>>736122929my nerva?
>torrents too scary
>>736122929What is with this file structure?I could be wrong, but I don't remember Myrient being sorted like this, wasn't it pretty straightforward, with only platform names and games?
>go down to random file>keeps giving a htm file>6th try randomly gives a .torrent downloadwtf is this trash?
>>736125121give them a chance. Its hard work to do this stuff. Come back in a month from now.
all you need is the magnet you newfags
>>736124662It's the same. Just click on No-Intro if you want download games from consoles that use cartridges and Redump for consoles that use Disks. Or use RetroAchievements like me.
>>736125217>magneti don't see a single magnet link
>>736125121What console do you want to download? They made a torrent file for each console collection I think. I tried to download RE1 and the whole PS1 collection showed up. That is good because the obscure games will not die because some people will download the whole thing.
>>736124123>>736124263fagsif you're scared, get a vpnor go without
>>736124263No ISP will ban you because one of two copyright infringements. If you get caught start using a VPN.
>>736122929So how long are you gonna wait for the new archive to stay up before you can trust it? Unless there is a ring of people who are well trusted, I don't feel comfortable downloading a ROM that could have come from IndiaReally sucks this site had to go. It really was nice to have a safe site with the breadth of ROMs that it had. I am sure we will get another site like it
>>736125426no I might get a virus from the torrent
So why are torrents scarier or cause an ISP to yell at you and not direct downloads?
>>736125645they can and will cut off your internet>happened to me after getting caught once
>>736125645Because when you are downloading something from a torrent or seeding, your IP is public. So Nintendo Jewish lawyers can see you and send a mean email to your ISP.
>>736122929>>736125426Not downloading your csam files, david.>>736125557worse, a visit for the feds>>736125764mine got a fed visit and a millionaire fine, the second warning is a +10 years in jail.
dude i just want games wtf
>>736125820>So Nintendo Chad lawyers can see you and send a mean email to your ISP.instead, can shut down the torrent search engines & blank the magnet links to avoid these problems.
>>736125764>>736125820>>736125880please tell me you guys are american or something
Anyone confused. Go to Redump in the folders to go to the games.
>>736125937First option if you are going to use an emulator
>media preservation is my passion niggas when you ask them to seed a torrent
>>736122929>Archive>In torrent formSo not an archive then.
>>736126032isnt it obvious?
>>736122929how do you download entire collections? like if I want to seed the entire NES catalog
>>736126009Last one
>have to torrent roms individually wtf? That makes no sense, especially for sets where everything is less than a gigabyte
>>736123161Will take 2 weeks until everything but the most popular roms are without seeders.
>>736126167Try do download one game. They will give a .torrent file that will open the whole collection to download.
>>736126071yea idk wtf they were thinking. gl getting any old weird japanese games cause no ones gonna seed those
>>736125556>So how long are you gonna wait for the new archive to stay up before you can trust it? Unless there is a ring of people who are well trusted, I don't feel comfortable downloading a ROM that could have come from IndiaCan you block seeders and leechers from India?
>already taken downlol!
>>736126292it goes against intuition for a romsite but it might be beneficial to actually spread the word about it. cause i sure am not going to seed
>>736126032Doesn't have anything to do with which country one is from. That's just basic technical FACTS about torrents.Your IP = public
>>736126331is it? the website opens for me
>>736126331It's not. It's because many people are trying to access the site at the same time.
>>736126071>>736126292It's better than nothing and safe from sudden closure, takedowns or other randoms shit happening.
I doubt anyone is going to go after you for pirating ps2 games. Its only Nintendo shit you have to worry about
>>736126414that's why you VPN, or live in a 3rd world country that doesnt give a fuck
>>736125556>retarded zoomer frog poster doesn't understand how torrents work or how to check a trusted dump with no-intro or redumpI'm glad myrient is dead so stupid niggers like you stay the fuck away from sites like these
>>736122929WHO THE FUCK IS SEEDING IF ALL THESE SETS ARE BRAND NEW 5 MINUTES OLD?1this shit is spooky as fuck
>>736126032supco in america just reversed a ruling about that anyhow+ fearmongering lad about jail time is applied only for criminal infringement, which is defined as gaining commercial advantage or financial gain in excess of $1K/180 days so rofl
While the site is down, here is the .torrent file for the PS1 collection. https://files.catbox.moe/x9bb68.torrent
>>736126553oh the sony thing? that was funny lol. dunno why they keeps trying to pull this shit
>>736126542They are...Don't sleep tonight...They're gonna get ya...
>>736126542They spent one month between them seeding the sets between the data hoarders.
Im so glad that I got the AR Tonelico games yesterday and Valkyrie Profile, kind hate I didnt knew about that site sooner,
>>736126542fuck this Anon might be onto something
how well is everything seeded currently? are they seedboxing everything?
>>736126071They should upload everything to IPFS, honestly.
I mean I praise them for putting in the effort but its a hassle compared to direct downloads.
>>736126654How large is it?
>>736126541NTA but how do I check?Look up if the CRC or SHA or whatever code matches? Or something else?
It's really janky.They've messed something up with multi-platform games, for example: Resident Evil 4.The website doesn't properly distinguish between platforms on these, and you end up with a Wii torrent instead of a PS2 one.
>>736126541You sound very bitter and hurt. Being a contrarian is not the best way to live your life and hopefully you will be happier
>>736126824Sorry I forgot to tell this is for the Retro Achievements set alone, so it's a little bigger than 300GB
>>736126824It's 544 kb.
>Byteswapped instead of BigEndian on a lot of downloads>htlm instead of .torrent being downloadedGood job they backed it all up but yeah it needs a few more days to iron everything out.
>>736126654>here is the .torrent file for the PS1 collection. https://files.catbox.moe/x9bb68.torrentIs sharing a torrent file already copyright infringement?This is important.
>>736126774https://www.reddit.com/r/savemyrient/comments/1s951fx/everybody_torrents_are_out_good_news_and_bad_news/>inb4 leddittl;dr yes they are
>>736126864>The website doesn't properly distinguish between platforms on these, and you end up with a Wii torrent instead of a PS2 one.Browse by console you retard
>>736126871contrarian to what, stupid faggot? to stupidity? then it's very telling why that post made you seethe
>>736126879>>htlm instead of .torrent being downloadedJust wait a few seconds until the site is fully loaded
Site is up again
Vimm is good enough.
>>736126907why not give it a few days or a week before turning everything on? now everyone is rushing all at once
>>736124190>Delores>clitorisI don’t see it desu.
>>736127069but who is Vimm and why has his website always looked liked it was made in 1995
STOPTALKINGABOUTTHESEWEBSITESkeep i underground, manga fags have been suffering because of normie retards and troll reporting, lets at least bring that old rule back
>>736126847that's literally it, figure out how to search for rom dump information on the no-intro (cartridges) and redump (discs) sites, and then compare the hashes with the ROM you downloadedon windows you can use a command like certutil or pretty much any app that can generate sha1, sha256 or md5 hashesthere are ROM managers that can check the hashes for a bunch of roms, but that's only necessary if you download a full romset instead of downloading a couple of games at a time
>1 seedergrim
>>736127160How the fuck are we gonna get the torrents seeded in the long term if we dont catch some data hoarders to do it? I kind of doubt that the seedboxes of the team behind the site are gonna last that long
a lot of people in here worried about their IP being public when torrenting that have clicked into pragmata threads in the last 6 months and had their IP reported to every single police agency on earth
>stalled>downloading>stalled>downloading>stalled>downloading>stalled>downloading>stalled>downloading
>>736127160It's far too late for that
>>736127324
>>736124123my favorite zoomer deterrent
>>736127169based. thanks!
>>736122929Are they all seeded, forever?
>>736127453the fact that it's already over since nobody is seeding makes them an everything deterrent
>>736127160It's all over r*ddit you fucking retard. It doesn't matter if WE talk about it or not.
>>736127491If (you) seed them forever, Anon.
I already downloaded RE1DC. That is fast enough for me.
>>736126946I am, but it doesn't care.Wii's Resident Evil 4 is named "Wii Edition" so it doesn't count, but if they're named the same thing, it ignores your platform and decides randomly.
>>736126847I'd assume you're on Windows >PowerShell/TerminalGet-FileHash "C:\location of iso"It defaults to SHA256 by default, if you want to check others you need to add -Algorithm (insert hash)Get-FileHash "C:\location of iso" -Algorithm MD5If you've got 7zip idk if any other ones do this i've only ever used 7zip>Right Click file > 7-Zip > CRC SHA > Choose whicheverIf it matches then you're good. Good habit to check the hashes on anything you download these days with the amount of shit getting hijacked.
>>736127573>Wii's Resident Evil 4 is named "Wii Edition" so it doesn't count, but if they're named the same thing, it ignores your platform and decides randomly.I don't actually believe that
>>736125645in some yuro countries direct download is legally grey, but you get fucked for torrents because you also upload them at the same time as you download
>>736126071trueillegal torrents will be permanently erased from all servers.
>>736127603what about Linux
>>736127573Then check the file format? Go download another PS2 game? Since you get the Torrent file for the whole set, after that you don't even need to use the site anymore
>>736127649Even easier on Linux
>>736123161I wish the search bar worked recursively or that there was a general search bar.Having to go to each directory manually is a pita.
>>736126032Americans dont deal with this, its Germany and other Europe countries, but they are doing it more on the way you dont share info, and are starting to censor/ban vidya
>>736122929>torrent is this gonna be like when you want to get an older anime with no seeders so you just have to wait maybe forever?
>>736122929I seriously hope you guys aren't seeding kekImagine being a seedcuck in the year of the based god trump 2026Couldn't be me
>>736127934>dude who cares about this site going offline>just torrent>lmao who is seeding in current year?>I hope you guys don't do this XD
if you are worried about it just learn how to I2P, as far I know its basically invisible there, but slow as sin
>>736127649If you're on Linux I trust you don't need an anon on /v/ to spoonfeed yousha256sum filesha1sum file etc. then compare.
>>736128002>he does it for freekwab
>>736122929>try to download Sega Saturn game, get "download.html">try to download 3ds game, get torrent for PS3 disc keysActual fucking garbage. How hard is it to just list the torrent files that have been made on one page instead of using a broken fetcher html hiding behind the old Myrient folder structure?I'd rather deal with adware infested sus websites linking to turbobit than this non-functional shit.
>>736128097I just recently moved to linux and I have no idea how to kekthanks thoI've been trying to sync my ps4 controller to a snes emu for months
Why are they archiving MAME when pleasure dome exists?
>Torrents
>>736126009>>736125937I don't understand how you can be so stupid when you can just ask ChatGPT
>>736126071I will
..why, when? did people start shitposting about torrents?
>>736126553>9-0 against SonyTurns out hating Sony spans across political boundaries. Plus, I bet all nine of them have pirated something.
>>736126251it's all getting cached on seedboxes and debrid servicesthis shit will never run out of seeders
>>736122929sweet, the GBA and DS torrents are somewhat small in size. I'll seed them eternally
>>736126553there's still bills trying to nuke gming n general, internet ID, etc, be wary, they hate the fact the internet killed 4 kids
>>736128571Is it possible to check which one you seeded the most?
>>736127160I'm glad this thread was made. I'm already downloading torrents and will keep seeding as long as I'm alive, I have a setup specifically dedicated to this type of shit. Wikipedia, internet archive, etc. Check the /aad/ general on /g/ if you have the opportunity
I'm confused how this worksYou try to download a game and it just gives you a torrent with ALL the games for the platform?And then you have to find it again in the file list (or download everything)?Why even have the per game download? Just give a link to the full platform torrent with a list of games so you can Ctrl+F
>>736128497>how can you be stupid? just ask this idiot instead!
Are you able to download individual roms or is it a fuckhuge rom pack for each console or whatever? I know you can specify what you download for a torrent, but I don't want to scroll though hundreds of things.
>>736128931But enough about asking questions on /v/
>>736128926Yeah I don't understand this either. I'm not downloading a whole terrabyte of every DOS program every made just to get the half dozen I actually want to play.
>>736128617>debrid servicesAre these actually legit?Any yurooor users of that here?
>>736128571king
>>736128571Based
>>736126542they said they downloaded everything from myrient, so they're seeding the stuff they downloaded
the entire snes library is lik 2-2-5gb, genersis is like 700 mb,n64 is like 25gb iirc, not counting fan translations, and obviously you can ignore the shovelwareproblem starts at psone and up, but you can basically save the entire retro gaming library is a usb or small hdd,just saying
>>736128987yeah ive been using them for years since my ISP will rat me out to the dmca trolls and mullvad doesnt allow p2p traffic anymorethey work pretty well and are cheap as hell, most of the time you dont even have to wait for torrents since theyre already cached on the servers
>>736129069>myrientDid they shut down or is it an April fools joke?
>>736129116it's actually over forever, no joke
>>736129116They announced they were shutting down weeks ago because the owner is too poor to pay for hosting. That's why it was all switched to torrents.
>>736126542>giant piracy site goes down>rando immediately comes out of nowhere proclaiming to save it>decides to preserve an archive with torrentsits a DMCA honeypot 100%
>>736129165What did he think was going to happen when he gave everyone terabytes of data to download?
>>736129169also PEDO honeypot too
>>736126032Why would that fag be American? I'm American and have been torrenting for 20 years. I don't even need to most of the time but I do it anyways.
Thank god the files that are available on 100 different website and 1000 different torrents are backed up bros. Close one
>>736129108But it sounds like a honeypot
>>736129273anon, what the fuck, you are not even being funny
>>736129108>mullvad doesnt allow p2p traffic anymoreuse Proton, but yeah blame indians, unironically
>>736126542This Anon up to something or bullshit?
>>736129368well look at it this wayrealdebrid got raided by the feds and while they did have a melty and shat on users no one actually got arrested>>736129416those faggots complied with the feds so theyre pretty much dead
>>736129373is not funny because is the truth.pedos torrents should be permanently erased
>>736129456Just use a VPN if you're paranoid
>>736126542me
>>736129465>realdebrid got raided by the feds and while they did have a melty and shat on users no one actually got arrestedAny article or something where I can read more about this?
>>736129509>skmj-734Neat
>>736129509Chad
holy kek i didn't know the archive site was torrent based, god be with you if you try to download nintendo roms alongside tendie cultists
>>736129465>realdebrid got raided by the feds>feds>Franceare you retarded? I think some copyright nonsense in their country went after them but they just removed the function for the API to check if a torrent was cached. That's the only questionable thing they provided because it basically allowed programs to directly check for cached pirated material
>>736129509Based
Already downloaded all their shit over a year agoIf you didn't see this internet lockdown coming you deserve it
https://minerva-archive.org/browse/Touhou%20Project%20Collection/Official%20Content/Games/2hu GODS it's our time
>>736125530If you live in burgerland no ISP will ban you ever. The supreme court told the music industry to fuck off so ISPs have no reason to go after you.
>>736129780He's coming
>>736129532cant really find an article but here's a trustpilot review where they had the melty https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6743937ca38f9e6f75cab982
>>736127160>STOP>TALKING>ABOUT>THESE>WEBSITESThis site has been spammed for months thanks to schizo retard OP. I'm telling Nintendo just because of this fag.
>>736129853>I'm telling Nintendodo it now, and the other 3 torrent search engines.
>>736129368I downloaded 35 TB from Real Debrid my ISP didn't do shit.
>>736129902yeah because your connection to RD is encrypted, your ISP can only see that you connect to them but not what you downloadthe issue with RD is that they got raided by the french authorities and probably had to give up user records
That's a lot of jeet leechers. Anyway I can mass IP ban these turds?
>>736129841Lmao wtf
i am not against torrents, on the contrary, but...why is it that it's been 2 hours that i'm trying to download very few GB as a test(a couple of PS2 and GCN games), and the WHOLE time it's been stuck at 0% with no seeders at all?they said they set up various seedboxes, but then why it's not working at all?>inb4 try againalready did, every 20 minutes or so i check, i tried different games, done a re-check, restarted the torrent entirely from scratch, etc, no dice, so what gives?
>>736129975They don't even go after people torrenting why would they possibly go through some more obscure shit
>2% seeder to 98% leecher ratioJesus fucking Christ ban the third world from the internet already.
Am I retarded? All I see is links to individual games not full on torrents to entire sets.
>>736130119ds, snes, gba and nes worked on my machine
>>736130245see >>736128926
I hope these niggers are using seedboxes because I don't see the torrents surviving more than 6 months if they are asking zoomers to keep their PCs on to seed.
>>736130281Oh, thanks. That's stupid.
>>736128617>this shit will never run out of seedersi dunno man, im >>736130119 and im stuck with no seeders at allit's not like im trying to get obscure games either>>736130245you can navigate to individual games, but when you click to download, you will not download a torrent file for that one game, but a torrent for the full set that game is in, and when you open it in your torrent client you can deselect everything in it and select the one game you want>>736130271well, i wanted to try to download a few GB of games to test if seeders are actually steadily on, not games where even a full set is barely a few hundreds of MB and takes 3 seconds to download
>>736129780>420 GBwhat the fuck
>>736130353well yeah its going to take some time because everyone and their grandmother is jumping on the torrentsyou'll get some seeds eventually
>>736130353Thanks
>>736122929I recommend everyone to play the Initial D games. It's in the teknoparrot category.
>>736130640You're just trying to bring back the eurobeat threadsI'm onto you...
Damn, proton VPN chads win again. It's half the price too
>>736128980you can select which parts of a torrent you want to download and they've had torrents of them up forever from exodos and total dos collection
>>736122929Why should I use that and not https://vimm.net/ that still has direct downloads?
>>736131239isn't that the guy who steals dusty NES manuals?
>>736129465>those faggots complied with the fedsAnon, they did not hand anything but IPs, they quite literally have no access to the mail or their apps, nd their VPN servers are the same as Mullvad's, made of Ram
what will you do once you download them?
>>736131342your mom
>>736125937Decrypted if you're emulating.Encrypted if you're putting it on a cart to use with official hardware.
RIP
>>736126071It's better than nothing and it gives a chance to have someone else grab the files to make another DDL site. It's the panic button.
Torrents are so much better for preservation and convenience and I always wished myrient had them. Their shutting down turned out to be a blessing in the skies.
I would seed if I had storage but it's so expensive now
There is already a far better Myrient replacement out there, direct download too, no torrent BS.Not sharing it here because fuck you.
>>736132534Okay
Found the page that I wanted with all torrents. https://cdn.minerva-archive.org/
>>736132938Can you zip all the torrents up and upload it to catbox or something?
>>736131239Vimm isn't as complete as Myrient was. Otherwise, if you're a gay faggot like me and you use RetroAchievements, Myrient had a convenient section that had every compatible game and the correct hashes for them. Vimm is fine if you want direct downloads and not torrents
>>736128002/v/ is simply contrarian, forgetting that it use to argue for a reason. It's a cargo cult, hoping if they mimic what looks like an argument, it'll give them something good, but instead it's just mindless contrarian babble. Instead of cargo, they hope for something big to happen and memes to happen, but no one produces OC anymore because if you produce OC or provide anything /v/ contrarianism will look at gift horse in the mouth and spit in it.
>>736129169It was a project that went on for like 2 weeks in a group effort to save everything, it didn't come out of nowhere.
>>736122929It can't be a torrent service. Torrents will stop being seeded eventually. It has to be either a private tracker or DDL.
>>736126907>We do have plans to update and better the current collection>"good" newsWhat a bunch of hacks.
>>736134113Nvm I can't read.
>>736129165Why didn't they just offer torrents as an alternative in the first place?
>>736126009You want the headered roms. NES headers actually contain important information (what mapper the cart uses).
>>736123161>tekno parrotaw shit it's arcade time
>>736128571you are a king
Where is Cookie's Bustle?!
>>736128584All they have to do is realize that all of them have driven on roads that convicted murderers and felons have driven on, and they didn't get punished for it. So why should the same happen on the internet?
>>736127491No, that's the people's job. :^)
>they didn’t complete their collection decades agoSus
>>736136429I put off buying a NAS, I thought storage would only go down in price and I could slowly pick up drives for a NAS as black fridays came and went. When the mad scramble happened, I only had 14 TB available. How do I choose when you only have 5% the capacity of the entire archive?
>>736136621You download things you like and ignore 90% of libraries
>>736125556>I don't feel comfortable downloading a ROM that could have come from Indiayou can ban IPs from india in your torrent client
>>736136621a bunch of the archive is just the same games in other languages
>>736136974this, and the fact that they also have the same game in iso, bin, zip, 7z, and chd format
>>736136864>>736136974and a lot is just shovelware no one really wants, you also only want one FIFA if at all for example, though I dont like sport games so dunno if there's some that people consider better in that regard
>torrent mirrorWORTHLESS
What's with the private and aftermarket versions on some of these?
>>736132938Gonna try and seed as many roms from Japan and the rest of Asia as I can with 40TB of space.
>>736138102Ebay.
>>736136018https://minerva-archive.org/rom/?name=Cookie%27s%20Bustle%20-%20Nazo%20no%20Bombo%20World%20(Japan).zipI don't know if their search works or not yet but you can browse to it just fine.
>>736138102>aftermarketHomebrew released after the system was discontinued>privateHomebrew that the creators charged money for
>>736136621Pretty much everything up through 4th gen before disc-based media became dominant is only a few dozen gigabytes in total. You can just pick and choose your top 1000 games from 5th gen onwards and probably still have space to spare.
>>736122929nigga i can't download shit without seeders.
>>736131258Not sure about the stealing manuals part, but Vimm has been caught editing the headers on roms and modifying disc images.
>>736138612Negro the game I am downloading has 2 seeders kek
>>736139021For what purpose?
>>736138102Private is games released for actual money at places like LRG, Chromatic, itch.io, etc. that people get autistic about pirating because people actively make money for them currently and have a big moral issue about it even though they're being hypocrites.Aftermarket is bootlegs or prototypes released after the system died. It's virtually always homebrew that some guy on Temu or AliExpress put to a cartridge that then later got ripped. Rarely it'll be prototypes.
>>736128571i kneel...
yay it didn't die!>torrentAieeeee it's still dead actually!!!!!jkThanks for the Wii/3DS roms. It was a perfect storm with the Retroachievements Wii rollout ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>TorrentsGood luck finding any seeders lmao, this shit is functionally dead on day 1 already.
>>736139868>RetroachievementsWhat is this?I've been seeig this mentioned lately in some sites
>>736141554What, I mention RA here every day and it's not till a Twitch streamer says something that you're interested
>>736141613i dont watch streams, nor I emulate that much since I like physical and stll go hunt down stuff, but I assume they'v been adding achievments to old vidya?mite be cool to actuall play some of these
>>736141554An achievement system site for older games, rom hacks and other shit decided by a committee of faggots that you link to through an emulator
>>736142383that sounds cool, ut would be nice at a local level, that just screams data leak or something
>>736142651I think you'll be protected by the amount of Brazilians on the site
>>736123161>gets taken overnight by MPAA download bots sucking up 3PB per dayhow will they stop this?
>>736128576shills. they are desperate to convince people that torrents are 'le spoopy'
Wasn't there a 1 billion lawsuit where ISPs said fuck you to corpos for asking them to ban torrent users?Either way, never gotten trouble with torrents for decades.
>torrentI shan't be sneeding.
>>736143758Europe pressure, even in Japan, ISPs told corps to go kick rocks since there's legit uses for torrenting, same with TORbut they have zero incentive to pirate 99% of the time since its ground zero for vidya and the second hand market for old stuff is HUGE
>>736143758Torrenting is a peer to peer method of file sharing. There's nothing inherently illegal about it. Why, I download and upload terabytes of open source Linux ISOs every month!
>>736122929>savedyou can't really call that saved. I can't think of a single person who would seed shit like 3DO or 3 different revisions of the same ps3 game (100+ GB)
>>736122929So is it only torrents through WebRTC, is it just .torrent or magnet links, or are there actual DDLs, because if it's anything except the last, I don't see why this site would exist compared to just listing in a public tracker
>>736145102>or are there actual DDLsNo
>>736122929Fuck it's April already
>>736122929>torrentDoesn't that mean only normalfag garbage you can already find anywhere is going to get seeded?
>>736128571I kneel.........
>>736147442to some extent, yes, this is why you archive, we might have to do file sharing on I2P at some point depending of how things go
>Have to pay for a VPN unless you want to get fucked by your ISP>Even if you do that, there's no guarantee that you'll even be able to download the game you're looking for because it might not have any seedersThe absolute state of torrentfags
>>736122929>if in doubt ask usor post hashes you faggot retards
>>736122929Are the Pokemon leaks here? Like the past builds of the games.
Is the ISP bullshit a recent development or specific to games? I doubt anyone gets up your ass for torrenting some obscure 90s OVA but if you donit with a game theyll get you?
>>736147442This, how am I supposed to play those obscure underrated games youtube algo is recommending to me through eceleb reviews now ?
>>736127160Are you fucking retarded or whatJewish lawyers know about these websites way before you do
>>736126898It's not you dumbass.
>>736148298They literally don't, retard-kun. One former copyright infringement lawyer for Nintendo directly contributed the majority of their lawsuits occurring in the first place due to journalists reporting on various piracy websites. The other big cheese aren't as stone age stagnant like Nintendo is, but no doubt they figured it out as well from word of mouth. The loudest fart gets the shart after all
>>736129169Even if it were true a VPN still solves it
>>736147442my main issue is no one saves jap games. finding jap versions is a nightmare. I could only get blue dragon's jap version from myrient
>>736148984Why would you want JP Blue Dragon?iirc its not different and the US has the JP dub anyway
>>736149565Maybe he's a japanese learner and wants the version with japanese text.
>>736149565>why would you want to play games with jap text>t. 1ヶ国語しか話せないノロマ
>>736149565There's no reason to play translations once you know the language.
It's dead for me.
>>736122929>GOGOGOGOGO!I don't want anything. I wouldn't use it until I think of something that I want. What exactly are you expecting people to do? Rampantly download everything?
>>736143758It was ruled that it is not possible to know that someone has the intent of committing copyright infringement when they become a customer, so the ISP can't be sued for it. All they'd be required to do is give up customer information if they get subpoenaed. At least, that was my understanding.
>>736122929>Everyone who wanted to download everything out of panic already did it before Myrient shut down>Most of the remaining people are just going to download popular games while the obscure ones die due to lack of seeders>Very few people even bother to seed once they finish downloading the thing they're looking forThey really didn't think this through.
>>736150803Forgot to mention, most people looking for popular games are just going to use sites like Vimm since it also has those roms, and because of how casual-friendly it is.
>>736150231>>736150257>>736150279you know what, that's not the worst idea, any game you reccomend for my begginner in jap ass?
>>736133047Okay if no one's going to do it I'll do ithttps://litter.catbox.moe/7o7rik.7z
>>736122929The original myrient team made this torrent archive?
>>736151052either simple genres with little text like a platformer (pay attention to the text, don't ignore it), or games with repetitive text, like rpgsone of the first games I played was dq1+2 but while the main game is not very complicated, the dialogue does have some tidbits that are hard for a beginner. e.g.>shit like princess laura saying "ureshuu gozaimasu", an obsolete way of saying "ureshii desu" (which is technically incorrect, as i-adjectives shouldn't be coupled with da/desu, but it stuck anyway)>the priest in dq2 going "kami no gokago ga aran koto wo" (obsolete way of saying kami no gokago ga arimasu you ni, i.e. may god's blessings be with ye)
>>736124123get a qubeos, vpn and vm.
>>736151052You can actually play the newest Pokémon games since like X/Y in Japanese with most copies. Old RPGs will have old kanji that's not used or gamer language you will struggle with and katakana in english for menu buttons that sound like retarded babbling.
>>736151761>Obsolete.No, not obsolete. We call that "Archaic"/Liturgical speech since its religious/ceremonial in English. Think how people who read directly from an old KJV translation sound like.
>>736152064I just hate kobun because it never sticks
>>736152134Obsolete would be Heian or extremely outdated phrases like "de gozaru" the way that some Ninja characters speak like.
>>736136621I've curated everything up to and ps2, gc and xbox and it's under 1tb, just don't hoard shit then it's no problem.
Anything worth grabbing besides Playstation 1 and 2?
>have a modded 360>recently turned my old gaming laptop into an emulation station>just finished moving furniture around and setting my living room up for console gaming yesterday>completely forgot myrient was dying>went to bed excited to start building my library today>wake up>remember myrient died but then remember the torrents happened>grab the 360 one and try to get ridge racer 6>0 (1)>0 B/s
>>736125121vibe coded faggotry>>736125191fuck you, minerva
>>736153050Damn you missed out, I downloaded almost 5tb worth of shit this past month.Vimm'a Lair has a bunch of retail and digital X360 games though.
>>736153050i tried to get 50 cent blood on the sand for ps3>25 peers>10 bytes/s
>>736125556Fucking retarded frogtranny lol.Use 7zip to check sha-1 hashes of the games you downloaded. Compare them against the hashes on nointro and redump websites. If you have a lot of games to check and you're lazy, you xan download database .dat files on those 2 websites, load the dats in RomCenter or similar program, and verify the folder with your games.
>>736131239Vimm only allows 1 download at a time, and it's difficult to grab a whole ass collection of games. It's only good if you're looking for a few games or new updates to romsets.And also it doesn't offer the less popular systems at all.
>>736131342I downloaded all games up to PS2 era a couple years ago... And unlike most depressed /v/tards, I do play them almost every day. I plan to finish as many games as I fucking can before I get a heart attack and die at 60.
Why the FUCK are they seeding the games in motherfucking zip archives instead of 7zip? You can save 5-15% space just from that. I would actually help with seeding if it was in 7zip lzma2. But since they're still stubbornly sticking with outdated zips, I'd rather save hard drive space than help sharing the files.
>>736151052Games for children usually have furigana.
Torrents of what
>>736151020Vimm died though
>>736155549>Games for children usually have furigana.And SMT4, for some reason.
>>736126045>"Yeah man, just keep the torrent software running 24/7 while also keeping your VPN on at all times, basically halving your internet speed"The reason why zoomers don't torrent isn't that they don't know how to, it's that they see how resource consuming it is compared to direct downloads.Personally, I don't like to leech, but seeding sucks dick just as much, which is why I try to avoid torrents. Not to mention that the file being potentially impossible to download if I happen to do it at a time where no seeders are online creates a dependency which I fucking despise.
>>736157072You don't have to route all traffic through a VPN. You can configure your torrent client to do it while leaving other traffic alone.And in most countries you don't even need a VPN.
>>736157072Bandwidth limiters have existed for as long as torrents have.
>>736122929as predicted>50kb/s download speed>10kb/s>deadtorrents can go suck a nigger dick
>>736155823Shut the fuuuuuuuuuuuck up.
>>736158376You had years to save up for a couple 20TB HDDs and download everything you wanted from myrient. What were you thinking?
>>736156178Killing your friends require more advance language, trust me
>>736158376Based and factual. Niggas here can enjoy being 5 inches deep into each other while they keep praising torrents for being fucking awful, I'd rather download roms from sketchy sites and manually verify the SHA hashes.
I love video games!
>>736128571Thank you for your service.
>>736131308even sharing a single byte of data is too much cause they have a NO LOGGING policyhow the fuck do they have my IP if they dont keep logsprotonvpn is a honeypot
>>736158508Some of us did exactly that. Then I realised that one of the CDs I downloaded was a Brazilian release and not the European release, and attempting to fix that ~700MB mistake is now taking hours.
BUT WILL THE VIRTUAL BOY COLLECTION BE UPDATED WHEN THE UNRELEASED GAMES DROP ON NSO?! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
>>736158508>Some anons here believe this unironically
>>736122929Nothing is done, nothing changed in my life, the Lair of Vimm is still up
>>736122929>could only save up to 4th generation games on my main SSD since my other one is filled up and SSD prices are going through the roofhopefully i'll be able to hoard gen 5 and 6 games next year
>>736123161>separate torrents for every gameAre they retarded? This should be a batch torrent, or a collection of batches. Who's doing to seed 10s of thousands of torrents
>>736159506It's 1 torrent for each console, retard-kun.
>>736159662to be fair to anon, the site really makes it look like you're downloading the torrent for a single game
>torrentfor what purpose
>>736159913Paying 6k/month before hardware isn't sustainable.
>>736127160The moment I saw emuparadise talked about on Youtube, I knew it would die soon and it did.Similarly with Yuzu and Ryujinx around the TOTK release.Myrient would have followed suit as well if it didnt kill itself first.
>>736160154if every user would pay $1 a month, the service would have survivedhell, if every user would have paid $1 in just the last month, they could have sustained the service for another year at the least
>>736160371true but people had no incentive to pay so they didn't
>>736122929>no DDLfinally someone with working brain
>>736160371The owner was just a retard>We're shutting down because it costs 6k/month to host not factoring in hardware costs>No I wouldn't tell you that before I decide to close, or put out an announcement that these Myrient clients are raping bandwidthI think he just got bored of it honestly.
>>736155093That was how Myrient had them hosted, as zip rather than 7zip files. Yes this was retarded. Minerva could have repacked them but that probably would have been an annoying endeavor considering the time pressure and distributed archiving effort.
So, is there any convenient way of getting full PS3 romset? The torrents will take weeks, and vimm doesn't allow convenient mass downloading. Debrid won't work cause the torrent is too big, and would time out anyway.
>>736151020Most people are going to use ROM sites filled with ads nr 300Which is good because they don't ask for donations to keep up
>>736161703>The torrents will take weeksAs more peers join the swarm, speeds will improve.
>>736161373He had "other reasons" too. Probably just annoyed with retard drama
>>736122929>t*rrentsDo zoomies really?
>>736161930no zoomies don't reallyjust like sadpanda
>trust me bro just 2 more weeks before speeds become tolerable
>>736160371>pirates>payinghahahahahaha oh no no no no
>>736127160Torrents don't work like that, hell more users mean more seeds and faster downloading
>>736124123Tourist>>>/t/
>>736125121They need to just post the magnet on a given page and not be total retards
>>736122929So is it cool if we pirate now? I think the Supreme Court told Sony to fuck off.
>>736162834I pirated shit and I regularly donate to places like internet archive I also buy an indie game I've pirated if I like it fuck youNever giving a cent to AAA niggers though
>>736128931says a lot about you if "this idiot" is smarter huh
>>736158508how do I plug those in? my mobo only has 4 sata ports moron
>>736162768I don't think I've ever seen anyone over 30 using torrents for anything, only zoomies in their 20s going for the "look I'm Le c00l h4X0R!!11!!" but coming off like retarded hipsters. Direct downloads exist and are way faster in every way.
>>736164835Old fags want to maintain a richfag image, but you know that's just their sad sad vanity.
>>736164017Buy a cheap pcie hba card. Those can do 8 or 16 sata drives. Also who are you calling a retard when you can't even google such a common and simple issue.
>>736164835>"Zoomers don't know how to torrent and this will filter them">"I don't think I've ever seen anyone over 30 using torrents for anything, only zoomies in their 20s"Make your choice already /v/, do zoomers torrent or not?
>>736128571holy shit, the king himself
>>736165615and how do I fit those into my computer? my case doesn't have that much space>inb4 buy a NASfuck that shit I'm not paying $500 to hook up a couple of hard drives
>>736164835It's way easier to find torrents than DDL for stuff like anime or movies. Retro video games sure, they're easier to find with DDL.I don't think zoomers use torrent much. Everyone seems to stream anime and movies now from pirate websites. Torrents on nyaa rarely get much traction, outside of shounenslop. XDCC is even rarer today, the servers with anime xdcc bots rarely have anyone using them (it tells you how many people are in queue ahead of you).
>>736165753If you need more ports than whats on your motherboard you can afford a $500 NAS
>>736165753Buy a bigger case? There are cases that can house 16 HDDs. Some even over 20. Again, you're too retarded to use google or gemini.
>>736128571
>>736122929>torrentObsoleted unc technology.
>>736128576Shartrannies and retardera
>>736165753>I'm not paying $500 to hook up a couple of hard drivesIt's less than 10% of what you'd pay for the drives. Also, you can't spend that much on your favorite hobby? Then you're not passionate enough and it's not for you. Don't go crying when one day stuff you want disappears from the net.
>>736124123TPBPEnjoy your lawsuit honeypot, OP.
>>736166136>>736166281>Yankees believe that everyone can and wants to afford all that to store hundreds of thousands of games, 70% of which will probably remain untouched anyway
>>736153050>5 hours>0.0%so were the redditfags lying about the seedboxes?
>>736161703There is nopaystation that download directly from their servers but they don't have all games.
>>736158376Dude you have like half a dozen of guys with all files trying to seed to literally thousands. It will take weeks before full speed.
Don't get what the big deal is, I like everyone else that actually game have already curated pretty much all the consoles we're interested in over the years. And then we got a month to fill in the gaps, what's all the whining about oohhh noo slow speeds on the torrenting, you've had all of last month to download what you wanted. How tarded can you be?
>>736168595low effort
>one dude hoarding all files is safer than several thousands of people Why are zoomers like that? I have decades old torrents that still working, myrient was very popular, these torrents will never die in our lifetime.
>>736168595People often won't take initiative until it's too late to do anything about ity? idk
>>736155823Wrong, I can still use it just fine. The download limit is a pain in the ass but that's it.
am i missing somethingevery game i click sends me to the asteroids pageand nothing downloads when i click the links
