Nintendo Cracking Down on DS Rom Sites

[Jakob95]

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

Lmao I use the same one its the best one there is. It has not only DS roms but all other system games too.

 

[Santee]

Nintendo fighting technology well see how good they fare agianst the robots in the coming years.

rom sites are so yesterday, torrents FTW!!

seriouslly, who uses rom sites these days?

Are you seriously trying to say that torrents are better than direct downloads?

 

[Zerousen]

lolz i would rather have a direct download then a torrent.Then again, its just my opinion...

Honestly...I didn't know people could ever actually prefer torrents over a direct downloads...

I'd have to agree here. I didn't know people actually used a torrent for something as simple as a ROM.

 

[elixirdream]

i am from yesterday but my sources would usually have the games 1-2 hours before scene release or maybe 1 hour right after the scene release

torrent? i never have any luck because it test my GOOGLE skills which i suck
ya.. even i can find a torrent for it! it usually take hours to download

the speed sucks

 

[R2DJ]

LOL It's the best time for me to do a second attempt on downloading all DS ROMs (yes I did it before when it was only 2000 of them) but this time I'll only DL the ones worth playing.

I only have one regular left in my arsenal. Guess I'll hunt down the new ones and the ones I don't know yet.

I hope I get to DL Pokemon HeartGold before I run out of sites to look for.

Rom sites are much faster (for me) than torrents are.

Yup, and much more organized and reliable for me.

I'd have to agree. The one I use is almost always up to date. Not saying it though, lest Ninty get their greasy paws on it.

I also agree. I bet you torrent using people will get the same amount of games over night that I can get in 20 minutes. I also have the torrent site starting with a "r" and ending with a "n".

It's just stupid, take down rom sites and people will replace it with several in order to supply demand. Then there's also torrents and IRC networks that offer roms...Nintendo can't win.

 

[injected11]

Nintendo makes millions upon millions of dollars a year. I'm pretty sure Nintendo "wins". Their attempt to stop piracy is just an effort to increase that "win" margin.

 

[ca_michelbach]

I didn't mean it like that, I meant that no matter what nintendo does there will always be people who are going to pirate their games.

 

[funem]

usenet? Torrents? They can try an fight piracy but wont ever win.

No one can other than your internet service provider, who wouldn't anyway to avoid you dropping their service.

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.

Yeah, I heard about that in the news. Hopefully TalkTalk will be kind enough to leave me alone...

Stupidy they said if you file share from certain sites, but not what you were sharing. Some people use torrent sites to get Linux install media from. There are also Fan movies available from the same sites. Now it will be interesting if they start baning users for downloading and sharing copyright free media... the crap will hit the fan then and there will be a lot of egg on faces.

My favorite has gone

Now I've had to sign up to one just to get a decent DL speed,

We can't also forget Video game remixes and legitimate programs where people don't have enough bandwith.
Maybe they will come round our houses and run some "hi-tech" scanner for krackz romz and serialz

 

[Rogue Trader]

Fear-mongering at its best- they can't win- one dies another one will pop up.

Also, the UK govt. thing- it's not like they need to be even MORE unpopular.....

 

[FluffyLunamoth]

I think someone needs to make a list of the ones that have gone down
