Gaming Why no more ROM collections?

[Gadgetguy]

Hello all,

quite a while ago some kind people created packages of a large number of .3ds files and posted them on torrents - making it easy to get a nice collection with one download.

Those (older) packages are still around - but I did not have any luck finding collections of never games. Do they exist? Where? Thank you for any pointers...

(I have found the obvious sites for single games - but no collections of recent stuff...)

Too much space, I guess? I know even with moderate Internet speeds, I can be waiting for about 10 minutes for the thing to arrive.

Hmm. That may make sense for some. What I found that there were always lots of people downloading (and sharing) the collections. I enjoy having a large pool of games to chose from - even if I rarely play them (some I never play). And the ones I play frequently (so more than just sampling it) - those I actually buy as I think the developers earned it. But I still miss the ability to save time by not having to get them one by one... (Donwload time is not an issue for me - I can start downoading a 50gb or 100gb collection and I have it next morning. That perfect for me)

Lol no one is going to give you links. You can't ask for those on gbatemp. No pointers either.

I don't have that much space on my computer/laptop to store games, and I rather download the games I want myself. (Remember to self - I need to find a copy of Hyrule Warriors Legends that actually works.)

How about I don't post links to roms.
And honestly it's better to just find the games you want instead of large package with most likely a ton of games you are going to delete. It's not hard to find roms.

Yes, it's like the LootCrate experience. Do I buy a mystery package that might have stuff I want or do I just buy what I want? If you go option 1: you have some extra stuff to do - like deleting your software that you don't want, OR selling the stuff you don't need. Option 2: You get the thing you REALLY want, and with no extra actions needed by you.

You didn't look hard at all. There are sticky threads on that ISO site that have exactly what you claim doesn't exist any more. Look harder.

On the "Chaos" site you can just download the tickets and then get all the games from the eshop. No need download large packs anymore.

And honestly, what's the marketshare of .3ds vs .cia nowadays?
