Which Console Platforms Does ROM-NEWS Cover?

ROM-NEWS (rom-news.org) lists 15 console platform labels in its top navigation: 3DS, GBA, GBC, NDS, NGC, NSW, PS3, PS4, PSP, PSV, Wii, WiiU, Xbox, X1, and X360. These are the platforms visible on the page, grouped below by manufacturer and by handheld versus home console. The list reflects what the site displays and may not be exhaustive.

Platform list by manufacturer

Label meanings

• Nintendo handhelds: 3DS (Nintendo 3DS), GBA (Game Boy Advance), GBC (Game Boy Color), NDS (Nintendo DS).
• Nintendo home consoles: NGC (GameCube), NSW (Nintendo Switch), Wii, WiiU.
• Sony handhelds: PSP (PlayStation Portable), PSV (PlayStation Vita).
• Sony home consoles: PS3 (PlayStation 3), PS4 (PlayStation 4).
• Microsoft home consoles: Xbox (original Xbox), X1 (Xbox One), X360 (Xbox 360).

How to use the platform list

1. Open rom-news.org.
2. Find the row of bracketed platform labels near the top of the page, under the "ROM-NEWS ->" heading.
3. Select the label for the platform you want; the site presents each platform as a separate entry point.

Expected result: you land on the section for that platform rather than a combined all-platform index.

What the list does not tell you

The page evidence shows only the navigation labels and a view/color menu (amiga, nfo, dos, n00dle; light, dark, matrix). It does not state how many titles each platform section holds, whether every label has content behind it, or whether additional platforms exist outside the visible navigation. Treat the 15 labels as the site's advertised coverage, not a verified catalog count.

Quick check before relying on a platform

• Confirm the label you need appears in the navigation row; if it does not, the site does not advertise that platform.
• Note that older and newer generations are mixed (for example, GBC alongside NSW), so coverage is broad rather than limited to one era.
• If you need a platform outside this list, the visible page gives no indication that it is supported.
