they’ve long killed any desire to ever give them a single cent in my lifetime again.
I really, really hate Nintendo.
With how much effort they put into being most despicable company for game preservation, I’m wondering if their employees aren’t constantly adraid of being assaulted in public.
Tbh, if I would be a millionaire, my hobbies would shift from playing videogames to getting every single one of them and digitalizing them into multiple drives, some of them EMP shielded
You don’t need to be a millionaire to do that.
I’d need a house and enough storage room for this. Where I live a 320 square foot apartment costs about $500 - that’s 25% of a regular monthly income after tax, a regular house is around around $700.000
I mean. Every super Nintendo / Nintendo / n64 game ever is what, like, 16gb?
Someone squashed every* game on the NDS into 256GB
*One locale only
I heard from somewhere that you can get the whole collection down to below 120GB if you compress all variants of a game into solid archive.
Yes, but it‘s not about the digital media for me. I want that stuff physical.
If I was a millionaire I would shift my priorities to flooding Nintendo with frivolous lawsuits. Hit em with a bit of their own tactics.
You can still find them.
Where?
Torrent sites. Internet archive.
they think by force deleting roms for old games they are gonna generate millions of revenue from these games? what is the end game? I really dont understand

Normies ruin everything
Everyone has known about Vimm’s forever, it was the first result on Google for a very long time. It’s not that “normies” ruined it, Nintendo is just now deciding to take aim for whatever reason
Established in 1997, Vimm’s Lair has been a popular place for folks to download classic video games that originated on a wide array of platforms, including N64, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1, and Atari 260. Many of these games can’t be bought in stores or found in digital marketplaces, making Vimm’s Lair a useful place for those looking to check out pieces of video game history. However, Apple’s recent decision to allow emulators on the App Store has seen a massive influx of people looking for classic roms, and it seems all this attention has put Vimm’s Lair in lawyers’ spotlights.
Is the speculation of this site, but also aligns well with Nintendo taking aim at emulators
I saw an article earlier today speculating that the iOS emulator might have raised the awareness drawing the eye of Nintendo, Sega, and others.
Edit - Ha! It was this article.
No, copyright law ruins everything.
Long live to Yuzu !
This is so sad… I hope a new site just like it pops up in its place. Vimms was so reliable, I’m really gonna miss it.
Argh mate, if you don’t want to find freeloaded goodies, please don’t find the no-intro collection on archive.com
For avoiding purposes…
