We only have so much time before the google caches and any sort of archives stop working. We can still save a lot out of Emuparadise.
ALRIGHT YOU FUCKING NIGGERS, THERE IS STILL MUCH WE CAN SAVE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
Right now, there are (((google)))-cached versions of many download pages where you can still download the shit from
We need to get on this shit right fucking now, if we start coordinating we can have most of it backed up to anons and easily shared in share threads or some other archives at later times, but we have to fucking hurry
Focus on niche shit first, japanese versions, unusual shit that's hard to find and so on and move up to the more mainstream shit is what I'd recommend.
I'll get the PSX/PSP e-boots and neo geo shit going
STEPS TO DOING THIS
Find a page you want to download from (if you don't see a ROM set or anything you're looking for, use an archive)
Use a search engine to look up the page you're trying to download from
Hit the little green arrow next to the search result that will say "cached"
Download
And that's it for right now.
I got a Neo Geo ROM fullset and fan translations/hacks/patch fullset for the SNES so far, be sure to grab whatever you can, the more obscure, niche and hard to find the better
Anyone with the bandwidth and space should try to snag the biggest ones they can find

Copyright law wouldn't even be a problem if companies weren't spergs about it. If anything, turning a blind eye to people pirating your decades old games is good for business.

The limit cannot stand without stipulations. For example you cannot be permitted to hold a copyright for 20 years and in all that time produce NOTHING with it. I would say after 5 years of inactivity you should be forced to sell or use the copyright, and if no buyer can be found for it the copyright enters into a probationary state held by the government. Copyrights in this state are not public domain, but are essentially available for anybody to purchase at public auction for practically nothing.
The ultimate goal of copyright is to protect and foster the product itself, NOT the creator. Creators who fail to produce anything with their copyright are guilty of copyright infringement by way of neglect.

Last year, I started going through EmuParadise and other sites and downloading all the games off the recommended images, though mostly just the stuff I thought seemed best or most interesting to me. Everything up to the PS1 era is easy enough to get in huge batches, but once you hit PS2, downloads are slower, download limits can fuck you over, and sometimes it's just not easy to find certain games. My thought process was that, sooner or later, ROM sites would start getting shut down. Some bullshit law would kick in, or some legal department would finally get the right vector to C&D the shit out of these places… I hate being right. I also hate that I stopped downloading and backing up shit to my bunker drive months ago.

Other than keeping them on a relatively new external drive that gets little use outside of stashing files on it. No form of storage media is made to last forever, but you can at least use something that will last you long enough to transfer it to something else that's more reliable, later on. I'm not building a time capsule here, after all. Just trying to ensure that if I ever want to play these old games that I don't have to shell out to some shitty company that poorly ported them to Steam and demands 60 dollarydoos for them even though no one at that company worked on the games.

Heads up, TIZ has some JP only PS2 RPG called "Kowloon Youma Gakuenki re-charge". Probably not of that much use or interest to those that don't know moon, but on the other hand from what I remember, Emuparadise never even had that one, at least as a stand-alone download. Not sure if it's any good, but I had gotten curious about if anyone had bothered uploading it after seeing some anon mention it in a thread. Might be worth grabbing for posterity if you're attempting "full sets" for the PS2 (which would likely be easier to do if split into major genres, if you ask me).
>>15273549
Nico's retro split site (in that older games were moved to a different domain) has both USA English dub and USA patched JP dub for Abyss. Checked TIZ as well, but they only have it in English. Also, their site's being really fucking slow; I doubt they're well equipped to absorb that much of EP's former traffic.
Also, if you're a moonspeaking Tales fan, I do hope you got Destiny 2, Rebirth, Destiny: Director's Cut, and NDX in some format already, and maybe some of the other escort titles we didn't get (Radiant Mythology 3, for example), as well as Eternia/Destiny II, considering the former ones are JP only and the latter is expensive as fuck (US anyhow; PSP port was brought to Europe but not NA) and has no PSN version on any region's storefront. JP versions of Eternia should also be considered, on the off chance someone down the line wants to use it to rip the skits and translate them back into the western versions.
>>15273595
I remember an anon on cuck/vr/ years ago lamenting that his local area had not one copy of the game, because no one had even cared to order it out there (assuming any knew about it to begin with). Makes me wonder if he ever got around to actually getting it, be it ordering online, or pirating. Regardless, it's still at TIZ for the time being.
>Back cover tagline is "Two worlds in peril, one unforgettable duo."
>But people can't forget what they never knew about to begin with.
I swear I've only ever seen about three copies where I live, and this area has a surprising amount of interest towards niche games in my experiences.

PCSX2 doesn't support it properly last I checked
Basically the game requires a CRC hack to work, that CRC hack is applied if the .elf matches the CRC, this patch changes that so the hack isn't applied anymore and you can't change that without manually modifying the source and compiling yourself.

Acquiring and archiving the physical copies of games is important too (Arguably much more so) because, unlike ROMs and ISOs where you can endlessly make copies of them, you will have (((collectors))) who search out and destroy products to increase the "value" of their collection. Regardless…

That's odd.

Should just say translation, given the state of things (I know there's some games that have genderswap patches, probably a few tranny ones as well).

RHDN should have a list for English and other languages, but I'll double check and see if they're missing anything I know of. Sometimes they're slow to update once something's come out, and at times they won't host patches themselves between filesize issues at points (AT2 up there has a 1.6GB patch, size mostly from full undub and restored content Japan didn't even get) and respect for creator desires ("muh pageviews").

If Tales is of any interest to you, the PS2 remake of Tales of Destiny, particularly the 2008 Director's Cut, is one I've seen moonspeaking fans consider amongst the best of the 2D entries in the series. System also had Tales of Destiny 2 and Tales of Rebirth as JP exclusives (though those do have PSP ports, also JP only), and which still have no English patches (best there is are some translation scripts by someone named "lanyn".

Also, see about downloading older ROMs from services like the Virtual Console.

How much actually on Emuparadise is solely on there and not already covered by a No-Intro torrent or equivalent?

Why the fuck are you trying to extract ROMs from virtual console releases when there's not only multiple sources for a No-Intro ROM set, but practically the entire library has documented and verified hashes in a public database? On top of that, VC releases are frequently doctored or censored, as with for example the word "bugger" in Super Mario RPG, or certain visual effects in Super Metroid.

You can find eboots on other sites (PS1 games usually rolling with the "PSX2PSP" class), but overall they're not as apt to be quite as cohesive as EP was.

The legal loophole that the usage programs like Freeshop to download games is not illegal, and that Nintendo has some explaining to do (In court) if they ever attempt to attack users for using the services. On top of this, evidence has come out and proven that Nintendo, themselves, is downloading the ROMs illegally.
>On top of that, VC releases are frequently doctored or censored, as with for example the word "bugger" in Super Mario RPG, or certain visual effects in Super Metroid.
Nintendo's emulator censors/"patches" the output of the games. The actual ROMs themselves remain untouched. The only VC release that has had the ROM actually altered is Donkey Kong: Original Edition because the game is a literal ROMhack (And, even then, the emulator still changes some of the original file: https://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_(NES)#Original_Edition ).

With them trying to get rid of popular sites like emuparadise (their competition) I think this claim is hilarious enough to be true.

Copyright does not have to be defended, trademark does. This is a matter of copyright.

I don't blame them for doing it, with the whole muh piracy hurts sales bullshit, but that's obviously wrong. And even if it wasn't, the older shit shouldn't keep being milked anyway. This helps them do nothing other than alienate fans of their games, who will find the roms elsewhere anyway. And for what, Nintendo Network™ subscriptions?

The thing is, Emuparadise has been dead since a long time ago, even before they took out the Nintendo roms. No site updates or new uploads for years, it looked abandoned already.
Besides, it's more like shittydumpparadise. Tons of 8-bit / 16-bit roms have intros or are bad dumps. With the 5th / 6th gen ISOs it's even worse, I'd say 40% of them or even more are bad rips. Their mame romset was also outdated af. Even their DOS games section is full of bad releases that have issues or don't work, with nuked releases, corrupted files and the like.

Shut up if you don't know what you're talking about. For NES ROMs No-Intro only hashes the ROM data. However the No-Intro ROM sets you see floating around online will not match these hashes because they also include iNES headers, or otherwise they are not playable in most emulators that use the iNES header to determine the cartridge layout. The plain ROM will not tell you anything about the cartridge, and iNES is an emulator-only thing.
In a similar vein, older SNES game copiers have their own headers on the ROMs. These are actually worthless to emulators but show up on a lot of ROM dumps because that was how they were obtained.

Even when the game was CD format to begin with? I mean, obviously the PS2 doesn't really do native loading for PS1 games (which used regular CDs), but the PS2 library itself was spread over three forms of medium, so I'd think it should be able to load any of them. Or did the system run CD PS2 games via the PS1 compatibility or something?

True, you'll feel good, but it's just a waste of time. And, seeing where the night has gone, I've wasted a few hours uploading games when I could have been doing something else more productive. I'll finish uploading the rest of my ROMs, because I might as well since all I have left to contribute are a few Sega CD games, but there seems little reason to strike up the alarm bells and backup everything from every ROM site getting shoahed (Aside from emulators, emulator plugins, and system BIOS because those are a messy business to find the right ones for certain systems). If anything, all people should be doing (If you're that dedicated to preservation) is archiving the website's pages on archive.is/archive.org/etc. and verifying that you have every ROM listed on the site even to the point that you have every rerelease/revision of a game (IIRC, there are four versions of 影の伝説 for the Famicom floating around out there, not counting the Western releases) along with every single Alpha and Beta (Did you guys save the Pokemon Gold/Silver beta release?).

Yeah, it's digital only, upscaled, and I think they've been adding trophies and such for games given that treatment. Unlike other companies that have been doing HD ports though, Sony seems to see no reason to do physical rereleases of the games at this point (the ones that aren't out and out remakes, anyhow). Anyhow, if you'd be looking to justify dropping money on a system, you ought to be looking into actual games made for it, rather than just buying it for a port machine when a PS2 (or as the case might be, PS3) could suffice for the originals in the first place. And definitely don't be the sort that drops money on a system for a single game, if you mean one of those other two would be Kingdom Hearts III.

An "LG WH16NS40" gotten for less than $100 has served me well for writing 100gb M-Discs. The discs are the expensive part, not the burner. You can back up all the old pre-CD console/arcade/computer games on them without it being very expensive (less than $200 USD for burner+discs), but CD and later will get expensive if you want to do them all.

They didn't have that many artbook scans there anyhow, and admittedly I haven't checked to see if those are still up, but I'd wager they're lower priority than purging of games. Some other sites like TIZ might have some artbooks there as well (though it wouldn't shock me if some portion are just mirrors of EP's scans), but that's more likely to be a case of having to broaden your resources. I do know of a few places, though obviously even between them all it's not like there's a full catalog of artbooks, even just for vidya related content.

Was trying to get at the Japanese files for Tales of Eternia (in case someone ever fan translates the skits and patches the game with a script rip from the official English release). Checking the listed host style they'd used for it, it was split into three individual discs (and thus three downloads). Tried compiling the the url with that base IP, the JP PS1 folder name, and then the encoded disc name after it (IE: Tales%20of%20Eternia%20(J)%20(Disc%201) ) and got a 404. Same thing trying for the JP discs of either Lunar game. But that's assuming I'm putting the urls together right in the first place.

And if you ignore the fact that it's chock full of bad rom dumps and bad iso rips (many of them non-working), that other emulation sites and collections ditched for better quality ones ages ago.
In particular, their Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast collections are a total fucking disaster, and anyone archiving them is actually doing a disservice to the community by perpetuating broken dumps.

Yeah, so far the PSP, Arcade games and some other miscellanea titles have the same problem. For PSP etc as I told you, just go to archive.org and see if they have a theoretical link to the download, which won't work but MAY have the actual filename of the ISO you wanna get. For NDS games, most of them follow the numbering from another page within emuparadise that is still active, so if you just follow the links from there it will tell you what you have to add. It's a really wonky mechanism but as long as it works it's fine.

That has its own problem of how are you going to fund keeping a site itself (assuming a front end with properly up-kept links), if not whole servers to store the games to download off (which if only doing really old systems wouldn't take too much space, but start getting into fullsets for disc based media, or more recent carts, and it can add up fast)? I would assume most anons wouldn't want to go a donation route after pigfeed's Next experience soiled the idea (never preorder an imageboard, or a website in general for that matter), and going the other direction, it's entirely dependent on the owner to keep it up out of their own goodwill (and what if he turns into cancer?).

STOP WORRYING ABOUT BACKING UP INCREDIBLY OBSCURE GAMES THAT ARE NOWHERE ON THE INTERNET LIKE FINAL FANTASY VII AND START ARCHIVING THE STUFF THAT WON'T EXIST IN A MINUTE

Yes there are, try using a search engine and not being retarded.
PROTIP:the one that's mildly harder to find publicly is the Bandai Playdia one

there's also magnet:?xt=urn:btih:57c5611ce473c52c6262580887eac58c4be68cf1&dn=Sony%20PlayStation%20%28NTSC-J%29 but some files are not complete

Yeah the 1fichier link is fairly recent (8.9k discs) so that's probably as good as you're getting in something public, if you're willing to dig around there's slightly more recent stuff (currently at 9534 discs total with 17 misses) but that's private for the most part
The huge problem with the Asia set is that prior to 2016 it's a wasteland there's an immense amount of shit missing (the completed set goes from around 500GB in 2014 to 900GB in 2017 to give you an idea)

Well, I found everything I wanted from that one at least for now. But 400 GB is a huge fucking difference

Alright I'm retarded, I can find the cached emuparadise fullsets just fine but when I click on download it takes me to another page and that one isnt cached
e018ab No.15280133
Also if there's already some links to download console romsets somewhere, I have space and really fast internet. And, I know I have a torrent for all ps2 games somewhere, but I think it's american versions only

If anyone wants to have a go at backing up the artbooks and magazines, you can try this script with violentmonkey or whatever:
https://pastebin.com/yPAeeRdX
These links aren't hidden like the rom links so archive.org works for ones that are already gone from google. At least for getting the file name, which you can then append to the base url.
The script works for roms as well if you uncomment the line with the comment..
I'm not smart enough to automate this shit, as my c# application triggers the google bot detection so you need to fool around with cookies and headers after solving captchas, and I barely know any c# let alone web shit.

You need to find the cache of the last page on the string i.e the one that has the actual download link

If you could somehow separate the files in https://thepiratebay.org/user/niggertendo/ torrents so we can actually pick which files to download it would be extremely helpful. Would take a lot of work though

It's literally just the same link with -download added to the end of it. Also see >>15280135
This works for the roms where you can click "list all titles"

Same as any other data disc. I've used ImgBurn on Windows and whatever came packaged with the Linux distro I was using at the time. For M-Disc compatibility the only difference is the drive needs an extra-powerful laser for writing; non-compatible drives can read but cannot write to them reliably. Make sure it supports the disc's format (DVD, BD-R DL, BDXL, etc) for reading, and additionally has M-Disc compatibility if writing, and you are fine.

So, Windows Imgburn, ISO 9660, no ECC, no compression, reads on Linux cdrtools?
I'm having a hard time believing you.
Can you try restoring from your backups, both OSes?

So I guess it is a good thing I downloaded complete sets and a decent amount of gamecube, dreamcast, ps1 and ps2 stuff. I may have downloaded obscure collections.

I do know I have the following no-intro sets.
NES
SNES
Mega drive
Master system
32x
Sg1000
PC engine
N64
Msx
Msx2
Virtual boy
Gameboy
Gameboy color
Gameboy advance
Atari 2600 (goodset)
Atari 7800
Atari st
Commodore 64
Atari jaguar
Atari lynx
Game gear
I might have more. I am new to the scene but if there is anyway I can help, I'll try to check here for responses.
