      As always this is a pointless announcement.

      “We’ve stomped out 7 of the 800,000,000 websites hosting illegal roms. We will pat ourselves on the back because there is a big number involved and one or two was a “big player” but that vacuum will be filled almost immediately by one of the countless sites left behind. We have wasted millions of your tax dollars to enact the vengeance of nintendo/sony/etc with the illogical nonsense that this is theft when the overwhelming majority of people who pirate media would have never purchased the media otherwise. But this allows us to justify wasting your money by saying we prevented hundreds of millions of dollars of theft.”

      Is a more accurate version

      For your question: honestly the best source in my opinion is a private torrent tracker (like GGn, but you’d need an invite or to join another site that has openings/interviews and an invite forum which usually is hidden until you’ve been around for awhile and have seeded/downloaded a decent amount)

      The much easier faster way is just sites like https://nxbrew.net/ but these get taken down from time to time
