Nah, just let them be paranoid. There will always be reliable ROM websites, they will pop up again...

It doesn't host any ROMs.

It's fine, even though it has moved since the last time I was there...

What are you talking about? I literally just looked at it, it's fine...

I would say because it's "private" server and does not contain actual ROMs

I never said it wasn't.

I never said it wasn't.

You said it didn't host any ROMS, even though the title keys are still up... Are you talking about thatISOsite?

No? Title keys aren't ROMs. He asked why it hasn't been affected, and it's because Nintendo went after ROM hosts.

 

[Kubas_inko]

Even if they remove it from some sites, still quick google search shows you tons of sites with some "removed" games

The information in OP is just plain wrong.
This whole thread is pointless.

Nintendo has always targeted rom sites. Also, Monster Hunter XX is available on freeshop.
You should all stop bumping this pointless thread.

However freeshop is not a suitable replacement as it does not let you keep a copy for other uses later, whether for romhacking or for when the servers eventually shut down. Freeshop only lets you install a copy of the original, unmodified game.

If you go on that IsoZoneSite you can find alot of nintendo romsets that are verified.

I understand that, just the way you phrased it made me think that you were confusing the two. Therefore, I asked to see if you were talking about thatISOsite. It's just a misunderstanding..

There are some ROM sites that haven't been hit yet... Maybe because they aren't actually hosting ROMs, but instead are linking them to a bunch of other sites...

How come? I thought that you can download the games and then convert those downloaded games to cia? Am I wrong?

I don't think that gives you a proper, "good" cia. The only supported way I know of to do that is to use ciangel as neither cdn-fx or 3dsestuff are being updated (though it is possible to manually edit the 3dsestuff config file to make it work with the new title key site).

I was mainly stressing the point that OP is wrong.
The OP has claims that Monster Hunter XX is not available on freeshop. Which is false.
The OP also claims that Nintendo is suddenly going after rom sites, which again is false. Nintendo has always gone after rom sites. This whole thread is pointless.

Well, fuck. My favourite ROM site no longer has Nintendo published games available to download. I'm sure they're still available on the internet if you look hard enough but the best source on the internet which I know of isn't what it used to be.

This website

The internet died ages ago. Sure there is stuff still out there if you look hard enough, yet nothing is freely out there now and if you live in the UK, well, a lot of sites (torrents) are not accessible anymore unless you have a VPN.

In Australia you need only change your DNS settings to access a certain Swedish torrent site. It's probably not the only blocked website, but it's the only one I know of.

I don't get how this is 'new' news?!
Nintendo have ALWAYS gone after sites hosting roms of their properties, going right back to the late 90's... some get away with it longer than others, some are harder to track down, some stay under the radar by not becoming too 'public'... and on the other end of the spectrum there are those that have always refused to host Nintendo roms, purely because they know it makes them a target.
