Nintendo Cracking Down on DS Rom Sites

[anaxs]

i go to a specific one and i go to the best one
as long as thats running im happy

Maybe they should do what Sony did to PSP every week a new update for no reason... Just to block the flashcarts.

Already happened with the DSi however it's partially cracked.

Amen to that!

I meant N has to make a new update every week. Not ever 2-3 months.

There really needs to be an ISP that would allow unlimited file sharing and downloading of games, movies, music, and software however, it would be premium cost like $100-$200 a month.

what? most ISP here in Portugal nowadays do that... and we have high prices, compared to some countries in Europe...(100 MB/s for about 60€, unlimited, 20MB/s for 30€, all unlimited traffic).

Meh...my 3 main sites I use are all still up, but I didn't check the other 12 ( LOL! ) sites in my list......they're just backups and are usually far behind in releases anyway.

Actually, let me check my 12 other sites......

...heh, ALL of them are still there. Whatever sites they took down weren't any that I use.

But then again, they probably just sent out the C&D letters today, so it may take a day or two for sites to respond to the warning.

I guess all the supposed attacks on ROM sites might be because Ninty's got a searing case of red-ass from how fast the DSi's 1.4 firmware was worked around, and the millions of DSlite/phat's that will NEVER be stopped. Because you KNOW they blame the lack of sales of their shovelware on piracy.

luckily my main site is aswell
nintendo can't win.
we have torrents. we have usenets. we have downloads. and we have the technology...

 

[p1ngpong]

Meh if I cant download games from the internet I will just start shoplifting them!

 

[Hop2089]

Talking about that, there's a big news stroy in the UK today about goverment wanting isp's to cut off anyone caught file sharing.

If that ever happens that'll be in 2012...and chances are we'll have a different government, we'll definitely have someone else in charge and even then the EU are against it because its against human rights to ban people from using the internet.

For downloading pirated content yes it's against human rights, but some terrible people need to be banned from the using the internet (I think you all know what kind of people I speak of).

 

[eltrut]

Mine's still up, although I do mainly use homebrew now, some pretty addictive ones out there (Triple Triad, I'm looking at you!)

 

[FlatFrogger]

Nintendo don't send the emails out the ESA does.

Fear mongering at best.

As for the UK Gov they're a load of shit, road to 1984 here we come.

 

[Chris_Skylock]

rom sites are so yesterday, torrents FTW!!

seriouslly, who uses rom sites these days?

 

[luke_c]

I'm sure alot more people uses Rom Sites over Torrents.

 

[Zerrix]

Okay, I just checked 6 of the most known Rom-Sites on the Net... They're still up, so I really don't know what they have shut down.

 

[Langin]

I know theve putted down sites from the same owner( I know him from msn) all those sites where looking different but they where really from the same owner!!!!!!!(my regular workz)

 

[Maz7006]

both of my regulars are still up.

Same, wonder for how long

meh there are always torrents.

 

[imz]

Rom sites are a lot easier and quicker for me, however if they close down I'll be willing to switch to torrents

 

[moodswinger]

I've checked and the only site closed is the first one when you search on google. "Goodby!"

 

[anaxs]

well my main one is still up
it starts with an "r" and ends with an "n"
and i know for a fact that thats the most popular web and alot of people go to it
