Only 10 minutes left until Myrient bites the dust.

If you haven't gotten your ROMs by now, it's probably too late.

S or F?

Nothing of value is lost.

Full ROM sets have been on torrent sites for decades.

ddl is better than torrents though. your ISP can track torrents

Good riddance, if they had removed the bloat from their sets and rate limit their downloads or block thirdies from accessing the site to avoid getting their bandwidth raped, they might had survive for a bit longer.

Unironically what happens now? Myrient wasn't up for that long in the scheme of things but it was by far the best site I have used for getting my favorite games.

I know people claimed they were able to download everything there and I imagine a lot of people are going to try and make another site like it, but is that enough to say that we will get another site like this?
>>
>>736123132
>we will get another site like this?
it might come back one day, when the hardware prices stabilize.
>>
just use internet archives
>>
>>736123132
I'm sorry anon. Piracy is over. If you didn't download the games before this you'll never emulate anything now

>I managed to back up everything up to 6th gen consoles and handhelds + 3DS.

The reall hell starts now since I have to debloat and remove games I don't like or regions that I don't use.

But yeah, F. Should have done what >>736123106 said.
>>
>>736121935
I grabbed about 3 TB of stuff from them this month so I'll be set until the next thing takes its place.
The thing I liked about it is that it's just presented as a no frills file structure so everything is all on the same page and takes 1 click to download (and is easy to wget) which already makes it 10 times better than any other direct download site. Hopefully the clones follow their example.
>>
>>736123257
Its getting hit with DMCAs constantly. Recently they purged a lot of shit including entire repo of MagiPacks(really good repacks of older games from 2002-2014 with fixes and such) for example.
>>
>>736123272
>Piracy is over
I don't believe this. There are hundreds of data hoarders who have hundreds of terabytes of games at their fingertips. It's just a matter of being able to host a website to put them in

What will be hard is finding somewhere safe to get them from. The post-AI world is a scary place

This. Or told the public costs sky rocketed and if you don't donate we're closing shop before it's already too late. Instead they did nothing and failed
>>
>>736123801
I have a 16tb hdd and my whole collection is like ~10-12 tb.

I have yet to debloat and recompress the PS2 files to 7z so this value might go even lower.

He literally asked people to donate but not many people bothered. Instead, they just made a bunch of scrapers that downloaded the entire thing at once. It was said as much on in the post and on reddit.

backup sites are already up retard

Just live somewhere where they don't actually do anything about your torrent activity except maybe send you a letter because they have to.
>>
>>736124168
Private Internet Access is fast, cheap and good enough for hiding from anti-piracy organizations when torrenting.

I am not trusting any backup site unless it has been up for 4 months and has had no reported malware uploaded

I would have liked to since everything was in one convenient spot, but I'm still on pretty slow internet, and I'd need an extra 16TB+ drive probably because of all the ISOs.

He was clearly trolling...
Never heard of Myrient until recently and I've never had any issues downloading ROMs / ISOs for any console.
I swear the average IQ of this website has gone down dramatically in the last 5 years.
>>
>>736121935
Goodnight, sweet Prince...
And thank you for the correct game dumps for Retroachievements
>>
>>736125761
Why announce an april fools' joke a whole month earlier? It would be nice if it were, but I doubt it. The only thing not adding up is how it ended up costing $6k a month when other pirate sites cost barely a fraction of that to run with way more than 300TB of games on them.
>>
>>736126205
>I swear the average IQ of this website has gone down dramatically in the last 5 years.
You are proof of that for sure.

If I suddenly remember a game I missed, I swear...

ive been pirating games since before some of you were born and have never heard of this site, whats wrong with vimms lair?
or just fucking google (game) rom

I can, I just prefer DDL for games specifically. Don't ask why.

Don't most of the other pirate websites extensively make use of third party file hosting services? Like mediafire, gofile, 1fichier, pixeldrain, etc...
>>
>>736127991
oh yeah those websites that pelt you with ads, make you wait 120s for a link and download at 100kbps

By actually having other resources since the 90's instead of panicking like a little faggot thinking only one website offers ROMs? Whatever you say.

please kill yourself

>>736124168
Proton allows port forwarding which will give you better speeds. If you're not too bothered about that then mullvad, PIA or Ipvanish will do fine.

PLEASE tell me the Pokemons have been saved. Myrient was the only place I was able to get Pokemon Emerald and now it's gone.

How could you not know this?

Nope, all Pokemon roms have now been wiped from the internet. Sorry. Gone forever.

And how often are those updated?
>Rarely, if ever, meanwhile Myrient had everything from NES roms to obscure recent cadeshit dumps and fully up-to-date MAME collections.
And how reliable/seeded are they, or what are the download speeds like?
>Lol, lmao even.
And how many of them only have US/NTSC ROMs and lack the EU/PAL versions?
>Ehmmm ackshually the burgerfat version is best.... uhh..... because it just is, okay?
And how many of them cover newer systems, or are they all just retroshit?
>What do you mean you might want to download PS3/WiiU/newer cadeshit/older PC CD/DVD-ROM games???? You vill take your NESshit and be happy!

Most "torrent ROM sets" are only useful for retroshit consoles and you'll have a hard time finding anything for newer systems or older PC software.
>>
just what are you going to do with these roms anyway?
>>
>>736123106
If by bloat you mean all the pre-patched roms including 3tb of fucking RetroAchievement roms then agreed. Phonefag bullshit.
>>
>>736131241
masturbate
>>
>>736131256
the fucked up part of that is Retrocheevos implemented multiset to reduce/remove need for patches, and prior to that they hosted the patch files. There was actually no reason to ever host pre-patched subset roms.
>>
>>736126205
It’s Gen Z in general, first generation to be dumber than the preceding one.
They are completely technologically inept too.
The last 5 years is just when they started ramping up visiting this site

that explains why Indians are taking our programming jobs because they can't code and Indians are making things worse!
