Romshepherd is gone, other sites followed.

what's the postman tracker?

its the torrent tracker hosted on i2p.

 

[AgentChet]

its simple really, all someone has to do is setup a static html site on i2p and host the torrent files there. then upload them to the postman tracker. ezpz.

hehehe, I2P reference

Nintendo got us right in the business. But ROM sites will always exist, new will come.
Nintendo has a long way still.

Maybe he meant "existed for me".. as in "I don't play cr#p !"

In my opinion copyright laws are a problem.

It really depends on which side of the fence you are on...
Even if it is a "fight against windmills", it still serves as statement of sorts *cough* souljaboy consoles *cough*
Furthermore, copyright is a way to make money... ask C#a-p-ison

(Not saying that some games shouldn't be available after a certain passage of time, heck, maybe even open source some of them... [thinking of megaman 2 source code loss, well done Capcom])

 

[Bladexdsl]

@pasc Why did you quote one sentence of my post stripping it from it's context? "In my opinion copyright laws are a problem." alone sounds pretty awkward and creates a false image of my post.

Not the existence of copyright laws in general is a problem. Protecting intellectual property of any kind by law is a good thing. But the current laws are far too one-sided and the protection time is in my opinion far too long. As a paying customer I want to keep access to the content I paid for. No matter if the original storage media or playback devices break.

With a quick search you can find the "notice of initiation of the preliminary investigation procedure", issued by AGCOM (the italian "Authority for Communications Guarantees") on the request of Nintendo Co. Ltd, addressed directly to Terra_Cresta.

Great news! Nice to see Nintendo taking action towards these sites! Keep up the great work, Nintendo!

 

[CeeDee]

Never heard of those ROM sites. And you still can get games from that one Paradise but it requires a lot of work, and no, I won't mention how to either.

something something download workaround.

Still better than using most other warez sites, I liked paradise fine.

 

[KingMuk]

Saddened to read that all these sites I've been using (like most of you) to download my roms are getting taken down 1 by 1. It's like...just fuck.

Way ahead of you on that workaround.

 

[LuxerWap]

Way ahead of you on that workaround.

I already knew about the workaround. It's quite easy to do it.

 

[kumikochan]

Nintendo is going after everybody, like the recent modding ban in Japan well i'm pretty sure Nintendo lobbyists have something to do with that since Microsoft and Sony have been going less against that and it's always Nintendo making problems out of that.

 

[codyjo]

Nintendo has something up their craw but whatever, I still have my romsets on an old hdd.

Another site, another pissing contest from entitled children. Oh, they took another one down?? OH NOES, WHAT EVER WILL YOU DO?! Oh, I know.... Browse the other several thousand sources readily available. FFS it's not hard if you really need to "archive" the older systems and games.

And as far as "that one site" goes, people can still get games from it, but it's a bit of hassle
