Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help?
Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be removed soon with ios emulation and retro handhelds bringing so much attention to roms and these sites
Dang, that sucks. It was a good place to find stuff.
they may want to consider lifting their blocking multiple concurrent downloads for this to get done ahead of them starting to remove titles
oh of course, I just meant that if the Vimm’s team would remove that restriction on the site, the community would be able to dump the roms and help archive them way easier than if we had to sit and wait for individual iso’s to finish downloading
They run the site for free and there’s basically no adds. You expect them to afford capabilities for 100s of people doing 30-40 rom downloads at once?
What exactly are you asking for?
I personally could do with Mario kart 64 and super mario 64. Also LSD Dream simulator for PS1 as that’s apparently supposed to be this really spooky scary Japanese game
This repo should have what you need if you are having trouble finding them.
Thank you (ah I already looked here and I couldn’t find anything mainly gc and Wii games sadly)
I actually noticed something similar the other day when looking for Red Dead Redemption PS3 on Vimm’s I got given.
‘Download unavailable at the request of the Entertainment Software Association’
At one point, I found a complete set of ROMs for every single game on retroachievements.com. It’s almost assuredly out of date by now, and I’m not saying it would have every single Vimm ROM…. But there would be a lot of overlap. If any are already wiped from Vimm and nobody has a backup, let me know and I’ll do some digging to see if I have anything comparable.
