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
Need a list of missing games first.
Nintendo is just cheap Japanese Disney for gamers. They're every bit the corporate monster the mouse is, they're simply just not as powerful yet.
Are these roms/hacks that aren't in the roms megathread? I'd have to assume most of these already have duplicates somewhere else just by nature of them being put online
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.
It's honestly kind of amazing that it lasted so long in the first place
I'm gonna miss vimms lair, never told a soul about it. And I'd help but my internet is terrible rural internet.
Vimms always appeared first in Google searches for ROMS. it was inevitable
Ugh...Next will be the Archive
It reads like many ROMs are already gone? So any archive created now would be incomplete, right?
Centralized archives will always be vulnerable to this.
Is there a list of impacted roms?
Not sure, but the blast radius is tremendous, even games from the Atari 2600, a console released nearly fifty fucking years ago have been taken down.
Damn it how will I play my annual 20 minutes of Pitfall now. This is terrible.
