I’m shocked, but not surprised… if that makes sense. Just checked a few of the common sources and they have no more Roms to download. Besides one source so far. I’m so glad to gone through all the trouble and archived the last couple of years on my local drives. Now its the time to do your local backups on USB hard drives, as you don’t know what will happen next.
It’ll be okay. I remember panicking years ago when they attacked other ROM sites. The games will go back up. Maybe in another location, but they always go back up. They cut off one head and another two grow back
I’ve really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.
I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn’t take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal
Archived roms are not available, so there might be some truth in suspicions about publishers being involved…
I think publishers were involved but those services are the lowest priority so I wouldn’t look into it that much.

I’ve done what I can

How do I do that? It sounds like a great idea
I can’t find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.

I haven’t tried it yet, but there might be a better or easier way!
Damm they got hit hard. Line no n64

Ok, sorry, stupid here: what are archived roms?
There was some Nintendo, Sega, etc. “backups” available.
Last time I checked, those had been made inaccessible before the recent hacking attacks.
They were accessible for logged in users at least a week before the hack.
Confirming they were available the day before!
They’re still available on the big ass hard drive I downloaded them all to.
Interesting. I wasn’t logged in, so I didn’t know.
