I was just poking around on there and couldn't find any that I couldn't download. Do you have a specific game?

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

After some looking, now the box art is gone :c

Mainly for Mario and stuff. Also zelda

Only effects earlier gen consoles

I know. I used Vimm too, and still do for very certain stuff. Being in emulation scene since over ~~15~~ 20 years and only discovered Vimm last year, lol. This wouldn't be the first major site we lose. Whatever happens, there will always be such sites. So don't worry, Nintendo can't fight entire world, nor want they.

I know, I'm just pisses cos vimm had the best ui.

Sure, they only had up to 5th-6th gen devices but their ui was fucking excellent

Good riddance to that one txt file with all their Roms tho
