Site: ROMhacking.net Moves to News Only, Database and File Archive Released to Internet Archive

Been a frequent visitor of this site for many years. Sad news but I’m happy the content isn’t gone forever

It seems like the Archive.org .zip dump’s “size” is just 12580366816. I assume that’s bytes, which is only 12½ GB. That seems way too small to include all the romhacks, doesn’t it? I thought a lot created assets and HD textures and such. But that also seems like way too much to just be website data, and most hacks are tiny files.

Does anyone know what’s in that data dump? I’m tempted to download everything, even though I’d only ever use a miniscule percentage of it.
