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

They should still be on myrient, not?

For now. Myrient doesnt use torrents either so when Nintendo comes for them the files are gone

Is there a way to download their entire archive?

The site says 200tb, and I'm mostly interested in the nes, SNES and genesis archive. I've got archives of every game made for those already, but I don't have every mod and such. Those archives are very small, the nes one is a few hundred megabytes. I'm guessing most of that big number is ps1, 2 and n64 games. I'd probably be interested in archiving those as well but I think the old pre 3d console games are probably worth saving more, since not many people have copies.
