Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be removed soon with ios emulation and retro handhelds bringing so much attention to roms and these sites
fuck nintendo

You know humanity is fucked (pun unintended) when the post with the most likes is actually "fuck (insert whatever)".
Nooo… that was my goto rom archive after emuparadise went down. F u Nintendo I‘m not paying a monthly subscription to play retro games.
Let's start mirroring and torrenting full ROMsets!
The whole point of IP laws (according to the Constitution of the United States) is to develop a robust public domain. Every registered idea, multiplied by every limited rights extention is a violation of public interest and public rights.
By burying or failing to preserve content, they are in fact stealing from the public, since we won't be able to access it when it is our right.
Someone should present this to some progressive legislative body so that we can develop a safe haven for archiving games.
Well there is the Stop Killing Games initiative started by Ross Scott and supported by the Pirate Parties. If they succeed, companies selling games in recent years will be required to either keep supporting their game or to make it available in a way so that others can ensure its continued support.
When this is achieved the step to free older games is small.
If you live in Europe you have the chance to support the movement by vote in the upcoming elections.
This shit pisses me off so much. I need a gun
Use a NES Zapper converted to an actual gun, seems fitting.
Why not a super scope ?
Any updates on this? I can't provide much, as Nintendo games are not something I'm interested in, but I guess I can allocate 800-1000GB or so for some time for this, if there's an archive torrent already made
Found a comment below, but after thinking about it we'd need something a bit more "official" and "centralized", like Vimm's was, otherwise we'd be spreading it too thin and would end up with many different un-searchable, un-findable torrents with few seeds for the same things
We need explicit legislation against this type of behavior.
Dang I thought they would never get hit...
Why would you think that?
I saw that place gained lots of popularity fairly recently... Mostly on Reddit.
Isn't there a way to just host all those roms in a site where Nintendo has no jurisdiction?
I guess I just didn't see people talking about it, but I must've missed it or been on the wrong subreddits
As to the second question I have no idea
I've seen the occasional copyright notice on that site before, it was inevitable.
Darn that sucks.
