Homebrew Apparently Nintendo is removing Games off of ROM websites

[Kevbotty]

Shhhhh, don't let them know the secrets...XD

Secrets? I like secrets? I can keep secrets.

Edit: Well, its not "Fun"...

I hope that Nintendo downloaded the full sets before raiding the sites, because you know, they can't recompile the ROMs for VC services on their own.

If you want to have all Roms, you just need to search and find the right people... MASSIVE FULL ROM LIBRARY GIVEAWAY

Archive.org has many, many safety backups (most of them are NTSC-U versions, so if you want different regions, check other sites).

Omg, i just googled things with archive.org and i can say just one thing. Our space will be our problem... #No-Intro-Collection

I just tried that and got things that I don't recognize. I'm not a gaming guru, so I don't know what is able to let me download and play roms. *snip*

I personally hate piracy a lot, but I also think this development is rather concerning.
I mean, over at our community, we host full ROM hacks as .nds files also, so I really hope Nintendo doesn't mind customised ROMs (even though their policies prohibit it even harder).

Moreover, all key Nintendo departments already know of our existence for years.

As I said, it's a pastebin.

The glory... the magnificence... it's beautiful...

I have EVERY SINGLE NES ROM/ROM Hack (according to the site), you name it, from that paradise site. I would be willing to upload them to an online storage that is hosted by the community.

Learn what a private torrent tracker is?

Shame BCG, BTG, and UG all died.

Time to more seriously back-up GoodSNES, GoodNES, GoodGBx, GoodGBA and the massive DS archives, I guess. Ninty... why are you so slow with releasing VC games, I wonder. Like SNES on the 3DS, really. You'd expect them to have shat them out at record breaking speeds and us to have a giant library available to us by now. But no. Only about 30 games in about 20 franchises. If they don't do it, we will ourselves. ROM injection and RetroArch emulation are a godsend.

What is the strategy here in taking stuff down? Are they targetting only stuff that they are actually selling right now in VC form? Seems like it. For example, Balloon Kid (GB) and Mario is Missing (SNES lol) are affected, while those are games you'd never believe anyone would even care about over at Nintendo or customers would even buy. However, Tetris (GB), about the only game that got delisted from VC ever for no reason in particular (probably copyright infringement of some sorts on Nintendo's part), is unaffected. They are probably trying to get a message across to pirates with this "u pirates go launch a Russian rocket with blocks". -_-.

Pfft, BCG deserved it, bastards banned me even though I contributed actual BCG-exclusive releases.

I just finished putting all of these on a private server.

What Nintendo is doing though could be an indication of what they are planning with the VC. Let us just stop the piracy talk and focus on that?

ETA: I think it is really logical Nintendo tries to protect their ip. They are doing this rightfully so, I think. Them is the breaks.

The same time they did this they removed the Pokemon gsc with link patches from that iso site they got rid of them on the mega links.

Well, maybe theyŕe planning to make a bad emulator with loads input lag again like on the Wii U? Well I hope not. Hope they learned anyway ^^
