Now would probably be a good time to mention private trackers. GGn usually has everything, isn’t too hard to maintain good standing, and has a relatively decent community.
Download all the roms, folks. I downloaded basically every rom years ago and now every time I see stuff about Nintendo going after roms I breath a sigh of relief knowing I have them all backed up on multiple hard drives.

Someone should upload those to the Internet Archive, just in case.
Or upload them to a yandex drive
Internet archive has to renew its copywrite every 3 years so who knows when it will be denied is the problem
I tried a (pre-color) game boy game ROM and the colors are all messed up and they aren’t consistent across a screen. What did I do wrong?
I have complete ROM sets for a couple of platforms in my archive, they’re available on SLSK but not a huge amount of bandwidth available.
Sad to see the old giants like Vimms finally being attacked after all these years.
I’m OOTL, which ROM sites got shut down?
EmuParadise and Romuniverse just recently got sued and are about to get shut down
Oh damn. Was coolroms part of that too? I’ve used emuparadise and coolroms a bunch over the years. Kinda makes me want to stock up just in case
No coolrom is still alive for now. But it is cause for concern. If you are interested the torrent link is there
Right on, thanks for the info!
Vimm’s just got a ton of games taken down too. They’re still up, but at a significantly reduced capacity.
I first enjoyed many classic courtesy of them.
Truly the end of an era

Is this is the same magnet link as the NES one? Cut and mistake or am I missing something?
It’s the same link as the NES one
One is NES and one is SNES. i think i am not mistaken?
Looks like the two (this and the NES) have the same UUID, pasting this on in to qbt gives me an error. I’m pretty sure they are the same link.

Yeah, except a way in.
Thanks, I have some random pile or NES roms having a good set will be nice. I appreciate the effort 😊
Seed them on I2P and nobody will be in danger of getting sued. If those ROM sites were on I2P too, they’d probably still be alive.

But theyd have nearly no seeders so they would be almost useless
Well, with that attitude the problem will persist 😉
Think of it as “also seeding on I2P”
That’s why I said “seed them on I2P” 😅

Hey, I like sailing the high seas as much as the next one but shouldn’t those links be relegated to the megathread?

How is the 3ds archive so big? SWIM’s archive is a few tens of GB and it’s every title listed in various game dbs
For the Wii there is mariocube but it’s Google drive links
