>Myrient closing downIT'S SO FUCKING OVER
zoomer phonefags ruin everything once again
>>733875416Who?
>>733875416At least it wasn't another copyright troll situation but the amount of places to download ROMs from big IPs is getting smaller.
>>733875595It's no one little boy. You can go back to your gacha live service games.
literally fucking who
Is there even a decent alternative?
Remember to gatekeep literally everything you enjoy.
>pirates don't like to spend moneyWOOOAH STOP THE FUCKIN PRESSES MAN!
It is actually fucking over holy shit
You don't hate AI enough
good thing ive mostly played all the emulatable games i want to
>>733875416Is that the download link in the /r/Roms Megathread site? If so, that sucks
gatekeep harder
>>733875810also the irony is palpable kek
>>733875865It was one of the best alternatives after zoomers fucked over vimm
>>733875836Thanks AI niggersHope your limp dicks were happy with the slop
The internet is being raped over and over again. Again and again and it'll never stop.
>>733875416>make a service that gets used by pirates>they aren't giving enough money so you have to close down operations
It IS fucking over. I didn't give a single shit until I actually bothered to google the site. I had no fucking idea that the only decent place to download PS2 and CG games was that fucking place. It's fucking over, time to spend 4 hours downloading a 700 mb file on the internet arquiveGonna stockpile some fucking shit I since I've been doing some retroachievement marathons recently for those systems I guess
>>733875416Literally who? Is there anyone who doesn't get their shit from cs.rin?
None of you donated, don't even complain.
>>733876013doesn't cdromance have pretty much every ps2 and gc game ever?
>>733876058I did.
The internet spaces gets smaller once again.
>>733875595>>733875743ROM/ISO site therefore zoom zoom shit for people who are too young to have said games.>>733876023Grow some standards.
>>733876076AI already got them too https://cdromance.my/
>>733876023cs.rin is my last choice because it's a pain in the ass digging through threads to find the actual functional mirror link and half the time it's uploaded by some sketchy sub 100 posts accountit's great for mega popular shit but anything more obscure is an asspain
wow first smiling friends and now myrientthis is pretty much 9/11 for every annoying faggot on the internet (myself included)
>>733876076Nope, just an archive and forum now.
Where else am I supposed to find unaltered ISOs of old PC games? Other sites are either preinstalled or altered in some way.
>shitendo releases a $20 GBA rom>rom site suddenly diesI'm nooooooooooooooooooooooticing
Why didn't you donate? Don't you care about game preservation?
>>733876149shut up retardhttps://cdromance.org/
>>733875795>>733875519>>733875874>didn't read the message>seethes about zoomersretards, it's because turd world pirates can't be bothered to give 5 bucks to keep the site running
>>733875836I do hate AI just enough. Arutha bot closed down last January too.
>>733876112good.
>>733876253>posting rom sites when ninteninjas browse these threadsok, now It's over lmao
>>733876209the fuck are you talking about, they updated hacks today
>>733875772Archive org, but then again some of the old PC games are hard to find and they can't be found on archive. Something like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 etc. There seems to be a gap between preserved 2004-2010 PC games because seems like people have been concentrating on consoles instead.
Now suddenly everyone in the myrient community is panicking and trying to raise funds
Please tell me they are mirroring their shit somewhere else like archive, anywhere
>>733876076No, CDRomance doesn't host games, please stop talking about it now please.
>>733876112Many such cases.
>>733876391He doesn't have the funds which is why he's closing down in the first place. Up to pirates to create mirrors of the content they've leeched.
I don't think there was a single good alternative. Myrient has everything from tosec to redump/no intro.My only hope is that AGI fails and those rich cunts die of old age.
>>733876397What the fuck are you retards talking about? Go there right now and you can see everything. I'm so tired of this retarded contrarian bullshit.
>>733875836How did Cyberpunk get it so right that AI will dystroy the internet? Or whatever it's been a while since I watched the anime.
>>733876391archive regularly wipes rom uploads so people stopped botheringthe future of this stuff is locked behind private trackers to keep hoards of zoomers at bay
>>733875416Picture perfect example as to why this website used to have a very staunch anti-spoonfeeding culture.
>>733876253The only retard here is you faggot, I hope you have whatever roms you want because I ain't sharing mine with you once every other sites get shut down thanks to the utter stupidity of their average user.
I already downloaded every videogame in existence a decade ago back when Emuparadise was king. Feel sorry for the younger generations who will never have the chance to play these games unless one just so happens to bump into me with a blank 20tb hdd
>>733876321They don't offer download links to anything on the main site that was uploaded after December 2025.
NOOOOOOOO
>>733876560Anyone with sense has been telling people for years to stop spoonfeeding zoomers or something like this will happen, of course they argued otherwise. The retards at Reddit also didn't help with their megathread that was one of the first results on jewgle.
>>733876290>paying to pirate
Welp, time to pay for every rerelease/port/remastered for $60
Plenty of time to download basically everything
>>733876669I don't know how you guys expect anyone to find anything when you refuse to even hint at shit on here for years and years and then get pissy when people on other sites share info. What mystical source are you consulting?
>>733876750Nobody's telling you shit anymore. You'll have to find out like we did. This is yet another site killed thanks to too much word of mouth.
Never heard of it
oh no, no you have to use the one of the other hundreds of websites and services
>>733876750NTA but you usually find them by mingling with communities that have shared interest. I found out about most pirate sites on /vg/ generals.
>>733876749Sure let me just buy a 18TB HDD so I can hoard everything and it's gone
>>733876694What is he doing?
These things feel almost impossible to gatekeep. There’s always some retard who ends up discovering download sites and then spread the word. But considering how little space roms take up from the sixth generation and earlier, there’s no reason not to keep romsets stored on some drive just in case
>>733876750>Nintendy, Snoy and Microshaft all want to kill their own legacy>"I know! Let's talk about where they can find the things they need to accomplish this openly so that they can find it and get rid of it as quickly as possible!"
>>733876837I've been here since 2008 and I spend more time shitposting than actually playing videogames and the amount of times I've seen anyone on here actually share sites can be counted on one hand.
>>733876920As opposed to what? Beaming the information into your head psychically? If fucking 4chan isn't obscure enough to talk, nowhere is.
>>733875416Torrents fix this issue. Is there a full siterip of Myrient and hshop erista (3DS archive)?
https://warosu.org/vr/thread/9156153
i voted for this
How do i download an entire set from there?
>>733877003>4chan>obscure
>>733877003>"WAAAAH! SPOONFEED ME LIKE THE RETARD I AM!"
>>733877065Why are these normalfags not being banned from the internet?
>>733877086I've barely ever seen any of you spoonfeed each other over years and years. If you don't want people to aggressively share this stuff on other sites then you need to provide an organic way to find them. Otherwise I'd do the exact same thing you are whining about in here and share them everywhere I can when I eventually do find one.
>>733877065Bring back goreposting to scare away the normies
>>733877246these days you'd prolly get mocked for being a tryhard edgelord
>>733877131The modern internet is fueled by clicks, likes, advertisements, marketing, subscriptions and engagement with "content". There is financial incentive to make videos so that normalfaggots click on it, 500 million+ thirdies getting internet access all around the same time on mobile devices compounds this cancerous dynamic that's taken over the internet. Basically the normalfags aren't going away, ever, unfortunately.
>6000 bucks a monthJesus christ I don't know anything but that is pretty expensive just to host things, even catbox only has a 1.5k donation goal every month
>""instead of just uploading roms to a normal fucking website that will never ever ever ever get taken down, ill just make a fedposting site that'll last 5 minutes on my own because i need full control and i need a discord server for it so i can groom!!!!""brilliantbrilliant now fuckoff and die literal /whoposter
I fucking hate this absolute niggerfaggot timeline so much, the internet used to be so cool man
>>733877321>The modern internet is fueled by clicks, likes, advertisements, marketing, subscriptions and engagement with "content". Then why aren't they being banned for being normalfags instead of fat smelly nerds? Why isn't Google banning their own employees from the internet for being normalfags?
>>733877327>Myrient is a fast and reliable video game preservation service with over 390 terabytes of organized collections publicly available for download. Thats a fuckton of storage.
>>733877198Stop being such a faggot anon, the reason no one gives you the info is because your a retard that can't be trusted to keep their mouth shut. If you aren't smart enough to find the info on your own then you shouldn't have it.
>>733877416what the fuck is taking up even a single tb on there, much less 390?
>>733877396A "normal fucking site" would fold to a random dmca and delete your shit in days lmao
>>733877423What IQ score do I need to somehow have the information manifest in my mind spontaneously? From where is your genius ass finding it?
>>733877478It hosts PS3 games.
>>733877406I'm not sure where you're confused about my post. I explained why normalfags have taken over the internet pretty concisely.
>>733877574don't lie anon, then it would be 0
>>733877246Normies are already exposed to goreposting on twitter, it won't scare anyone
>>733877574but anon...
>>733876290Still wouldn't have been a problem if the zoomer public didn't brazenly advertise the site on their Tiktoks.
>hurr durr the website got shut down the because of da normiesWhy do retards here keep saying this? If you actually read the post you will see that the site got taken down because its was too hard to keep it up and running and not because of some copyright takedown or something.Because of yall annoying retards I am going to spoonfeed people even harder now.>Vimms Lair>Archive.Org>MyAbandonware>Alvros Collection>Emuparadise>SteamRip>gog-games
>>733877478>even a single tbBro it's games. Like a lot of games. For example they have a teknoparrot (basically arcade) section https://myrient.erista.me/files/TeknoParrot/?C=S&O=D which includes multiple versions of street fighter 5 at 40 gigs each.
>>733877647Screencapped your post so you can be immortalized as the dumb frogposter who killed piracy once all of those websites die next month
>>733877543>Still thinking that anyone in the know will fall for fed postingI'm surprised that you haven't given up on shitposting since your so bad at it, keep bumping the thread though, I'm having fun reading it regardless.
>>733876001b-but vee told me pirates were just aware consumers who want to stick it to le big publishers, not stingy scrooges who don't wanna part with their cash...
>>733877647Can myabandonware even be shut down
is there anything on there actually worth snagging that isn't on a billion other sites?
I'm never recommending a website to anyone ever again.
Every public ROM site will eventually get shut down and all that's left will be private sites where you need to jump through multiple hoops to get into.
>>733875416Well bless the lad for at least giving a heads up and a cut-off date instead of just nuking it down right way. He's a real one.
>>733875416i really don't care when a new age site gets shut down when the old ones are still running>discord screencapi changed my mind, i do care, i'm glad they're gone
>>733877647archive org constantly get nuked. Fullsets are okay for older systems or even mame, but disk stuff can reach 1-2TB easy depending of rip.
>>733877647>Posting websites that are indexed by googleYou aren't accomplishing anything you dumb froggy faggot.
>>73387741690% of this is ps2/3 ROMS, rights?
>>733877684teknoparrot is elsewhere
>>733877809There are a lot of obscure console games and shit like Bonus DVDs and betas hosted there. It's not as easy to find 360 and PS3 games either, especially DLC files.
>>733877647Isn't emuparadise really fucked up now? I stopped going there for a reason like that a long time ago.
>>733877878You can't find anything not indexed by google retard
Magnet links solve this
>>733877805If anyone who holds the rights to any of the shit on the website actually gives enough of a shit then yes, easily.
>>733877892a ps2 fullset can fit on a single drive
>>733875416who cares, lmao
>>733876920>so that they can find it and get rid of it as quickly as possible!why are you still pretending this is a case of a big company shutting the site down?is reading too hard for you?
>>733877973Okay, keep seething then. I'll just go back to finishing my collection.
You guys have over a month to click a few links, wow so tragic
Recommenced me good hard drives to buy. I will be downloading all the major ps2 and gamecube games
>>733878140I don't have enough storage.
>kills piracy by making the hardware needed for file hosting completely unaffordable to pirates, even with donationsSay thank you.
>>733877647His first reason says it's because there's too much traffic now, frognigger. Zoomers found out about the site and have been spreading it all over social media, he can no longer afford to keep up with this increased traffic.
>>733877973da actual sikrit klubs are not indexed on search engines because those are not surface web stuff
>>733878151Buy what? Everything is already reserved by ai companies.
>>733878092>Site gets started>Site stays alive thanks to low costs and no drama of any kind>Site gets big>Site gets exponentially more expensive and starts attracting the wrong kind of attention>[(You) ARE HERE]>Site crashes and burnsEverySingleTime
Glad I took a week and went through to download every game I could ever want and backed it up on my NAS and external HDD in anticipation of thisData hoarding pays off, everything digital you cherish will be gone eventually, especially with the current government trying to take down everything and force you into monitored enslavement
>>733877959None of the PS3 games on there ever work, I have to scour the archive for those
>>733877809Many of the IBM-PC Redump ISOs are going to be hard to find after this site's gone
>>733875416So, how much does he need to continue hosting?Myrient has everything, so it would be a real shame if it shut down permanently.
>>733878237Bullshit. He has been bitching about storage costs for months now, the ai increase was the last straw.
>>733877980Until you want something that isn't being seeded.
I WISH AI NEVER EXISTED!!!
>>733878237More like LLMs don't give a shit about robots txt and scrap harder than ever. Sysadmins have to do all sorts of stuff to have a relatively normal traffic.
>>733878364$6000/month
>>733878237>people were using the site for its intended personoh no, the horror?so his idea for a game preservation site was one nobody downloads games from?what makes timmy less worthy of downloading gunhed.pce than you? why isn't he allowed to play? or do you think people were just downloading roms en masse for the lulz then deleting them?
brehs they killed all of my fucking manga last month, now they're going to take away my vidya too?it ain't fucking fair bluds...
>>733875416Dammit
>>733878574>its intended person*purpose
This era fucking sucks.>>733878348There is always another game, another movie, another album, another book you could get but didn't or forgot to.
>>733878380>Ignore the very first reason he gave, listen to me instead!No, I don't think I will, you fucking retard.
Is Wget or Jdownloader better for downoading entire directories?
Is this a good time to ask where I can track down a set of MAME roms?
>>733875416$6000Which shitty overpriced servers is he paying? just get a cheap Moldova one or set up torrents and a cheap seedbox.
>>733878482He should get some donation bar on top of his website. It should help. It's quite a lot of money, but if every tenth person visiting that website gives him a dollar it shouldn't be too hard to reach $6000.
>>733876121Retard
>>733878727https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/mame/index.htmlMagnet links to full MAME sets, updated monthly
>>733875795>euuugh muh gatekeepingTell that to the guy in chargeLiterally all he had to do was geoblock South America, and he probably wouldn't be crying on Discord right now
>>733878761He has had one there for ages, nobody used it kekno honour among pirates
>>733875416Fucking hell. Soon we will have zero piracy websites to use
>>733878661The intended purpose for preservation has never been to let leeches suck it dry, it's to make sure that media can be SPREAD between people more easily. That is why these sites always have a limited lifespan, they try to centralize something that is impossible to centralize.
>>733878761>He should get some donation bar on top of his website.He does>if every tenth person visiting that website gives him a dollarlol
Is this going to affect the hshop too?
hey broke incels here's a pro tip I'm sure you never used your two braincells to think about: GET A FUCKING JOB
>>733878727Not worth it, MAME romsets is a massive fucking autism sink>>733878782>updated monthlyBUT FUCKING WHYWhy is it so fucking hard to make a single set that just fucking works and works forfuckingever? I donwloaded like two different 20GB and 100GB sets before and it was a coinflip wether the roms even worked because MUH VERSION MISMATCH or MUH HECKIN LOICENCES M8
>>733878574If they actually played them. The social media phenomenon of posting title screens from your chinkhelds with 1000s of games doesn't help.
>>733878761He already has one.
>>733875416>>733875836Surely it was worth it to own le trannies, right, /v/? Fucking retards.
>>733878761>He should get some donation bar on top of his website. It should help.anon...also,>expecting pirates to pay for vidya
>>733875416>going to have to relearn how to use IRCbleh
>>733878694Never tried wget but did try jdownloader, just becareful where you download it from
>>733878912No
>>733878782I didn't expect such a speedy and helpful response. Thanks a lot.>>733878932>MAME romsets is a massive fucking autism sinkUh oh. Well, I don't want something like "Street Fighter 2 Rare Swedish Night Club Edition only released in Tokyo " or stuff like that. I guess I'll see what it's like after I read up on it.
>>733878991Cool thanks, it's working good so far. Getting the entire snes and n64 sets off Myrient atm, gonna buy some drives for PS1/PS2 etc
>>733876520Peak retard. Come show me links to dl Tales of Destiny translated with newest patch>Since January 1, 2026, this site no longer receives new downloadable updates. This entry is preserved for archival purposes.
>>733875795This.>>733875985It's mega corporations getting money printed into their pockets, not your average person buying a $4000 GPU
>>733876694Why is he doing that
>>733878348I started data hoarding a few years ago, but I have OCD so I often format my drives since they aren't "just right"Ironically every time I amass a bunch of files then get rid of them because of OCD, shit like this happensI miss Zippyshare so much bros...
>>733879073I wouldn't waste time with old cartridge-based systems, you can just download a No-Intro pack off of archive.org easily. They aren't even that big.
>>733875416Everything is shutting down. DDL anime just died with xdcc. People aren't really acknowledging the psychological effect AI has had on people who used to be obsessed with tech, the internet and media. It has devalued art to the point where not only creators but hyper consumers have begun to question their life choices, it has soured people's view of technology as a whole and particularly the act of sharing on the internet which has only been used and transformed into a cancerous weapon against the thing they loved. People moving away from genuine expression and altruism on the internet has only just begun. You truly don't hate these corporate rats enough.
>Not even Nintendo>It was fucking AIGrim
>>733875416Been using myrient for a while, i knew it would go down sooner or later as it got more popular.Love that it has CHD files and a list of files compatible with retro achievements.
>>733878891>>733878953>>733878976Well, there is no info about lack of funds, so there is lack of urgency. If this information about needing $6000 was on top of every page more people would be donatin. A progress bar would increase the possibility of donation even more.
>>733877416Well it'd probably help if they compressed shit better. A lot of stuff on there is the bare minimum.
>>733879154>anon downloading full drives then deleting them and downloading againuhhh...I think you might be a little responsible for this, dude...
>>733879138Then where are they posting the new shit?
>>733879167>you can just download a No-Intro pack off of archive.org easilythey keep getting removed and old incomplete sets are uploaded to replace them
>>733879171True. Here's my story. I was an up and coming drawfag when AI was released. The worst part is, I don't have any old art account pre-2020 to post things on. Old accounts are very very valuable now. Any new artist, you never know if they use AI or not. Fuck man. I wish I had an old art account so badly...
>>733875416Patreon-locked software is the literal worst thing on the internet and anyone who partakes in it needs to be shot
>>733875416>paywalled download managersfucking what
>>733877003Yes that's what Jews are planning for you and me. That's why they already filled and rewired your brain with their nano tech. By 2030 you will have ai inside your head if you want it of not. So enjoy your last few years as a human.
>>733879048>Street Fighter 2 Rare Swedish Night Club Edition only released in TokyoYou WILL download the 1.0 version of itYou WILL download the 1.1 version of itYou WILL download the 1.1 (RevB) version of itYou WILL download the (Unl) version of itYou WILL download the (Bootleg) version of itYou WILL download the (Bootleg) (World) (Alt1) (RevC) version of itAnd you're going to fucking like it faggot
>>733878976He means like a progress bar that shows the monthly donations, like $123 out of $6000 required or whatever, not just a message.
>>733875416WHAT DO I DOWNLOAD
>>733875416you don't hate aijeets enough
>>733876121>therefore zoom zoom shit for people who are too young to have said games.Literally only zoomers give a shit about physical games you retarded lying child
They really, really want us without any anonymity, fully censored and fully corralled into their stores and platforms. If they get their way the internet will be youtube, Amazon, twitch, bluesky, gmail and netflix only all requiring biometric digital ID.
>>733879212Anon, costs are rising thanks to AI.Shit is not viable.
>>733879386>(Bootleg) (Brazil) (Alt1) (RevC) version of it is the parent for some godforsaken reason and you need it if you just want to play the japanese originalI hate MAME
>>733879138You really do need an account iirc
>>733879432mario bros 1 mario bros 2 and
>>733879439Netflix is fucking pozzed, good thing I never paid for it.
Wow, that fukcing sucks. I was able to backup entire ISO and ROM from some of my favorite platforms sets to an external storage drive but plug it back to the computer and get the game I wanted to try every time was a fucking chore, so I just downloaded it from there.
If it gets bad i will start sharing torrents of my hoarded ROMs here on /v/, i live in the third world so nothing short of violence would be able to make me take it down, just drop a catbox link every now and then because im permanently banned from /t/
>>733879386>>733879480you are actually retarded
>>733879256Yep probably, I don't seed either because of OCD but then again I might just be a prick
you can likely find any romset you need on the DHT network and qbittorrent has a search engine built in. do the math.
>>733877321it does if we genocide the normalfags
>>733879439Speaking off, for those not aware, Youtube removed sort by latest upload date.
>>733879376>https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/1m6kbzq/roms_downloader_manager_for_myrienterista_server/?sort=new
Fuck, that was the most convenient site to download roms from.
>>733879343As someone with an old account I don't really care, I just stopped posting shit online, I'm sure epic will eventually shut artstation too. I'm sure people think I use AI anyway since any technical competence is now associated with it. I'm not that concerned about things from my perspective. I'm concerned about the total re-evaluation of art from a consumer perspective that is about to collapse every single media ecosystem. The only thing left will be a weird re-animated Pakistani corpse of the film, game and anime industry.
>>733879647>I don't seed either because of OCDwhat
>>733875416>address bar>"[game] [console] rom download">ENTER>click on the first resultthats how ive been getting my roms for the last 20+ years so i dont care
>>733878957Seeing chuds side with AI simply because Republicans do so is insane. Leopards eating faces moment.
>>733879656what the fuck is the DHT network?
The only ISO set I'm missing is PS2's, but I forget there is NPS for that.Sucks for illiterate broccoli heads.
>>733879735It all started with taking away forums. Then they removed annotations and video replies. Suddenly you can't get paginated comment sections, next the dislike bar went away. Instead of having metadata stick around when something is remove from a playlist, you get no information at all. Rounded edges on all site assets, broken home page, SHORTS SHORTS SHORTS and to top it all off they made youtube's logo magenta when it used to be bright fucking red. It's all crashing down...
>>733879798no one asked
>>733879847its trackerless torrents
>>733879619Spoonfeed us o great MAME master. What's a romset that just works without the need of merging, using romset databases, using a specific obscure version of MAME, literally just drag the rom into the exe and it runs without any extra configuration and that doesn't eat up like 1TB of storage when all I want to do is play is Gonbe I'm sorry, Neo Mr. Do and some obscure riichi mahjong games?
>>733875416This is absolutely fucked and apocalypse for anyone that wanted to play ps3/xb360 games with all updates and dlcs. I dunno where you can even download anything but base naked versions of those games
The fuck is myrient? Is it just a ROM site? What makes it different from the other 50 ROM sites?
>it's a midllennials make this about zoomers episode
>>733879941and how do you access it and know its trackerless?>>733879919what is NPS?

>>733879949>abloo bloo pee pee poo poojust kill yourself retard
>>733879432The Redump PC ISOs. Everything else can be found pretty easily elsewhere.
>>733879938since you asked, i also download roms from nyaa when i need a pc98/fm towns rom that i cant find anywhere else
>>733879971None of their uploads were compiled anyway, the fuck is the point of a ps3 upload I can't directly play?
>>733880001It was a decently gatekept all in one DDL website that Redditors ruined with bandwidth-exceeding scraping tools.
>>733876290>you need to tip pirates nowno thanks. I'm also not seeding any torrents.
>>733879768but why
>>733880107nyaa has roms on it?
oh no i hope they don't come after google search next....

>>733880186The third world was never meant to have access to the internet. If they generate pennies of profit it's worth destroying a community or service.
>>733876058Can't donate when you never knew about the siteAlso most people who would donate probably only do it once and probably don't even visit the site for a long whileIt was always going to shutdown
>>733879925Indian CEO, there is no depths to which it won't sink. The ultimate goal is to just transform into total cancer and remove the creators from the platform. If YouTube is just an auto generating AI slop machine they don't need to pay anyone any money.
I hope every AI faggot eats a gun.
>>733877647didnt emuparadise get shut down about 15 years ago or smth
>>733877246Most of the internet is brown now. Gore isn't going to scare latams and indians that see this shit outside every day.
>>733876694I look like this and do this when playing Mario Kart World on my Nintendo Switch 2.
>>733880114You convert it like real human
>>733880310It all started with a white woman.
>>733880001>Has complete rom collections for every system under the sun>No ads, Spyware, or malaria>No download limits (unless you're a bot)>No download wait timers>Fast download servers with no throttling>Has alternative file formats and game versionsIt's unironically the best site to get roms, but /v/ doesn't know about it because it's gatekept barley resdit (ironic). I literally built my entire nes - wii collection using it. I'll have to go back and pick up some filler games I missed now since I was building a curated rom list.
>>733879614>i live in the third world so nothing short of violence would be able to make me take it downyeah?try port mirroring packet sniffing and hash matching automatic blocks on backbone routers coming soon to internets everywhere
>>733880360Don't worry about it.
>>733880364We need human on cow violence with a lot of animal guts. Turn all holy cows into burgers.
>>733875416You don't hate Trump enough.
>>733880259thanks anon, I actually laughed at this
>>733875416Damn, there's been lot of spamming by redditards about different myrient download managers. I've only curated up to ps1, saturn, dreamcast and psp. Have to curate the huge libraries left and trim as hell since I don't have the space atm.
>>733880310>Indian CEO, there is no depths to which it won't sink. The ultimate goal is to just transform into total cancer and remove the creators from the platform. If YouTube is just an auto generating AI slop machine they don't need to pay anyone any money.jar hind! India superpower 2020!
>>733875416Every fucking time I get used to a new rom site, it dies
>>733880384And the final stage of enshittification is always an Indian
>>733875416Never heard of it and I'm old enough to have mounted shit on my daemon tools or whatever the fuck it was calledGuessing its some pirate shit that you zoomers clung to after the 2010's
>>733879836holy reddit momentgenuinely too stupid for words
>>733880374How?
>>733880198yeah, mostly romsets, but you can download only the single rom you need since the romsets are normally comprised of folders for each rom instead of a single .zip file that requires you to download the whole thing. i think doing that fucks with people trying to download the entire romset though so its best to avoid doing it if you mind
>>733880384She was jewish
>already backed up the romsets of my favorite games around the time Emuparadise went down the shitterMaybe you niggers should have done the same too, but I can tell by the reactions ITT is that you are shitskins living in third world shitholes
>>733875416Seems like a ruse to increase donations
>>733875943It's back, though
Well I got most of the stuff for PS2 and Gamecube I wanted.Still sucks though. Everybody needs to back up everything they care about.Probably time to get a NAS running with redundancies too, AI HDD inflation be damned.
>>733880569Reddit loves AI tho.

>>733876750I dont expect fucktards like you to find anything. Thats the point.
Fucking kneel
I don't want to buy another external because of how inflated prices are but I'm worried that prices are going to be even more inflated for at least several years
>>733880618If you're talking about Youtube CEO that was Jewish, she died months ago, if that helps you feel better.
There's a chance this doesn't actually happen btw. Off the top of my head I can name five (5) game download sites that called it quits but then just stayed up anyways. And the one time it was the owner having a melty, he reversed his decision in a week after donations rolled in. Ultimately it's a gambit, if they see line go up after threatening to pull the plug you might not have to worry.
I miss Underground Gamer...
>>733875416I've always had more trouble finding the right bios and keys for the emulators than the actual games and roms.
>>733878957Imagine being so insufferable you make people want to do this though
What a coincidence, I too am shutting down my website at the end of March.>ai scrapers are basically DDoSing the damned thing 24/7>community has transformed from chill teenagers and wise adults to schizophrenics and aggressive political warriorsThe public internet in general is just sort of dead, at least we (at least most of us) got to experience it while it was still alive.
>>733880748I can't play while kneeling, dingus
shocking turn of events, apparently every single person that downloads old roms are stinky pajeets who think serverspace grows on trees
>>733879212I gotta agree with this, I sometimes look at those "Please donate" messages and thinking like "well how much do they need?"Maybe it's my autistic way of thinking but I'm sure that at the very least it would've brought in at least a few hundred bucks if it said "Hey, we need this certain amount for this month!"
>>733875416HOLY SHIT. Nooooooo. I love the RetroAchievements section, where I can download the exact ROM I need within seconds. The owner should create torrents for these consoles so the entire game collection, which is under 1 TB, can be shared.
>>733880983what's the site? i'd love to see it before it burns down, just to know what i missed out on
>>733880983Is there really nothing that can be done about AI agents raping websites?
>>733880983>aggressive political warriorsSimply remove the woke from media and the fighting will stop.
>>733881141
>>733881141If he wasn't a retarded vibecoder he could lock out any IP that does more than X requests per Y seconds/minutes.
How much storage do I need to download all us ps2 games and jp exclusives? Fuck, why are hdds so goddamn expensive.
>>733876076>>733876397wait why are we back to having to use retrogametalk again
Some spoonfeeding for zoomeiesr-roms.github.io (r/ROMS megathread, regularly updated for latest rom sites)vimm.netedgeemu.netmdk.cabcdromance.comretrogametalk.com/repository (just make a free account and you can view the roms)archive.org
>>733881141not reallycloudflare sells what they call a cure for a hefty price but it does fuckall and they have specific agreements with shit like openAI to let certain scraping agents through
>>733880983>at least we (at least most of us) got to experience it while it was still alive.That's the worst part, we have to deal with this shitty corporate future knowing how much better it used to be
>>733881043Actual issue is scrappers ddosing servers constantly.Even rangebanning whole continents don't work.
>>733881221You will need like 2tb minimum and even then it may require curation
It's ok, we don't need to arquive anything. In the future, we can just ask AI to generate all those roms againTrust the plan fellow jeets
>>733881221
An adderall user already solved the data sharing problem (pic related), but /v/exicans that proclaim "we finna needs gatekeeping ese" are too retarded to use it.
>>733881279>edgeemureddit recommends against this one
i dont even know what that is
>>733881308According to sources the entire Myrient collection is about 390TB. I don't think even the richest of autists could afford this much storage space, let alone in the current day
>>733881370A lot of it is redundant
>>733875416I have never heard of or used this place for piracy and I have never had trouble finding any game I want online. You guys are such sissy drama queens.
>>733881420Reddit are a bunch of retarded niggers, never had an issue with a single rom and you can check the hash of all of them
>>733881440one TB is around $50, that's nothing
>>733881141deploy HER
>>733881440It also has a shit ton of redundancies
>>733875836Reminder that being anti-AI and not pro-localAI means you're only encouraging this cancer to spread. Anti-AI whining on the internet does nothing to OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/whatever but demanding better local models and thus more demand for consumer hardware will.

I will miss myrient's chd files though, fugg using chdman
>>733878761uhhe didand they didnt
>>733881141Deploy HIM
>>733881440Just get NTSC releases + few PAL ones, remove any sort of beta, hack or rerelease.Still going need around 1-2TB for GC or PS2 set.
>First this catbox and now thisDamn ai and 3rd world countries are fucking everything up
hey retard, internet archive has literally every fucking rom and ISO in the history of gamingshut the fuck up
>>733881279I already know most of these sites exist. The problem is Myrient had an easy-access section for RetroAchievements, so I didn't have to piss about and look at the website's list of "goody-two-shoes roms that you totally got yourself trust us we don't condone piracy" every time I wanted to enable them, then scour the web for that exact rom.Call me a lazy fag, but I enjoy ease-of-access when it's available. Cuts the time it takes by a lot so I can get to what I wanted to do.
>>733881695wait what happened to catbox?
>>733881702I prefer to play the games I download the same day I start the download.
>>733881370lol you need maybe 3TB for the English games, and probably only 1TB if you delete all the shovelware shit
>>733881515What a kemonomimi can do about ai agents?
>>733875416>pirateniggers dont want to donate moneyshocker>thirdie brownies want to piggyback off others hosting shit for free to make ad and spyware survey shitThis is why I support things like Denuvo. All pirates and brown, and they deserve nothing. Yes, they deserve to be BTFO even more than greedy corporations.
>>733881746take you ADHD meds fucking zoomer goblinfaggot
>>733881736Sharty keeps attacking them, uploading cp, and reporting it because catbox has anime images on the home page.

>>733875416Just use soulseek
>>733881746The fuck? Are you downloading like 500 games at once? Internet Archive has never fucking taken that long for me and I have shitternet. Take your meds you ADHD fuck.
lol suck to be a retard i guess, im still using GGn like a normal person
>>733880794cope but I hope you're righteverybody download anything you like while you still can
What the fuck fucking happened to this board? Hell every other place on 4chan doesn't give a shit about privacy but /v/ is so adamantly against it even coming up with mental gymnastics like hurr durr if you pirate, you're brown!What the fuck?Did this place get completely overtaken by fucking corposhills or bootlicker apologists?Fucking hell /v/. The fuck is your problem with piracy that you have to be so against it and even celebrate tragedies like this?
>>733881580Local AI sloppers are like trannies though. They are really annoying and obnoxious so tying your goals to them is only going to end up with the reverse. There's also nothing you can do when the only suppliers of GPUs don't give a shit what you say.
>>733880748that site has less than 10% of what Myrient has
wouldnt pay them out of principle cause making money with other peoples work is despicable
>>733875416Just use the internet archive LOL
>>733881937Blame tendies
You know most Snownigger and Chink websites routinely ignore the impotent bleatings of the West and just keep hosting pirated shit? Like I got a new computer and downloaded both Yuzu and a bunch of roms for it.
>>733881580>things would be better if AItards were buying out all the hardware like during the cryptoboomNah, fuck off
>>733881794>This is why I support things like Denuvo. All pirates and brown, and they deserve nothing. Yes, they deserve to be BTFO even more than greedy corporations.While in reality it's will fuck you the most as they will just share access for cheap or zero usd and bypass denuvo like it didn't even exist
>>733881937/v/ is full of cultists faggots like tendies and steamies and they hate piracy because it confuses them
>>733881937It was overrun with /pol/ fags. That's what happened. I'm surprised Epstein being linked to that board didn't drive everyone out.
>>733879529and when this gets closed too you'll be like>how could this happen
>>733881898soulseek works for roms?
>>733875416>it's realAnd there goes the only website that let me download shit at 100MB/s, no bullshit.Fuck. What will we use now?
>AI destroying pc parts market>New Xbox CEO thinking of returning back to exclusives>Sony stopping pc ports>Now thisSomeone is behind this. This is all too convenient.
>>733875836Guns don't kill people, people using guns do. AI doesn't kill the computer hardware industry for consumers, Microsoft and all the major out of touch tech companies oriented only to short term profits and not the consumer experience do. I run AI locally when I want and not when I don't want. If AI was only used by people who want to use it we'd already be able to dhave half the data centers down
I hope the sudden surge of last minute downloads doesn't tank the speeds
I don't understand why this useless piece of shit hosting the place doesn't just get a job.
damn, sucks. This was my go-to
>>733881937this board is overrun with actual zoomers and gen alpha, of which only a small portion pirates games cause they got brainwashed into accepting the idea of not owning anything and of having to rebuy stuff each time a new console comes out
>he doesnt already have every rom and ISO up to the PS2 erahello newfaggots
>>733882048>@grok write me a 4chan post defending the use of AI
>>733882045Sony is stopping PC ports because they have no more games to port
>>733882041wait, websites can set what speed you download shit at?why am I paying for high internet speeds then?
>>733881937poorfags got priced out
>>733876023csrin has console games? i only use it for PC game cracks.
>>733881994>he thinks cryptobros are going to be buying GPUs in bulk to gen 1girl titties or ERP in privateRetard. Demanding for more local models also means better optimization, meaning you don't need to run an entire datacenter to talk to your waifu.
>>733875416FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>733881937>piratevegans spam everywhere they can bragging about how they pirate shit>developers cater to people who actually pay for games instead>constant streams of REEEEE WHY WOKE WHY CASUAL WHY YOU NO CATER TO MEEEEEEE from the same piratevegans>piratevegan host begs for money, wants you to pay money to pirate, and shuts down when it doesn't workMaybe if you fags weren't so retarded and didn't spew bullshit everywhere, there wouldn't be problems. How many pirate sites have died because you couldn't help but spamvertise them everywhere?
>>733881937>why isn't everyone exactly the same as me?Go back to your hugbox
>>733882120All organic, my own words. Well I'm sorry, my ideas are of course derrivstive and influenced by the education and culture I've absorbed and adopted to this day, much like how an AI functions. Stay mad, nigger
Is there anything that myrient has that you can't find or is a pain to find elsewhere?I think 3ds digital titles are a pain to find, but what else
>>733881212how would that help at all? that retard accomplished literally nothing.
>>733882213>piratevegansStopped readingFuck you
>>733882045>New Xbox CEO thinking of returning back to exclusives>Sony stopping pc portsThe world is finally healing. But the Myrient thing sucks.
>>733882085Oooh you didn't just say that!
what would be the best way to download the entire site?
>>733882213I'm not going to stop crying just because it makes your ass hurt. Get a second job and pay for the site so I can continue to use it, bitch.
>>733875416FinallyThat's Concord 8
>>733882041Torrents, duh.
>>733882147There's a lot of sites that do this. Especially all those faggot-ass filehosting sites like RapidGator. Never trust a fag that sends you to RapidGator. They're just trying to wring you out of referral dollars.
>>733882115show me your 8+ terabytes of roms, or shut the fuck up
>two months ago, talk about this site in a thread without naming it for obvious reasons>retard goes "HURR DURR IT'S MYRIENT OPEN UP LITTLE ZOOMIES HERE COMES THE AIRPLANE I HATE GATEKEEPING"knowing that that faggot is going to rope now is a small comfort You were told and you didn't listen, again, for like the 7th time in a year
>>733878482He's just getting ripped off then. Catbox runs on under 2k a month and does >1PB of traffic per month. He's probably hosting on some cloud provider and getting fleeced.Given that they're announcing news about their piracy website through a discord server they don't seem like the sharpest light bulbs in the box anyway.
>>733882005Right, because after Empress left you brownoids got to play any Denuvo games right?
I wanna go back to post dial up but pre smartphone world and stay there forever
>>733881937it's the current state of the average consoomer. there's a lot of people post-covid who have no personality or sovl left. the menticide of their self worth has gone off the rails (see tendies). if they see another person experience the same thing as them for less dollars or free it drives them to anti-social madness.
>>733881937nintendo pays indians to shit this board up and spread anti-piracy/emulation FUD
>>733882243it's appropriate though. Dipshits cannot shut the fuck up about piratingBack in my day, pirates just did it and didn't write up essays on 4chan about it
>>733882353Catbox only hosts for very short periods of time.
>>733882340Read the actual announcement again, dumbfuck. It's down because of AI pricegouging and servercosts. No one ratted shit out to anybody. Take your meds.
>>733882240>3DSHshop
>>733875416>site is free, has no ads, and everything is sorted properly>reddit STILL makes download managers that skip everything and makes it beyond baby mode to download so other retards rape the site's bandwidth and don't donate anythingSucks losing a great site, but this is what those people deserve.
>>733882365early smartphone era was ok
>>733882420Guess who owns hshop

>>733875416Farewell, Myrient. I think I went on your website for a total of 1 time.
>>733882416hey RETARDwhy do you think traffic went up so much RETARD?huh, RETARDfucking RETARD
>>733882147Yes, which is why I don't understand the Vimm's Lair dickriders. I can download like 15 PS3 exclusives on Myrient in the same time it takes me to download just one on Vimm's. So much for that. Guess I gotta get into torrents now.
>>733882462I mean maybe don't put anime on your site banner then...
>>733882420>hShopAnd precisely who hosts hShop again? Ah yes, Myrient.
>>733882404Catbox hosts permanently. You're thinking of litterbox which is the temporary version.In one blog post the admin said he had over 130TB of content at that time. Not sure how much Myrient hosts, but old games are pretty small at least.
>>733882236r/defendingaiart tier cringe
Okay anon, maybe this is the time for us to get back to that Final Boss of the Internet moniker. In the old days, there would have been one or more existing anons who would scrape either all the content or at least all of a certain facet (ie a given system or set of systems) and then set up another way to host it and make it available. Also if nothing else, if you don't want to host it you toss it all up on BitTorrent. There are ways to make use of this for the good of us all, unless we've been afflicted by parasitism by tourists, zoomers, and tourist zoomers who won't raise a finger to do anything meaningful. >>733875836This is not an AI problem. This is corporate faggotry hosting platforms charging more because they can blame it on AI, problem.
>>733881176It is astounding to me that people still don't understand this. They never should have invaded, but they were going to no matter what at some point. ((They)) need the money.Anyway, I don't know why people keep harping on about CDRomance. A lot of their rips are of poor quality, so you're really taking a gamble on shit working or not.
>>733877246This is why we keep the lolicons around, it scares the normalfags away.
>>733881440Idk anon. I'm not rich by any standards and I'm sitting on 100TB.
>>733882558But not the browns
>>733882492>one thread on /v/ contributed to 100% of website growth
>actual bad news
>>733882550Torrents would be the ideal solutionORIRCIRC Warez channels were the solution to this, because you can't scrape or use AI to spam something if you need to have a presence in a room and talk to people in order to download. CTCP chads unite

>>733881937Goycattles are mindless consoomer
>>733875836>implying thats the main reasonYou faggot, it was vibecoded jeets trying to parasitize something meant for the public.>Paywalled download managers In the past several months, many specialized download managers were created that completely bypassed the site, donation messages, and download protections. Some of these download managers locked certain features behind a paywall that required users to pay in order to gain access. The use of Myrient for commercial, for-profit purposes has always been strictly forbidden. Such egregious and abusive usage of the site cannot be tolerated anymore.*You don't hate pirating browns enough. If you cater to thieves that are only interested in getting things for free, you're a fool to believe they would donate, much less observe rules of respect, like not monetizing it on their dime.
>>733881937crabs in a bucket, people that spend $70 on games seethe at people getting them for free.

>>733882340these retards are legitimately too stupid to grasp that they are the problem.
>>733882626>IRCThe problem here is just like back then. You'd have tons of people registering bots to make one request from a listserv who had no reason to be there otherwise. IRC was great and all of its benefits (minus some detriments) exist now with Matrix which is even better, but the same way you didn't want fags having to register on a fucking Discord server and sit in the channel in order to download a mod or even get help once and then fuckoff forever, you don't want that for this either. IRC listserv and warez bots were great for people who were already frequently on IRC as we were back in the day, but not for people to just show up , download, and leave. BitTorrent is a much better option, but it wouldn't hurt to have some other sort of archive too.
>>733882045>New Xbox CEO thinking of returning back to exclusives>The AI generated CEOLol, that's very cute of you for believing in that
Can some fucking retard here pay the site's bill with their crypto? You're gonna sit on it forever anyway so you might as well do some good with it.
>>733882795No console games before 2006 have ever had Chinese languages. There is no reason for them to host it. They aren't running a charity for the west.
We still have vimm's and archive.I don't know how to get started with torrents.

>>733882728You can expect any improvement only after the AI bubble pops, and since that will completely rape the entire world's economy because everyone's a retard who invested too much on AI, you can also only expect things to improve (slightly) after that as well.

There are known good hashes for ROMs so if you download a ROM and it matches the hash, then it must be an unaltered copy and not some sort of malware or degraded version. The reputation of the source doesn't matter because you can just check yourself if it's genuine or not.

>>733882646In the old days, we spent 30 fucking years making monetizing shit anathema to piracy. There was a whole community that literally did exist on honor among thieves/rogues; the Scene operated entirely on that principle and anyone who tried to charge to crack shit was basically pushed out face first in disgrace. There were always those crackers for money but they were separate from those who did it for the challenge, against corporate bullshit, or other ideologies and were never overlapping. The fact that in the space of a decade everyone has turned their shit into mega monetized secret download managers or exclusive discord bots (I remember when all the sneaker drop bots were weaponized for PC hardware since 2020 on and people were paying hundreds per month to subscribe to something to buy a 3090 before anyone else so you could flip it for cash. Fuck it) and worse. Its fucking sickening for someone old enough tto have helped crack Starforce back in the day.

>>733883651>>733883634i did some basic googling on where to find torrents for roms. Internet Archive and PleasureDome were the only results.you shitposters can't hide it from me forever.
>>733883443>>733881397>>733883194IPFS is conceptually great , but in practice it works better for a small amount of static content - like a list of links to files on BitTorrent or whatnot. IPFS is one of those things that doesn't require cryptofaggotry in and of itself directly, but ends up requiring cryptofaggotry if you intend to store shit someplace that's not in your fucking house. Its kinda like how cryptofag messengers like Session don't "technically" require using some crypto asset, but if you want to buy a username instead of a huge fuck you address, or get a namespace on the network or anything else, well you have to use their crypto for it. Same thing for LBRY/Odysee - its all basically there to prop up crypto contract profiteering. Not all factors of IPFS require you to pay via crypto, but you start wanting to store a fuckload on the network someone has to start paying for that storage and usually its filecoin or other shit which is basically a scam in its own right. I really wish these things could work out without cryptogrifting shit in the middle of it because not all of it is bad in concept.

Why is downloading from Myrient so fast but archive.org so slow
>>733883986They want you to stop using Moonlight and Steam Link. Want to stream your games? BUY THE PASS

>>733884020because you touch yourself at night.
>>733883906Porn to /a/ is more important than a romsite to /v/. The panda has so much porn, nothing else compares.
>>733883906Do you think the place that likes to brag about playing everything for free will save something with their money? Lol
>>733884020archive.org can be fast, but you have to use a downloader with multiple connections
>>733884086>implying /v/browns have moneyo i am laffin
>>733875836*kills the Internet and ruins every online space forever*Pssh... nothin personnel... saars...
How come richfags spent 10k day on nightclubs but not a single one can pay of the pocket to save a site like this? I am sure at least some of them use it
I find it hard to believe that he makes enough to pour 72k into a website every year.
>>733881176>Simply remove the woke from media and the fighting will stop.Ok let's just remove like the last forty or so years of media
>>733875416They priced you out of owning anything.You should've saved this stuff sooner.
>>733883515IPFS is a lot like torrenting where multiple people can seed the same file, however it has a different approach where it creates a "global/world filesystem", so every file is a hash you can search for, this basically solves torrent trackers if you ever thought trackers dying was always a problem.Torrents are still the best but I would call it "cold" file sharing because if you wanted to have a file index that was constantly updating like Myrient, that protocol would fall short.With IPFS you could basically have a ROM file index like Myrient, but because it's inspired by torrenting, each file in the index could be hosted by multiple people, so with this fact alone it would be more robust than a single guy paying $6000 until he inevitably gets priced out.And you need to use it with a commandline so if you can't figure it out you're a nigger.
>>733884213I don't find it hard to believe that you're this retarded and can't read
>>733884168Will saars AI generate our games back?
>>733884082Sadpanda gets scraped hard by several other sites, pretty much every gallery on it is on some other site.
>>733884014There has to be a program like Pandora that connects you to some kind of mIRC server for roms.>What's Pandorapic related. it feels like i'm accessing the Matrix every time i connect.

>>733884230your pic is an example of what they can't take away: the pastif the way forward is enshittification then I'll turn around
>>733884220Excellent idea, proceed at once.
>>733884292Too bad they only scrape the low quality version so it's not even worth it..
>>733884230Holy based!
>>733883981https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_SystemIts better to make use of it without the cryptoshit if you can. Its technically just using a DHT much like trackerless torrents, but the problem is that it basically is overlapping with "dApps" made by cryptoshit and how Filecoin was built by the for profit wing of the same people who created the protocol. Its not a surprise that buying hosting for a fuckload of space costs a lot of money, but whenever you get crypto stuff involved (and even some specifics of Filecoin itself I object to - like how the 'supernodes" require you to have 1000 Coins, which is basically massively expensive if it ever gets above $1 which it absolutely is. Worse, they can't be subdivided beyond 4 ways so it favors the extremely early or extremely wealthy, while claiming to 'democratize' finance/the Internet etc... one of the clear lies of MOST crypto. Anyway, IPFS itself is okay but people have to find ways to use it without letting the cryptogrifters have their pound of flesh.
>>733884292It's centralized in the same way that Steam is. Everything on one single site is incredibly convenient and it has nice features(if you fork over the Hath).
>>733884302not him but now what?
>>733884181Because richfags think they're above preserving history. The old aristocracy at least put their money into preserving historical sites and art. Modern richfags only care about hedonism and circlejerking their money around to other richfags.
>>733884020Because everything on IA is being stored on tape drives, they hold petabytes of data with none of the budget that other corpos like microslop or google have
>>733884310Ok enjoy only Hannah Barbera cartoons reruns for ages to come
>6000 people pay $1>1 richfag whale pays $6000You're telling me neither of this is feasible?
>ROM site #9069 gets shut downwoah...

>>733884302>(D:)>>733884452>No (D:)
>>733875416I genuinely don't get why they need an expensive site to host everything when torrents exist, I have a friend who's been seeding every snes rom for over a decade at this point.Did people forget how to torrent or is it so bad because gen z never learned how to?
>>733884540Hell yea
>>733883071You're free to try your theory ASAP
>>733884543Its not a 1 off thing. His point is that costs are going up all the time and its a monthly thing. So there could be a point where its like 10k a month or more. But yes if a bunch of pc fat incels just donated money every month it would be ok but thats not happening.
>>733884543Even /v/ could do it. However is there any proof that this is happening? Its not up on the Myrient main page yet, this is a screenshot of a Discord message after all, and even at that is set at a month down the line.

>>73388467641
>>733884651there isn't any reliable site that has game torrents that is as well known as Myrient or Vimm's or Archive.
It's sad when this sort of stuff happens, but there's seriously a bunch of alternatives, I don't think I've ever used this particular site before.
>>733884793What do cops beating their wives have to do with this?
>>733884858name someasking for a friend
sweet, new tripfag to filter
>>733883845>>733884408It just works and it would be inherently more robust than Myrient.For something like this multiple people would chip in and share compute and bandwidth to host it, for free, because they believe in preservation right?Now for your whining about crypto, nothing is free, "Money can be exchanged for goods and services." and no one chipped in to pay the Myrient bill, so it's over.CryptoGODS are the only people solving the monetization problem and if that makes you mad, what is your alternative? Using VISA/Mastercard to buy ROMs from Nintendo, lol fagot.
>>733884858The real sad part though is that those lists of alternatives are thinning instead of growingRemember when they used to say kill one and 5 take it's place? Now it's like the opposite into the negatives.
>>733884937>CryptoGODSa glorified ponzi scheme? thats whats making you act like an ivory tower faggot?
>>733875416Is anyone putting up the archive as a torrent?
>>733884937>CryptoGODSShouldn't you be at your night shift at Mickey Ds?
i think its a shame the site is getting killed since it also had a repository for every 2hu game
>>733884927>newlol. also...https://fmhy.net/gaming#rom-sitesthis has a list of all rom sites. there's only a few for torrents.
>>733885232Way to go moron. Loose lips sinks ships.
>>733884452be honest: how much BBW porn?
>>733884937>For something like this multiple people would chip in and share compute and bandwidth to host it, for free, because they believe in preservation right?You mean like BitTorrent? Or how Myrient's owners did even with centralized hosting costs? >Now for your whining about crypto, nothing is free, "Money can be exchanged for goods and services." and no one chipped in to pay the Myrient bill, so it's over.CryptoGODS are the only people solving the monetization problem and if that makes you mad, what is your alternative? Using VISA/Mastercard to buy ROMs from Nintendo, lol fagot.Oh I see, you got your jimmies all rustled when anyone didn't want to pump your scamcoin TO THE MOON, right? Its obvious that plenty of others (including lots of crackers, modders and others who did shit without requiring a patreon subscription back in the day etc) who have been willing to contribute but somehow you want to make sure the only/easiest way to do so is using a platform that depends on your griftcoin bullshit. Its much like how Odysee/LBRY can take a giant shit when PeerTube does the same thing without being slaved to cryptotard functionality. Eat ten thousand dicks and pay for them with your shitcoins if you want, but you can't seem to do that because you've got some sort of tiny-hat tendril going to your brain always looking for how you can wedge in a way to profit.

>>733883041You're only calling out half the problem. The other half are the ones that don't donate.

>>733885494Just put the fries in the bag
>>733885582Anon it's just a list of links...
>>733885439The ones that don't donate are a problem too, but that is an issue that needs to get around the main problem. First, you need to make sure you have something that is good enough people come back to repeatedly - Myrient has obviously done that. It needs to be something with a lot of content and easily accessible, stable, high quality and different than many others Next, you need to make it easy and cheap to donate. They have a little box and that does work if people click on the donation bits as well as crypto options. Making it easy and fast to set up a one time donation is critical to getting people to do so. Lastly, you need to make your case to people who ccan't afford / dont want to donate most places, they should to yours. If the Myrient operators started the campaign over a year in advance telling people that if they don't see some changes they may have to shut down etc. and being honest about finances et.c. many would be interested and think about donating. However if you don't make people aware until its basically almost / too late... that is a lot harder. You can accept donations for ages but that's not the same thing as getting people to know how much you depend upon them and that you're running up against the wall and may need to close down without them . Of course it goes without saying this needs to be honest- if people even get a whiff of you talking about how you're crying poor on your dono page but flashing a fancy watch on discord or some shit saying "thanks guys buy me a boat next" you're cutting your own throat. Not saying the Myrient devs did this but just in general, people need to believe you're being forthcoming about the costs of running the site. AND feel good about donating. There are some non-harmful ways to gamify this even that don;'t lead to premium account bullshit but in any case, it should be possible if done right

I remember the first big strike against sad panda and everyone panicking, kek. I'm not saying don't back up the stuff you want, but I could spend all day every day downloading everything that's ever interested me and never get it all. What I've got is what I've got, I feel like if they really do somehow strike down the very ability to download anything we're going to have much bigger problems than just no more free porn and games.
>>733876251Futaba sexo
>>733883041It's a general debasement of society. If you're talking about timelines of 30 years, then I assume "the old days" stretches back at least to the 90s. Back then, talented young men who made up those groups could see a future for themselves in some skilled career. Crackers did it for fun because they could afford to do that.For the last 15 years the lower class has been getting poorer and poorer, and while there may be honor among rogues, there is no honor among the desperate. So everyone is a hustler, everyone has a side gig and a patreon, everyone charges for everything no matter how shameless. Nobody has shame anymore so nobody can be "disgraced" anymore. If you have shame you're just a cuck giving up the bag to somebody else. That's how it is.Also, the internet opened up to more of the world in that time. So it's not just first-world poorfags living worse lives than their parents, it's truly desperate third-world poorfags as well.
>>733885994>The Narcos just burned down your local McDonald'sDoesn't matter, you still need to go to work there faggot

Catbox, ATF and myrient. It's so fucking over I hate AI so fucking muchI didnt realize it was this urgent. I am too poor to donate I kept waiting until I was "rich enough" to do so. It's over
self proclaimed "game preservationists" when they have to actually contribute to games continuing to be made available online rather than crying about nintendo for umpteenth time:
>>733882236>derrivstiveSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>733886049Sure, but the fact is that data erasure is still data erasure. The Library at Alexandria has been a reference for 2000 years because of what that kind of loss of data means to people, all the world over. I also could never have everything, and if I don't, I won't have everything I could ever conceivably want, but I can make do with what I already have. Doesn't change the fact that knowledge, history, work, is all being lost and monetized for the powers that be if at all. A reminder that Sadpanda coming back at all was a miracle, and just a few years before that, nyaa was nuked and saved only because one single /g/ autist had archived the entire site for personal reasons a few months before the hammer. Literally, pure happenstance both times that saved those sites. Neither nyaa nor myrient hold the source files of their data, but they're the biggest, fastest repositories for it and once things fragment they only get worse. I used to believe in Hydra theory, but the death of rarBG leading to no real successor has convinced me otherwise. Modern netizens are too passive, too willing to wait for someone else to do things. And that the myrient thing purports to be driven by costs and not copyright is nightmare scenario stuff.

>>733877018>fixMore like alleviate. Torrents don't work on magic, it's you downloading stuff from somebody else's PC.Works great for stuff a lot of people are interested in. Works less great for other things.
>>733886115Part of this is true, but its worth remembering that a lot of the crackers back then did it and often had a tech job; this was also a relatively small community. Even when we talk about the third world poorfags, the stereotype of Russians / former Soviet countries being HaX0rs came from this time when many of them - some who did other unsavory shit (including cybercrime) kept that separate from hacking games. It was something that improved their skills they could do elsewhere no matter where. I agree that things are shittier, but its also worth mentioning that in the past the amount of people who were actually in "the scene" was pretty damn small. There was a large abstraction between Scene groups and people who would share things via P2P (back when that meant listserv, DCC, usenet, and later bittorrent) vs those that may end up playing a cracked game. However, you were liable to get your shit pushed in if you say..tried to mod and add adware to a scene release or even just start up a pay-to-pirate site because everyone knew they were walking a fine line. Keep in mind some of these people came from countries where you had bootleg VCDs sold on the street and counterfeit blue jeans next on the blanket. The third world poorfags made money in other ways because piracy related stuff was more or less purified by a bunch of hackers with the old ethos in mind, for one difference. It was definitely a different time but it persisted pretty much until the mid 2010s before things started to go to shit in how we're describing here. There's a lot more to it, but it wasn't just about people needing money. Hell, in the old days the mere fact Denuvo's creators gloated would have been enough reasons for the entire scene to drop from the sky and ruin the thing just on principle...but what happened a few years ago? Few people crack it because its tedious and hard except for a screaming tranny cultist who charged people $500 to pick a game?Shit.
Why is this news? Just host a few torrents on piratesbay or something
>>733877805Abandonware is not a real thing.
>>733886692Nobody actually likes torrenting.
>>733886327you wouldn't download a car.gif
>>733886692>he doesnt know if he torrents games or movies he gets an ISP letter
>>733886513True, but there's a difference between >Hey guys, if you want to upgrade to higher tiers of hardware you're not colocating yourself, its gonna cost more. The hardware costs necessitate it but we'll figure out the best we can do etc. and >Hey guys AI you know, everything is now really expensive so we're jacking prices to the moon because AI could make it so we can't afford it in the future. SOWWY BUT PAY ME NOW are two different things. Its one thing if the Myrient owners were moving up to other tiers and needing new hardware, its another if they were staying the same and their costs just started skyrocketing because the hoster decided they have a perfect excuse to squeeze their clients.
>>733875416>there are people who pay to use download managerswhat the fuck
>>733877647Oh wow, guess normalfags don't cause traffic, so they have nothing to do with the host not being able to afford the traffic anymore. Thanks retard. >I am going to spoonfeed people even harder now.Don't act like you're actually intentionally doing anything. Normalfilth like you destroys nice things purely based on instinct. There are no thoughts going on as you ruin everything you come into contact with.
