No more ISOs?

[bendanna]

[qwertywordy]

Might be server issues? Nothing is working right now.

[MatCTM]

I guess it's over. But I don't know. Many times thing's like that happens. So we have to wait

Please be patient guys, a lot of stuff about rom downloads has happened in recent times. There should be some more information soon but for the time being just please wait before spamming the forums with posts or threads about missing games

So you are Going to Stop having Roms/ISO's on the Main Site? or Even for Forums?

Nintendo with there Massive Suing is getting what they Want

That is correct.

[qwertywordy]

That is correct.

are there any plans of hosting just the torrents of the files instead?

No. The old tracker was flipped off in the end because it drew more heat than simply hosting the files. Torrents represent massive amounts of connections which can all be watched. They just have a "I didn't do nuffin" defense, which doesn't really work.

They can't legally get you in trouble just for hosting a simple Torrent file, because a torrent by itself doesn't contain any copyrighted material, but rather is just a link to the copyrighted material that other people have on their own hard drives, or servers who are the ones hosting, and uploading them. You're only legally liable for copyrighted content if it's on YOUR hard drive, or server, and in this case Emuparadise's, and you're the ones uploading the content yourselves. Being the fact that you're not officially affiliated with the people who are actually hosting the copyrighted material on their hard drives, or servers then the legal responsibility falls on them, and not you guys. This is the same reason why they can't legally get people in trouble for streaming copyrighted music, and movies off of YouTube, and other websites etc on the internet, or using apps such as Show Box on their tablets, and smart phones to stream this copyrighted content, because there are laws in place that protect our rights to go on whatever websites we want, and to watch whatever we want on the internet that someone else is hosting, and uploading, all in the name of preventing censorship on the internet since censorship of any kind period is against the law. It's only illegal when you decide to download that music, or movies on your own hard drive, and you upload it to the internet, or host it on servers for other people to stream, or download. This is why all legal responsibility always falls on the people who are actually making it available to stream illegally, and never the actual streamers themselves. This is why you see streaming sites constantly shut down every day, yet no actual streamers themselves are ever legally in trouble for accessing these websites. So they can't legally get you in trouble for hosting torrents on Emuparadise simply because doing so would be like saying it's illegal to have a link to someone else's website hosting the illegal content, and they can't stop you from doing that because we can legally link to any website we damn well feel like. They may bully you, and send you frightening emails, and letters to try and scare you into thinking they can do all of these things, and has all of this power but in reality they can't actually do shit to you, and they don't actually have as much legal power as they want to trick the mass general population into believing they do. It's all just fear mongering which are mostly just empty threats at the end of the day. Preventing you from being able to link to other people's websites, or in this case hosting torrents which link to other people's computers, and servers is going beyond copyright, and is getting into censorship, and like I said above, censoring you is against the law as that is in a way infringing upon your freedom of speech, access, and availability. You have legal rights that they don't want you knowing about, and linking to someone else's website, and in this case, hosting a simple torrent file which links to other people's computers, servers, and websites is one of those rights. Most people have more legal rights then they're even aware of, and the same goes for you guys.

[Dave The Man]

That is correct.

Sad to hear. Emupardise is going to be lot Quieter Now.

What about the Link on the Forum's Then?

[deadlegion]

What about the Link on the Forum's Then?

I don't have any information about those right now so I can't say either way.
Will update asap.

Not that I'm aware of. EP did have a tracker years ago but it died.
Unlikely that would come back.

[ghostwolf]

I now know how Switch felt that fateful day when Cypher stood ready to pull her plug... Not like this...

What will you guys be doing now? Whats our best bet to finish our game collections now? =/

[deadlegion]

Whats our best bet to finish our game collections now? =/

Depends what you need. There are entire rom collections on private trackers, including redump stuff.
Some stuff is on public trackers but there's also a lot of trash to sift through there.

And finally there's probably stuff on newsgroups, but that requires access that isn't free. Well, there are free trials I guess (or there were anyway).

Gotcha. Never knew about trackers before but I feel like I'm learning one thing after another this week while starting to set up these games. A bit unfortunate timing overall really, but if I can find some private trackers or get in there somehow, then the sky may not be falling afterall.

I'm still very sad though. Ahhhh.

[ShinigamiKiba]

This is horrible
I just started downloading PS1 and Saturn stuff, I really needed some of these games
I'm losing my shit right now as the games are unaffordable and I have nowhere to download nicely packaged versions with cue and bin files and everything like that

I said just remove nintendo stuff, not EVERYTHING ffs
We're not all rich ass first worlders to be able to afford $100+ retro games that can't even be officially bought anymore
what the hell

We can't all afford to pay $150-$300 per used game to some sicko on ebay, some of these games are impossible to find for reasonable prices. I was all for removing Nintendo ROMs since those are easy to find but I literally am at a loss as to where to get Saturn and PS1 games now all nicely packaged in bin and cue formats like they were here
I have nowhere to download games from and gaming is literally my life, I'm losing my mind and panicking because I had just started slowly downloading PS1 and Saturn games for myself and playing them.

I don't know what the hell to do now
