next few weeks. So if you want to rock the next party with some uber cool live video game music, check out our Sheet Music Section.

Thanks to our mate ilefys, we've got a bunch of brand new Strategy Guide Scans. Seven new guides to help you with those tough new games. Check 'em out by clicking the images below:

I've just completed a massive server move for our files. We've moved to a data center with over 100GBps of available network bandwidth from multiple network providers. Plus, our server runs on a dedicated 1GBps line over there so all our users should be able to get good speeds! You should definitely see speed improvements with some of our downloads [US PSX ISOs, Sega CD ISOs, Neo-Geo CD ISOs, Sega Dreamcast ISOs, and more..!]. Thanks for making this possible folks, keep telling all your friends about emuparadise, we're getting better everyday!

I've just added issues 1 to 30 of Retro Gamer Magazine to our Magazine Scans section in PDF format. Some more info on Retro Gamer Magazine:

Retro Gamer is a British magazine, published worldwide, covering retro video games. It was the first commercial magazine to be devoted entirely to the subject. Although launched (in January 2004) as a quarterly publication, Retro Gamer's soon became a monthly. In 2005, a general decline in gaming and computer magazine readership led to the closure of its publishers, Live Publishing, although the rights to the magazine were later purchased by Imagine Publishing.

Grab Retro Gamer Magazine Scans and tons more at our Gaming Magazine Scans Section.

I've just added the Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core Soundtrack to our High Quality Soundtracks Section. This is a two disc OST featuring some AMAZING derivates of Final Fantasy VII music. Definitely worth listening to. Click on the cover image below to get to the soundtrack in High Quality MP3.

I've just added Season 1, Season 2 and the Christmas Specials of Pac-Man: The Animated Series to our Video Game TV-Shows Section. Pac-Man aired from 1982 to 1984 and ran for two seasons. The first season had 24 episodes and the second season had 15 episodes. Apart from these, there was a Christmas special episode which has also been made available.

You can download the entire collection from our Video Game TV-Shows Download Section.

Well, it's time for something a little different this weekend. I've just added a new section containing official console SDKs for Sony, Sega, Nintendo, Atari, etc. systems. You can grab SDKs (Software Development Kits) for consoles ranging from the Nintendo GBC, Gamecube, N64 to the Sony Playstation 1, Sega Dreamcast and more. This section is aimed at helping game developers and enthusiasts keep their passions alive by enabling them to take a look at how things were done before as opposed to the modern platforms in use today. Folks can also use this section to develop new titles for these systems. Pretty nifty if you ask me and great to spend a weekend tinkering around with. Check out our new Video Game Console SDKs Section.

I just found this and I have to say that it's one of the coolest Zelda art collections that I've ever seen. Being a big Zelda fan, I find that this is a gem for fans around the world! Nintendo Dream's Feb 2010 issue included a 100 page (yes, HUNDRED PAGE!) collection of Legend of Zelda artwork. Some really amazing stuff covering titles right from the start until the latest concept art for the next Zelda game on the Nintendo Wii. I've uploaded a scanned version for you to check out and download. Click on the cover image to grab this awesome collection!

Well, that's quite a handful. For those of you who're into Nintendo DS ROMs we're running a pretty cool contest here at emuparadise. You can enter to win an Acekard 2i (infact we're giving away THREE of them)! All you have to do is design a wallpaper themed around video games and emuparadise in general, and the wallpaper must say emuparadise.org somewhere on it. The contest ends on the 25th of April and all the details you need are there on our main page (above where the news usually appears). Oh and you can use an Acekard 2i to play your ROMs on a real Nintendo DS, just like any other game. Pretty cool, huh! Well, check out our contest and to grab some Nintendo DS ROMs, head to our New Releases Section.

Thanks to Petar30, we've finally managed to acquire some missing issues of Nintendo Power Magazine that weren't available on the site before. You can now check out the issues all the way up to #169 at our Magazine Scans Section. Enjoy!

You might have noticed already but this is for those that haven't seen this yet. We've started adding HTTP mirrors to all our popular ROM/ISO Sections. We're using Megaupload for this since it's really great for large files and allows most people to download at good speeds, plus, files last longer =)

You'll find that most of our Sony Playstation, DC, Saturn ISOs, and N64 ROMs, SNES ROMs, etc. will have Megaupload mirrors (URLs) available for them. Feel free to copy/paste these into your browsers and grab your downloads fast.

Check out our ROMs, ISOs and Games Download Section for some fast downloads! : )

I've just added two new soundtracks in High Quality FLAC to our High Quality Video Game Soundtracks Section. The two albums are Final Fantasy XI - Rise of the Zilart OST and Final Fantasy Mix by Naoshi Mizuta and Nobuo Uematsu respectively. Very good soundtracks with some great music for you to listen to. Click on the covers below to head to their download pages! :)

I'm sure many of you love the Pink Floyd album: Dark Side of the Moon. It's true that some of my all-time favorite tracks come from that album. Well, this dude called Brad Smith from Ontario (Canada ?) has re-made the entire album with NES 8-bit sounds. How cool is that ? I checked out some tracks such as Us And Them, Money, and a few more and they're really well done! Definitely worth checking out for both Floyd fans as well as Nintendo 8-bit fans around the world. Looks like the cold weather in Canada is good for something after all =D

Download the entire Dark Side of the Moon in 8-bit. (oddly in 192kbps MP3 :P) Also, check out the project homepage.
