Roms Megathread

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 4 points 6 months ago

Download, box art, and screen shots unavailable at the request of Nintendo of America

Well that's annoying.

That said you can find lots of archives here

I've been using a wonderful internet archival service, never fails, always has all the romsets.

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Which one, and which sets?

I used internet archive and nearly poisoned my batocsra drive with bootlegs

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

Check the comments, the nointro sets were fine when I used them. I don't download the complete sets because it's full of stuff I'd never touch

[–] 3dom@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I typically grab the 1g1r (1 game 1 rom) sets. There’s a really good collection there.

Vimm's Lair? I just checked and the site is up

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

A good chunk of ROMs are ubdiwnloadable

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's horrible

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

Yea

I was just poking around on there and couldn't find any that I couldn't download. Do you have a specific game?

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Try nes punch out. Or anything by Nintendo,

[–] nathan@ten1919.com 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i am able to view and download without issues. I am located in the US if that matters.

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it was Nintendo of america that did it, good to see vimm retrun :D

[–] nathan@ten1919.com 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

After some looking, now the box art is gone :c

Mainly for Mario and stuff. Also zelda

Only effects earlier gen consoles

I know. I used Vimm too, and still do for very certain stuff. Being in emulation scene since over ~~15~~ 20 years and only discovered Vimm last year, lol. This wouldn't be the first major site we lose. Whatever happens, there will always be such sites. So don't worry, Nintendo can't fight entire world, nor want they.

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

I know, I'm just pisses cos vimm had the best ui.

Sure, they only had up to 5th-6th gen devices but their ui was fucking excellent

Good riddance to that one txt file with all their Roms tho
