Admin's in an obscure European country as I recall, I'd be surprised if he hasn't been contacted at all after running for 10+ years but they probably don't give enough of a fuck or have the authority to do anything.

There are better sites for retro roms though, some of the dumps there are of the terrible scene variety - intros and ridiculous compression methods everywhere. For PS2/GC/Xbox they're still number one though.

The same can be said of any crime actually.

The fact of the matter is that the owner is in India and their police don't really give a shit to track him down. It doesn't hurt that their domain is in Hungary, and they don't like foreign governments coming in and trying to shut their servers down.

Even if they are in the EU.

on PS2, scene releases are fine
fuck GBA scene releases though (you didn't have to crack shit, why the fuck is there a stupid cracktro prepended to the game), I'm so glad the DS scene never did that shit

also, DC scene releases are garbage, mostly because the data layout of the image is absolute trash (nothing like playing say, Dynamite Cop and it having 4x more loading than it should with the DC drive motor making as much noise as it can because it has to seek back and forth constantly)

Old games always tended to be left alone. In the year 2000 they gave a shit if you put up N64 games and you could expect to soon be served with a notice, not particularly if you put up SNES and it was open season for NES, C64 or similarly old games. Time has moved on and now they don't really give a shit about PS2, gamecube etc. If they started putting up PS4 games you can be sure they wouldn't last long.

Those releases were meant for flash carts, not emulators, and on those you sometimes needed to bypass protections.

Besides, dumping hardware wasn't as cheap in 2001 as it is now, and writing intros on a GBA isn't something everyone can do either. So if they wanted to put their intro their, all the power to them.

>>3702478
>DC scene releases are garbage, mostly because the data layout of the image is absolute trash

Some games do that on their original GD-ROMs too (Garou MOTW comes to mind). Also, often there is no choice due to GD-ROMs having better seek and load times due to their physical layouts (everything is on the outer rim by default, and the data density is double), and this cannot be replicated on a CD at all for larger titles.

For small games, yeah, you can pad them out to the end of the disc. But on larger games, or games that use lots of CD Audio, that's not an option.

Yeah, even though the DC scene releases are pretty much obsolete now (unless you play your games off CDs like an absolute pleb) they put an incredible amount of work into those to make it so people could play those games from CD-Rs.

Back when those GBA games were released sometimes they didn't even work on emulators without the scene cracks. Those releases with intros and such aren't really needed now and they're not necessarily better than modern dumps that have been verified but I like seeing the intros on my real hardware. Brings back nostalgia for days when I used to go into #gbanow and #gbatemp and download the newest games to play them on an emulator. That's the same reason I download old BBS scene stuff for 16 bit consoles. Love seeing their work on the real hardware.

Also, IINM Coolrom wasn't always Coolrom, (or was it RomNation?)

There was Ice-something-roms/emu and the site looked more like UndergroundGame with blue tint.

Read the Wikipedia page bud. Not risking a ban for being a /pol/ user for pointing it out here.

Here's what you fags never grasp about jews though.
It's not that they push "degeneracy". It's that "degeneracy"(media, music, porn, etc) tends to be VERY good on the demand side, and jews being into business and making money throughout history tend to know a cash cow when they see it.
You might see it as a bad thing, but really it's just another way to survive and make do in life.

No. They're meeting a demand that's already present. Because there's money in it and people will spend that money.

Horse to water son. Bad life choices are the fault of the lives that make them. That simple.
It's like when people complain about how easy older FF games are. The whole point of RPGs is that you can make them as easy or as hard as you want.
For example, No-Materia/No-Item challenges.

You make the choice. The people who do unseemly shit, make the choice.
I use powerful stimulants myself. I make the choice. I know the dangers, I still make the choice.
No jew EVER offered me free a-php(I wish). I bought it myself. Same with anything.

You want the truth? Humans are degenerates. It's why we're so awesome.
