No more ROM downloads from EmuParadise

E-Penguin · 10 August 2018, 15:06

Whilst the stuff they had is almost certainly available elsewhere, it was a very useful site for looking for the odd ADF without wading through the gigabytes of TOSEC.

No great loss. Planetemu is a far better site in my opinion.

sssh! First rule of Planetemu is: you do not talk about Planetemu! If that site gets taken down I will shed a tear.

Disagree, emu paradise had Isos that are fairly hard to come by without torrenting, planet emu is literally an out of date tosec repository

Seiya · 10 August 2018, 18:27

emu paradise continue to have all roms available

Retro-Nerd · 10 August 2018, 18:34

Not if you actually try to download one. They are off.

But there are enough sites for Roms and ISOs. Also a lot of Full Set uploads in different forums (no torrents).

Edit: Ah, some stuff like Computer games is still online.

I tried the way back machine but the files don't seem to be archived

Should be enough to find single Amiga games (direct downloads).

All thanks to Joe Public deciding that retro-gaming is cool. If only the sheeples could stick to their iShits and their Bookfaces and leave our geeky hobbies alone.

Planetemu removed all their Nintendo Roms too btw.

Paulee_Bow · 13 August 2018, 19:19

theoldcomputer.com got rid of Nintendo Roms too.

Kinda glad I downloaded them all when I was 15. Lol.

Nibbler · 13 August 2018, 22:49

This is a HUGE blow for Videogame preservation

Download the Complete Romsets for the NES,SNES,N64, Gameboy, Game Color .....
just in case

(maybe use isozone.com for this)

What the hell are you doing Nintendont ?

nobody · 13 August 2018, 23:00

I have all the ROMs I need for Nintendo systems. Well you know Nintendo is hostile to all sites hosting their ROMs. This isn't something new. I think there was some talk about Nintendo threatened that site but they ignored Nintendo so maybe now things are more serious.

Fiery Phoenix · 13 August 2018, 23:07

All about money as the BBC article sort of mentions.....

"Nintendo is launching a subscription service for its latest Switch console in September, which will include access to some of its retro titles."

nobody · 13 August 2018, 23:49

Bad thing is that emuparadise had some rare stuff I couldn't find (easily) elsewhere as dos games and some Japanese titles. All in one place, now probably would have to look here and there to download this and that.

Nibbler · 14 August 2018, 00:28

If it would not have been for the passion of the fans ALOT of those would be already lost

Its just like Professor Henry Jenkins said. (sorry its german but if you listen carefully you can hear the english voice)

Good thing I bought a microSD card (for my Retropie) that's loaded with 100,000+ roms for 40 consoles including C64 and Amiga.

I extracted the roms and archived them.
