this is why you make redundant backups of all your shit

BASED
vimm was always a dog turd

>>8821661
wtf nooooooooooooooo

>>8821661
oh it's literally back up now lol

vimms lair sucks. downloads take hours. just use emuparadise.

>>8821661
well i got to see the board for like 30 seconds before it went down again. looks like he's been having issues the last few days.

Vimm's is slow, and only has American games. archive.org is far better.

>>8821709
Yeah if you want a virus maybe

>>8821693
>>8821709
>heard someone just the other day complaining about archive.org's SLOW download speeds
>they said they used Vimm's and it was much faster
I don't even know what's what anymore.

>>8821709
archive.org is way slower than vimm's. fucking impossible to download anything past 4th gen.

>>8821686
yup :) we're back in business

>>8821729
use the torrent download :) all love

>>8821734
Dumbass I hate you so fucking much holy shit. The torrent is bugged it only goes up to letter B. It's been like this for years.

>>8821737
Works for me

>>8821737
no need to be rude :(

>>8821727
the only slow thing for me on vimm's is 6th gen and up
below those it's fine

>>8821729
It's for using a download manager and downloading everything all at once. You avoid problems like crying about a rom site going down like some sort of retard zoomer.

>>8821751
you think zoomers know what the fuck vimms is?
are you a zoomer? jesus fucking christ i'm tired of this zoomer insult it's retarded, you're retarded. do you know how old vimms is?

>>8821751
why would you download everything when most consoles don't even have 50 good games? complete waste of space.

>>8821778
nta but while i do agree that that insult is retarded, it is very easy to look up "what are the best rom sites now that romhacking.net is dead" and as a zoomer that's how i found it at least

>>8821661
Works fine for me. Now, how about deleting this thread :) ?

uh oh everyone go back to turboroms.ru

2022... coolrom is forgotten...

>>8821778
>you think zoomers know what the fuck vimms is?
...yes? It's a current and massively popular ROM site. I found it last year for the first time.

>>8821810
too late to delete...

>>8821719
What?

>>8821818
coolrom is fine, they just haven't had nintendo games since they were taken down years ago

>>8821737
>>8821739

works for me too

>>8821778
vimms is the most popular rom site now that most people cant just go to emuparadise and press download

>>8821808
er just realized i got the site wrong my bad
meant emuparadise
must have been tired when i typed that out

>>8821661
F

>>8821709
It has Japanese and European games as well, just not for PS2, PS3 and Wii from the look of things.

how the hell has vimm not gotten caught yet? one thing when an em site just offers 8 and 16 bit but they just have 7th gen games up there no problem.

>>8822154
does this mean?

>>8821686
Applebros…

>>8821727
Archive.org and Vimm and both slow, but I think Vimm is a bit slower.

the few websites form the 90s that still exist will all be dead within 10 years because the people who run them are old and dying...

The old computer is best but it has no nintendo roms I think.

>>8822150
>>8821729
It mostly uses archive.org links, but the /r/ROMs sticky keeps a link to this thing: https://r-roms.github.io
The Sony tab also has some Google Drive PS2 links if that works better.

>>8822307
Good. The users will be forced to develop some taste.

NINTENDO JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE!!

>>8822150
Oh, I did not know that. I did still find it to be slow, and I couldn't resume the downloads when they failed (which seemed to happen often).

>>8822154
maybe because they're not *technically* isos, but nkit isos

>>8821661
I hate it when this happens. Why is there no other website that offers xbox isos? The ones on archive are the wrong size

>>8822154
>they just have 7th gen games up there no problem
7th generation isn't in production anymore. It's hard to build a piracy case (where the damages are based on loss of business) when you're not even selling the stuff that people are pirating.

>>8821731
Why is there a PS3 section but not Xbox 360?

>>8822474
>PS3
>Xbox 360

Never heard of them. I can't believe there have been 360 generations of Xbox in the timeline you came from.

>>8822486
It's actually called the Xbox 360 because it makes you want to turn 360 degrees and walk away

>>8822492
>turn 360 degrees and walk away
you're thinking of 180 degrees

>>8822501
>you're thinking of 180 degrees
This fuckin' guy...

>>8822501
it's a meme u dip

>>8822492
I would definitely do a 360 and start playing Akai Katana and DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou

>>8821709
It takes me 18 minutes to download a 100mb file from archive.org

>>8822492
>>8822501
>>8822505
Consider the following.

>>8822516
Just use JDownloader2 to speed those puppies up or you can queue multiple files at once. Using a download manager is practically required if you're gonna use the archive.org

>>8822516
Oh no! Not your precious time! Too bad you have to stare at the download bar to keep it going!

>>8822656
>people use archive without jdownloader2 downloading 20 files at a time
single-rom downloaders are NGMI

>>8821804
For "archival purposes" which is just a glorified way of saying hoarding garbage I guess.

Where will we go to once zoomers/Redditors/Twitter users inevitably get Vimm's Lair shut down one day?

>>8822914
One of the other hundreds of sites you can go to for roms

>>8822829

>>8822914
to my 50tb nas

>>8821709
Vimm has a lot of other region games it just only shows USA releases by default. You have to edit the filters.
Anyway archive and vimm are both slow.

>>8822829
>archive shaming in a rom site thread
Shouldn't you be encouraging it? Somebody has to make another rom site for you retards when Vimms and coolrom go down, and it's not gonna be me.

>>8822501
New eh?

>>8821836
He spouts nonsense.

>>8822501
how can you be this new

>>8821818
Coolrom is great for anything non-Nintendo

>>8822501
moonwalk retard

Whenever someone complains about slow download speeds I'm just confused. Are you guys on the run? Homeless and only have 15 minutes left on the library computer? Just leave the download running and go do something else what's the big fucking deal. It's awesome we have these sites at all.

>>8822914
Go to the next romsite retard. We've been doing this for 30 years.

>>8822501

hownu.ru

>>8824831
Hate to sound like a reddittard, but unironically first-world problems.

I don't find the speeds THAT bad, though, and I'm living in a third-world country (with 100mbps connection, but still).

>>8821731
When are those fags adding japanese titles to the PS2 and PS3 section?

The day they fucked Emuparadise was one of the darkest days for video games. At least Vimm is still up

>>8824831
And it's not like any of the games are more than 1 gb unless you are downloading PS3 or Wii games

>>8827315
What about Xbox, PS2, GameCube, Dreamcast and select PSX titles?

>>8827319
>checked my files
>PS2 games are actually way more than 1 GB
>Fatal Frame 3 is fucking 4 gigs
>even Mega Man X8 is 2,3
Damn, I'm retarded, completely forgot about that

>>8825260
Where are you from?

Cd romance, rom hustler, cool roms is the best.

the only roms site going down that upset me was isozone but it was much more than just a piracy site

I found a link through reddit that has mostly all games for every system. Does anyone want me to post it ?

i stopped giving a shit about vimm when i saw it doesn't have v1.0 of ocarina of time and only has the shitty ass revision

>>8827371
Yes, but if it's just an archive of tranny porn, please filter to only amatuer stuff before posting.

>>8827397
How many games are like OoT where the revisions are a straight-up downgrade, though?

>>8827397
must suck having no games to play because you only know Nintendo shit

>>8827406
Most GTA games.

>>8827759
Are we talking mere revisions within the same console or also taking shitty "remasters" into account? I meant purely the former.

>>8827775
I just mean the same game with a new version on the disc. Most GTA games remove radio songs with every revision. VIce City also removed a grenade item.

>>8827819
Fair enough.

>>8827397
????

>>8827405
Ok. I will post it in one hour.

>>8821719
Vimm fucking sucks ass. Slow as hell download speeds.

>>8828778
Answer this>>8824831
What is the rush? Why do you HAVE to have a ROM in a couple minutes? Why do zoomers demand instant gratification where there isn't even any benefit.

>>8821661
I hate that everything Wii is in nkit, always have to convert them

>>8828795
It's a problem when there are other sites with literally x50 faster download speeds. Like anon said earlier. Why the fuck are Wii games nkit format?

>>8828795
NTA, but for me when it comes to a large file, I have the misfortune of the download just randomly quitting either halfway or near completion. I'm a cucked Burger so the average download speed from Vimms for me is about 500kb - 1mb, fluctuating infrequently. Switching to a VPN doesn't alleviate the issue either.

>>8828907
>Why the fuck are Wii games nkit format?
I'd bet it's because of server constraints or whatever, but considering the slow download speeds for some it's probably so you have to wait long and you can just convert it with their converter software.

>>8828936
*so you DON'T have to wait long
ExCUSE me.

>>8828936
It's fine for the sub 10mb shit but if you wanna download most CD based games it's a fucking pain

>>8822914
Vimm's Lair has already gutted the selection, anyway, especially the SNES games. Tragic.

>>8828953
What are you talking about? the only stuff that isn't there is stuff that wasn't released officially in English

>>8828959
I'm talking about I've been using the site since 2000 and I noticed that a huge amount of the games are gone, such as the SNES version of Dragon Quest 3, which I still have on a laptop but it isn't there to download anymore. There are tons of others missing as well. What are YOU talking about?

>>8821709
There's a filter at the bottom.

>>8821729
I download PS2 games from there all the time. It's fine.

>>8827915
Nice thanks brother

>>8828967
???

>>8829315
Actually, I found it. I was mucking around on the site and realized the bastard made changes to the interface. My mistake, anon. On the other hand, I wish this thread would get deleted because I don't want the site to get nuked.

>>8829337
Motherfucker, vimm's is page 7 on google when you google "roms." It's not super sekrit club romsite.

>>8829337
>I wish this thread would get deleted because I don't want the site to get nuked.
KEK
If not back in 2016, why now? Don't get so spooked.

>>8829686
Assholes on /v/ end up making a thread on Vimm's every ~ 2 weeks, if it hasn't been removed thanks to 4chin yet, it likely won't ever.

>>8829486
I'll never stop lol'ing at tards that think every """private""" tracker that gets named on this retarded site isn't already known by authorities.

>>8828897
>I'd rather download 4gb for a game that's 500mb as nkit

Why did they do it bros?

>>8828897
Wbfs is only slightly bigger than nkit and runs on both the Wii and Dolphin

What is an ice-o zone ?
