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

    I’ve been keeping a close eye on it. He said something along the lines of “If you live in the US and the ToS of a piece of software said the publishers could come and shoot your dog, you’d have to prove that they broke some other law, like animal cruelty, to sue them successfully if they shot your dog.” I’m curious to see how companies react if they get a mandate from the EU to preserve games.
