  • Thanks etherphon! I will take a look at that private tracker.

  • I appreciate the enthusiasm Lindene! In fact, someone in SimpleX suggested IPFS to me a few months back.

    It sounds crazy good, there is a lot of good things to say about it, however, unless IPFS becomes mainstream as ThePirateBay made BitTorrent mainstream in the 2000s, there is a low chance a mass audience will adopt a tool that currently requires reading a long manual just to download a video game.

    BitTorrent is not perfect, but the fact that a website uses the same file sharing protocol since 2004 says something.

    IPFS is a total PITA. It’s not worth it.

  • We did...It's complicated!

    https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/ROM_%26_ISO_sites#BitTorrent

    We have found the torrents from the Reddit user r/1G1R to be a great choice, but some of these collections use a file format that does not work on an emulator. For example, the "1G1R - Redump - Sony - PlayStation" torrent has ROM files stored in a .7z archive (does not work with DuckStation). That is Game Over for those that want to download, play and archive every game at the same time. :(

  • Yeah, we know that being "illegal" puts us in a bad light, perhaps we can embrace it. And apologies for the bad impression! This is the first time we want something as big as the lair, and we know that messing it up would ruin the movement. :)

  • We have to admit, a private torrent tracker would be more efficient to prevent leeching. And using a torrent client to download a 2MB ROM is extreme, so perhaps including a "playable" 1G1R version would help for those who want the whole collection and then load any of those ROMs in an emulator without extracting the file (e.g. .zip or .chd or .rvz or .wux), which would prevent having two copies of it, however, updating a 1G1R torrent is out of the question, that would just cause more problems.

  • By the way, you can join the signal group and discuss this further with us! You can send me a direct message as a request or find it in the "RetroTorrents" community page.

  • I really liked your elaboration on the consequences for hosting a torrent site. And forget about money, the only line of defense someone has on the internet is privacy.

    Can't be sued if you don't follow the steps of a Ross Ulbricht.

  • (It sounds brilliant but) No, its a website like the pirate bay, nowhere finished atm...

    RetroTorrents.net has magnet links

    1 magnet = 1 Compressed ROM

    Use a torrent client

    Download compressed ROM

    Play the game

    Seed the torrent

    No need to decompress a .7z or .zip file from vimm or myrient, the ROM file is already compressed and ready to play.
