Easy access will still be around, just much less well known. As it usually is, most things are always around but in a different form.

That said, it's definitely possible that a lot of zoomers will drop out of the hobby. It's more than just video games here; TV is starting to really overuse retro in reboots, and it's at the point that it's over-abused for money that a fad usually dies.

When you hover over a link, pay attention to the text at the bottom of your screen that points to where it's going. A lot of sites have ads that will say "DOWNLOAD NOW" but really just link off to the advertiser, which could lead to malware. A lot of the time the link to the good stuff will be really small and unobtrusive.

A lot of sites can detect this now, but still use an adblocker, you can switch it off if you're having trouble. Or if you're really paranoid do everything in a VM and be as reckless as you want.

If they want you to get a download manager to access the ROMs, run. In fact, never download any kind of executable ever.

Look for a mainpage. If the admins keep a blog keeping people updated about what's going on with the site, that's a very good sign.

Sites requiring a login are bad. Unless they also keep a blog, in which case they're very good.

Not actually malware related, but there are a ton of "ROM sites" that only have weird public domain stuff, mostly hobbyist programmers and those weird porn picture sets that are packed as a ROM for some reason.

True.

I originally only planned to get just the games I like. But then I learned about all this no-intro and cracked intro business and am paranoid about not getting 100% clean rips without any intro. So I'm just getting the full non-intro by the no-intro team sets to be 100% safe. I could fina hidden gem or dick around with a shitty game. The worst that could happen is the game is extremely boring, in which case I can just delete it to clear up my list and have more storage space for things like ROM Hacks, translations, patches, etc.

Replace GoodSet. It's not hard. Cowering is a lazy retard.

[Anonymous No.4985813]

i'll say it again, then i'll fuck off about this subject until the end of the year: intellectual property laws are cancer. in a world without ip laws, society at large would be healthier and culturally richer, and a few filthy rich monopolists (monsanto, microsoft, pharmaceutical companies etc.) would be significantly less rich.

books and music and ideas could be freely and legally copied before the advent of ip laws in modernity. the history of ip laws is convoluted; some countries adopted them in the 16th century, others in the 18th. classical composers whose works were protected by copyright made as much money as the ones whose works weren't. shakespeare did not benefit from ip laws, nor did kant. i know of renowned professional musicians who are cool with piracy and who pirate copiously themselves. the same thing probably applies to the devs of our beloved retro games. of course if you ask the company's lawyers they will probably not be so kind on this matter, and there is a reason the sentiment has often been voiced that all lawyers should be hanged.

there's abundant libertaran literature on this matter. there is no shortage of scholarly, well-argued, staunchly anti-ip arguments out there. those guys who wag their prissy fingers at pirates come across as neurotic faggots with a stick up their ass. by all means be an upstanding man. maybe start by reading through wcsoto's "the avant-garde reactionary book collection", freely and illegally available on the internet.

>muh offensive ROM hacks
Shut the fuck up. No-Intro only cares about shit that was personally dumped by their own morons, which doesn't include a single homebrew game not released via cartridge nor many other things dumped by other people like Battle Kid.
http://www.ancient.co.jp/~game/mamotte_knight2/
(Bottom of page)

That was made by the original devs, one of which composed the music for Streets of Rage, but wouldn't otherwise be included in No-Intro, because they're dumb fuckers that, like you, only care about 'verified dumps'. I'm thankful "BlueMaxima's Flashpoint" exists to plainly archive all the Flash shit, no exceptions, but people like you are a detriment to actual archival and should be shot on sight.

No-Intro puritans are the primary reason why no one is even helping with GoodSet/NonGood. GoodSet is nearly dead, and no one helps out with shit on ROMShepherd. All anyone has to do is patch some shit and post it in the thread, but no one cares. RHDN pretends it's some kind of archive while it doesn't even have a sliver of the Japanese hacks and acts like it's immortal. There's someone on BlueMaxima Discord that ripped the site recently, but of course that's too much effort for most anyone else.

So is it really only Nintendo that's trying to buttfuck these companies or is that just /v/ memeing? It doesn't seem like Konami or Capcom give a fuck about people playing roms, even though the latter just rereleased a bunch of old shit as collections.

U don't need every release of Madden NFL or some otome yaoi visual novel games. Hoarding shit will only make you paranoid when eventually your house gets hit with flood damage or strangers are over to check out stuff on your pc.

Everyone's hoarding what they personally find valuable. It's not my fault /r/datahoarder only talks about hoarding pr0n and Linux ISOs like some kind of retarded joke. I have like 30 GB of Smash Bros. Brawl mods from kc-mm.com cause I wanted to try and ensure some form of archival on archive.org, even if I delete the entire folder tomorrow since 2,000+ of them are dead links. Should I sit here and condemn people for putting sometimes 3+ months into making shit just for someone else to say, "it's worthless, move on, only archive the corporate licensed cancer"? Fuck that.

I wouldn't call it a shitty tradition. I collect scene roms and I really love to see the intros, especially on real hardware. I wish more modern stuff had it. The first time I played the DUPLEX release of GTA V on PS3 I was really happy to see the intro. The projects like no-intro, TOSEC, etc will collect versions without so it's not really a big deal. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some old SNES/Genesis prototypes that only existed with an intro though and versions that made it into sets had them hacked out.
