Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?
Vimm.net seems to be entirely comprised of emulators.
I found it on c/crackwatch. It links to this predb site which prompts you to download a text file that has the same instructions in it as the website. The first instruction says “extract”. Extract what? It also says I have to change firewall settings so the game can’t connect to the internet and I’ve no idea how to do that.
I don’t see Tony Hawk or any other games on that megathread site.
All these torrent sites just seem to link back and forth to each other.
Search results for a good place to find Torrents turn up nothing but VPN ads.
vimm is for old console/handheld games. on the megathread link go to the games section, go to ones of the torrent sites in general purpose and look up tony hawk
If you can’t click 3-5 links within the megathread rentry link and search for one the game you want on lets say 1337, then maybe paying is more your speed
If you live in one of those countries that go after pirate torrenters, (i.e. the united states) then you either shell out money for a VPN or get rate limited by one of the shitty free ones.
Not sure if you are allowed to post direct links here but when I want pirated steam games I always go to https://cs.rin.ru/forum
Search for the game, click on its thread and browse the pages until you find a good crack or repack (fitgirl, dodi and others posts their repacks on that site) or sometimes you will have to download the clean non cracked files on there and patch it yourself. Fortunately that’s quite easy.
PSA you need to make an account before links will show, and if the download is encrypted/locked, the password is always “cs.rin.ru” unless something else is specified.
NB: I obviously can’t guarantee that the download is safe, but I would trust it. You could also check the other pages if someone you trust (like fitgirl) posted something

Thread hijack:
Has anyone found a Tony Hawk PS1+2 file? Not about to pay $40 for some online-only BS.
vimm.net has it, the megathread has a lot of good resources
Which megathread?
it’s on the sidebar, but here’s a direct link to it: https://rentry.co/megathread
I’m so very confused.

I went to 1337 and literally all I got was ads.
vimm.net has emulators, but they also have Playstation 1 - 3 games under the Vault section.
I was looking for the new Steam game…
man I thought you meant the tony hawk games for the playstation 1 and 2
LOL no PS = Pro Skater

The post by “Masquerade” looks promising.
