Next casualty in Nintendo's anti-piracy crusade, art/history preservation be damned.

Since they no longer host ROMs it's totally okay for me to post a link to their site here.

The Internet is becoming worse and worse every single day
Between this and Voksi (Denuvo) it feels like Piracy is really dying

Darn, I had a feeling it was moving in this direction after they had to remove all their first party Nintendo stuff, but it sucks to see it happen. :( Not like there aren't other places to get this stuff but EmuParadise was by far the cleanest public option and had a huge element of nostalgia for me since that was where I (and all my friends) went for their stuff in the past.

Denuvo is often cracked on day one these days, I'd actually argue piracy is more of an established thing today than ever before. Like if you told me anything like the 3DS Freeshop would eventually exist when I was a kid, I'd think it was a fairy tale.

I wish Nintendo actually wanted there to be actually challenging Pokmon games out there.

I can understand some of their other BS. They want to force people to fork over $$$ to them for those games. Understanding doesn't mean I have to like it, though.

Problem is Nintendo doesn't really give you good means to play their old games on new consoles
And Switch is a disaster when we are talking about playing old games...

It used to be...until two weeks ago
A sole cracker by the name of Voksi found a way to crack Denuvo almost instantly
But he became such a threat to them they had to involve his country government and they arrested him
No one cracked Denuvo since and it doesn't look like anyone will

What I'm most mad about in this is not that I can't easily play Nintendo's old stuff, but that forcing all the sites to shut down makes it even harder to get access to actually obscure stuff

Glad I already downloaded the entire nes, gbc, gba, and snes library

once I learned it was just a few megabytes to have all of that I just put it on every flash drive I had in case of an emergency

...damn
This really does suck.

Again, protecting their IP is their legal right and there are decent reasons for doing so, but spooking and losing one of the decent sites for emulating games sucks, hard.

Hope the site still goes on even without roms, though.

As if they can stop emulation.

Nice try, though.

This is the problem really

I have no problem giving companies money to play their games if they will fucking let me. But most of the time actually finding legit ways to play the games I want is virtually impossible.

They lasted more than I expected. As usual, there are many other means to replace them.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
