I'm shocked, but not surprised... if that makes sense. Just checked a few of the common sources and they have no more Roms to download. Besides one source so far. I'm so glad to gone through all the trouble and archived the last couple of years on my local drives. Now its the time to do your local backups on USB hard drives, as you don't know what will happen next.

It'll be okay. I remember panicking years ago when they attacked other ROM sites. The games will go back up. Maybe in another location, but they always go back up. They cut off one head and another two grow back

Good point.

So, now I have generations 1-4 + GBA basically. Gen 5 will.be an issue because those damn filesizes.

I've done what I can

I've really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.

I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn't take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How do I do that? It sounds like a great idea

I can't find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

I haven't tried it yet, but there might be a better or easier way!
