The Iso Zone joins the list of romsites removing their warez downloads links
UPDATE: A statement was made.

Yeah, that's completely understandable. What's not okay is that they're closing entire sites over it, which means directly infringing on other companies games on the site. Sure, take down your games, but leave Sony or Atari or whoever to sort out their own IPs. It's not supposed to be within Nintendo's jurisdiction, but they're doing it anyway since other companies don't care.
nintendo are not the ones who are taking down the sites the site owners are taking them down nintendo is basically saying remove all of our content which many sites reply to that is shutdown
They aren't doing it without reason. Nintendo have been known to hand out DMCAs recklessly and the sites are fearing a full-scale takedown or potential legal battle, which is clearly not worthwhile.
This joke is too perfectly timed, save it for when another site goes down next week.
Man oh man, it’s becoming harder and harder to find ROMs it seems. That kinda sucks, but eh. I won’t be affected all that much tbh. Before you know it though, they’ll all be GBAtemp clones.
It's a real shame because they were one of the last few sites to offer original Xbox releases which are becoming more difficult to obtain. They also offered other stuff on there like original PC games and stuff that you just can't find anymore.
*EDIT* Even non piracy stuff like PC apps and stuff that you can't find anywhere else. I mean they archived a TON of stuff over many years and it's just gone.

Open Letter to Warez Site Admins,
If you don't host your warez stuff in Russia or China, kiss it goodbye.
Thank You, z

Whether it's entirely all gone is up for debate. This new site doesn't seem to have much in the ways of those files, but supposedly, they're saying they're migrating the content over. Until that actually happens, though...I went there for a ton of Xbox homebrew. Don’t tell me that stuff I’m gone as well.
FUCK
Sorry, Emuparadise and TheIsoZone were my two go-tos. I understand their decisions, those are just two really big blows to me in terms of retro game downloads

Same. Thankfully there's still a bunch of xbox sites out there that offer xbox homebrew (ex. emulators and stuff) but the games are becoming more difficult to obtain. I usually grab everything off bins but a lot of the emulators have updates and stuff that you'll need to find by searching.
If it’s not migrated, then it may be best to make a reprository of some of those Xbox homebrew apps here. There is some apps there you can’t find anywhere else.

Too bad for them I'm downloading every old generation ROM I can get my hands on. Why? To piss them off mostly, it's fun and cathartic to do this out of spite. Overly protective jerks. They're protecting their IP, yes, but at the same time, refusing to allow more games to be legally obtains, why? Because stupidity.
Fuck Nintendo.

Nintendo are taking down a lot of games out of spite so I don't see what's the harm in an eye-for-an-eye tactic in this case. It's now or never.
The way I see it, if the company that makes the game is not making any money off it anymore, it’s fare game. I think it’s wrong for games to just disappear forever, they should be preserved in some way.

Some people have been arguing that "people should preserve their games by buying cartridges, etc". Oh really? There are a finite no. of copies of games, how on earth are a lot of people to preserve them by that BS? Nintendo's lawyers can suck it.
If Nintendo could have it their way, they would destroy all existing carriages and have everyone re-buy them on current platforms.

Yeah, they would do something stupid like that.
Maybe I'll just buy 8tb and get all of the bigger rom sets once and for all, like PS1 and 2 which I never play anymore.
Unlike emuparadise not being a rom website anymore this one isn't too big of a issue since everything is being preserved and moved to another website with the same links and everything.

Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable

Sicklyboy:
I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
