No goddamit, freeshop accesses the official eshop server, if nintendo deleted aything from there, not even legal users could download it.

Oh my god this is still going on? A group of people and I have already archived all the Nintendo ROM's (Excluding 3ds+), case closed, they should be coming out to Torrent sites everywhere anytime now. AS for 3ds stuff, freeShop exists guys.

/thread.

Stop bumping this pointless and completely fake news thread.
This thread should've never been started considering the assertions of op were never accurate.

Well, if you're talking about ROM sites, then yeah, they've been doing that for a good few years now (coolrom, may you rest in peace).

Yeah. Nintendo ROMs are gone in Coolrom but I am surprised that two companies (Can't say it) doesn't care about their ROMs/IOS are still there. Interesting.

Again... CoolROM has deleted all of their roms years ago.

I understand that part, what I meant was that it sounded like they were getting the titlekeys removed from the titlekey website. If that was true, downloading the encTitleKeys.bin thing then opening Freeshop would not show those games in the list, but it does.

Needed more roms for my Pi one day,go on emuparadise and could find no fucking nintendo games and immediately knew they got hit with a DMCA.

Only good thing is that dropboxes/mega uploads can't be DMCA'd as easily.

The paradise one has most notable first party titles removed and even some 3rd party ones like the SNES Street Fighter titles removed.

I get that they're protecting their intellectual property and have every right to, but aside from virtual console (which a lot of titles aren't on) they're not going to make any money off of.

If they had some sort of digital download service where you could buy ROMs for personal use (outside of virtual console, like buy ANY game worth playing) and charged less than VC prices then they'd actually make some money. There wouldn't be as much of a reason to pirate if you could buy NES and SNES games for like $1 or $2. Of course this would also be terrible for used game stores.

Why WOULD they is a better question honestly. No point in reinventing the wheel, investing time and money into basically replicating existing data. It takes a fair amount of time and setup to dump NES carts and a mere fraction of a second per Rom to download a copy of a verified valid Rom.
Hypocrisy is the issue. These rom files are not 1:1 dumps of the original carts. Emulators at the time these dumps were made were unable, may still be unable, to read raw binary. The roms were modified in order to be launched which is why they have a unique file extension. Nintendo is "pirating" modified versions of their software to resell. They built their virtual consoles on the work of emulator devs. Then they have the audacity to sit in their self righteous towers and preach about not pirating the unclean/stolen software they have for sale.

Well yeah it's cloud storage. That gives them room for defense. They're not intentionally hosting copyrighted materials and this would likely need to be looked at with a case by case basis and not a big "umbrella" DMCA.

They're obviously just protecting their property, and ROM sites were always on the list. Surprised it went on this long. Nintendo's takes down edited game footage, they're not open minded enough for ROM sites.

There's still that magical place of magical charms, where no one gets anything taken down.
