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

Would it be feasible to have/create something similar on I2P?

[-] WarmApplePieShrek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Yes. How good is the speed of I2P now during the DDoS?

Esa? European space agency?

Is this because of the HD PC port recompilation posts of Majora's Mask etc? Sigh.

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

Its also some Sega games and a lot of other stuff that cit destroyed, ESA or something got involved

I have some sets for early systems. Find romsets on other sites. Store them and make your own torrents, working on one but its currently broken
