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

It's honestly kind of amazing that it lasted so long in the first place

Vimms always appeared first in Google searches for ROMS. it was inevitable

Ugh...Next will be the Archive

Somebody should tell Nintendo that a bunch of their games are available from the Switch NES app. Maybe they'll she themselves out of existence and we can finally enjoy their games in peace

It's not gone, they didn't even take down all of the Nintendo games, they took down specific games (reddit link), albeit a lot of them, but there's still lots of stuff left.
