Rom Sets Full
Hello everyone, Just a quick question - What happened to full sets of roms?
Gameboy Advance Rom Set Complete
I recently got a new HDD because i dropped a 4TB one that had a ton of my stuff on it (fun right?) meaning I also lost my fullset of NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube (yes gamecube, and yes it was about a TB total), Gameboy, GBC, GBA, and Genesis games. Yes I know it's a lot, I downloaded them all several years ago when I was really into playing emulators on my school's computers during computer science class.
Search the history of over 380 billion web pages on the Internet.
I looked today to see if I could possibly replace them and it seems like full sets of roms are relatively rare today; I couldn't find a single site that actually allowed you to download a full NA set.
Just wondering what happened - in particular the Nintendo consoles are tricky; Did Nintendo take down all of the rom sites or something? If they did, why haven't new sites come up like they did in the past?
Also, does anyone know where I can actually download roms at now? I tried a website called Vimm's Lair that i saw on this sub a while ago and the download speeds were incredibly slow - like 200kb per second making it very annoying to download roms, especially bigger ones.
Mainly right now I just want to have good games, like the top 50 for each system or something.
