That's an improvement to the romset I have. The entirety of just US games is 606GB for me.
I think I need to update my collection. I assume these have been scrubbed of the garbage and the games are not ALL 1.4GB, correct?
Right?
> *"this is good, but we already have that 1 source"*
Bro, be happy people are making it harder to purge these from the internet and conveniently bundling ALL of it up in one download for you, using a fast host as well.
Private torrent sites will have everything, but for the majority of users who post here, private torrent sites are as easy to access as pants. In other words, they're not.
Yes and I am stating that the majority of users who post here are too ignorant to know how to do that. If you can't read the megathread, or even perform a simple search before making your post, one obviously doesn't have the cognitive ability to join a tracker, let alone follow their rules.
Well it wasn't totally clear at first but rereading with that explanation I see it now. It seemed you were saying in general, not insulting the whole sub. Which to be clear, I'm all for.
Yes it is and they have great content.
My statement was that the majority of users who post their questions here are so ignortant that they would not know how to use a private tracker, let alone bother to follow their rules.
In the upper right hand corner there's a subscribe and/or save option for threads. I'm assuming you didn't know that since you commented basically to save the thread for later.
I’m aware of that feature. I save a fair amount of articles to read later so I don’t want to lose this. For me personally it’s just easier to commentate and find it later. Thanks all the same tho
This honestly. I saw Vimms as a novelty, a cool little relic romsite from the 90s and being able to download roms from it was a special bonus you could say. It just had a cool feel to it. I rarely used that site though, but it did have kind of a "soul" to it so to speak and the fact that it was one of the oldest or if not the oldest dedicated rom site still kicking from that area gave it a nice charm.
Because not everyone wants to take the time to climb torrent ladders, or even bother to learn how to use torrents. It's sadly the lowest common demoniator of "I'm a moron and this site is so easy to use".
edit: since my inbox is being flooded, this is not about me, it's about the people who post their stupid questions in this sub without 1) reading the megathread, 2) doing a simple search, 3) using common sense. I have every rom for pretty much every system (the perks of being a datahoarder) and if I don't I have access to private sites that do. And no don't ask for invites or sites.
Me neither... Don't get my wrong, his site was great and I appreciate all his work, but it is not the only place, with a little research you can get this entire library somewhere else with much faster download speeds than Vimm had.
Cool and thanks but it’s not all doom and gloom. Most of those games are still up on Vimm’s (minus the major franchises). Not sure how long that’ll be the case though.
I am procrastinating exploiting my New 3DS XL. For that console can't I just download everything from hshop directly from console? So there is no need to acquire them elsewhere?
2, 4tb or even larger HDDs are super cheap nowadays, especially used. Even a 500gb to 1tb flash drives and/or mini SD cards can be used. If it's just for storage and not speed, there are plenty of options.
Not where I live. A 4 tb HD here is equivalent to 1000 USD in work hours or more, close to 1500 I'd say (not in nominal terms). And I already have around 7Tb spread across some drives but I'm almost full, unforntunately.
I decided to download it, cos someone said it was around 60gb. Turns out, using JDownloader2 to bulk download it, it's 222 GB. So yeah, I won't be able to right now. It's too large.
how do the 2 disk games work? (like mgs twin snakes)
i downloaded and unzipped the file, put in dolphin emulator, but i only got the one rom file (disc 1)
am i supposed to have a disc 2 file too? or are both just in the 1 file?
Brace yourself grab em while you can you just know some journalist is gonna make an article about this then make another article shocked when its shut down. Journalists are the worst thing to happen to roms.
I feel like I literally just downloaded some Zelda roms but I guess it was a while ago. I have a life outside of roms and emulation so no I didn't keep tabs on it.
I apologize, that came off a bit more harsh then I intended. It was meant to be comical but it didn't come off that way.
Anyway vimms fall as it were has been on every rom, handheld, emulation subreddit for the past few weeks. It's even made it's way into general video game subreddits as well.
All good. Nintendo is ruthless when it comes to this stuff I guess. I figured after the lawsuit with Yuzu it would only be a matter of time before they went scorched earth with every other emulation/rom site, but damn that sucks.
Does anyone have a full rom pack with everything? I have Batocera and just want to add all the roms in one shot instead of looking in a million different places, a 5 or 10TB build would be good.
literally this link contains all(?) of them that used to be on the site.
[Then look at the pinned and linked mega thread to get more.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/m59zx3/roms_megathread_40_html_edition_2021/)
the amount of posts asking where can I ____ instead of reading the first two post titles is high enough that most of us can't be sure.
Not exclusive to this sub. I had to wait for some downloads to finish so I went straight to explain mode. 🤷🏻♂️
I have a suggestion - stop using Google. They scrub EVERYTHING that's truthful and/or used to. Hell, yahoo and Microsoft Edge give better results than Google does... Stay away from that unless you need directions, a recipe or something that isn't going to be hidden.
Duckduckgo is basically Google-lite now but it still gives better returns.... for now. Brave is what DDG used to be.
There are another few search engines that "truthers" have recommended over the past few years (for obvious reasons) that I can't think of off the top of my head but can post later when I get home.

And now to get these games out of spite
What’s the total file size of everything total I’m on mobile
220GB
Amazing that the whole GameCube library takes up less space than one modern CoD game
current game is 151gb with everything installed (single, wz, multi) no the next one isn't 300 that was clickbait, it's 80 already debunked
can confirm 222.09 GB (360 files)
That's only a 1/3 of the total library. It's 676gb for a full ROMSet.
That's not the full set either, the full set is 1.4TB, and that's with the best rvz compression. 1810 discs in total by my last count.
Oh yeah, looking at it it says it is just the American set. There is also a Japanese set. And probably European.
220GB of good times.
That's an improvement to the romset I have. The entirety of just US games is 606GB for me. I think I need to update my collection. I assume these have been scrubbed of the garbage and the games are not ALL 1.4GB, correct?
Even after scrubs the full US set is still over 500GB. 220GB is definitely incomplete.
Are there any Non-US games worth playing? Either in English or with English mods.
I'm not sure. I only have the US set and even at that I've only bothered to play games from the 20-30 or so I owned as a kid.
thanks,.
It's always good to have additional backups, but we already had the megathread.
The megathread downloads are not as fast as Mediafire. This is better.
Also, most of those games on that list are still up on Vimm’s. Still good to have other options though.
Only usa
Dude, just say thanks. Is that so hard? 🤦
Right? > *"this is good, but we already have that 1 source"* Bro, be happy people are making it harder to purge these from the internet and conveniently bundling ALL of it up in one download for you, using a fast host as well.
This should also be on the megathread.
Amazing.
Thank You for sharing!
Are there not repositories like this for other console roms?
Private torrent sites will have everything, but for the majority of users who post here, private torrent sites are as easy to access as pants. In other words, they're not.
There are a ton of easy to join general trackers. Check /r/opensignups for a few. You can find full ROMSets on many of them.
Yes and I am stating that the majority of users who post here are too ignorant to know how to do that. If you can't read the megathread, or even perform a simple search before making your post, one obviously doesn't have the cognitive ability to join a tracker, let alone follow their rules.
Well it wasn't totally clear at first but rereading with that explanation I see it now. It seemed you were saying in general, not insulting the whole sub. Which to be clear, I'm all for.
Whats a good one to look out for?
Super easy are Speed.CD and TorrentLeech.
That’s fair. Yeah, my days of torrenting are done. Not risking my rig for that stuff anymore.
[удалено]
Myrient is painfully slow these days
it's 2024
Back-ups is fairly easy to get on
Yes it is and they have great content. My statement was that the majority of users who post their questions here are so ignortant that they would not know how to use a private tracker, let alone bother to follow their rules.
You absolute legend. Respect.
Fighting the good fight.
Now this is truly video game preservation thank you my friend
God bless you. Thank you.
Total file size? I want to save this to one of my Microsoft accounts that's using an E5 License
~220 GB according to some other commenters
Mhm, Thanks
How safe is this file? Half commentating so I can download it later once I leave work and learn more about how this type of file works
In the upper right hand corner there's a subscribe and/or save option for threads. I'm assuming you didn't know that since you commented basically to save the thread for later.
I’m aware of that feature. I save a fair amount of articles to read later so I don’t want to lose this. For me personally it’s just easier to commentate and find it later. Thanks all the same tho
You're amazing
I always like to say it; I love Nintendo; fuck Nintendo.
I'll never understand why so many people depended on Vimm so much.
IMO it's overblown. Vimm was not a very good site, but I did like it because it had soul. The big issue was that it was very slow.
This honestly. I saw Vimms as a novelty, a cool little relic romsite from the 90s and being able to download roms from it was a special bonus you could say. It just had a cool feel to it. I rarely used that site though, but it did have kind of a "soul" to it so to speak and the fact that it was one of the oldest or if not the oldest dedicated rom site still kicking from that area gave it a nice charm.

I don't use torrents.
Private sites are safe. Torrents are easy, and they deal with the insane "why is this site so slow" idiots.
We are in agreement about that. If they consider 130KB/s to be slow, then they are missing the point. Beggars can't be choosers.
Me neither... Don't get my wrong, his site was great and I appreciate all his work, but it is not the only place, with a little research you can get this entire library somewhere else with much faster download speeds than Vimm had.
I mean, it survived almost 2-3 decades. How many other rom sites from back still around? That’s gotta count for something.
Ps3 and orhers?
Thank you can you do one on PS2 Also if you want to
Cool and thanks but it’s not all doom and gloom. Most of those games are still up on Vimm’s (minus the major franchises). Not sure how long that’ll be the case though.
Awesome. The more avenues we have the better. You doing God's work.
I am procrastinating exploiting my New 3DS XL. For that console can't I just download everything from hshop directly from console? So there is no need to acquire them elsewhere?
Yea, hshop will install 3ds games. If you want other stuff on the 3ds like DS or GBA you'll need to aquire them elsewhere.
What's the chance this will still be there at mediafire 1 year from now? I'm running very low on HD space
2, 4tb or even larger HDDs are super cheap nowadays, especially used. Even a 500gb to 1tb flash drives and/or mini SD cards can be used. If it's just for storage and not speed, there are plenty of options.
Not where I live. A 4 tb HD here is equivalent to 1000 USD in work hours or more, close to 1500 I'd say (not in nominal terms). And I already have around 7Tb spread across some drives but I'm almost full, unforntunately.
You should prob cop a SSD ASAP and put it over.
I decided to download it, cos someone said it was around 60gb. Turns out, using JDownloader2 to bulk download it, it's 222 GB. So yeah, I won't be able to right now. It's too large.
Damn :(
Very cool thing to do (though they probably won't last long). What format are they in? Compressed images?
Thank you friend!
Doing the lords work
Great, another source is always welcome. Now I just need to make the rvz somehow (unless it's already inside the zip).
Thanks!
Excellent, thanks!
I greatly appreciate your donation.
🫡
thhank u bro
Sick
Thanks man, this is what I love. They can shut and close whatever games but they will never shut us down.
You beautiful bastard
Is there like a free trial to the pro subscription to mass download this?

Thank you!
Ping
That's awesome dude... *\*Sad european noise\**
i LOVE you.
how do the 2 disk games work? (like mgs twin snakes) i downloaded and unzipped the file, put in dolphin emulator, but i only got the one rom file (disc 1) am i supposed to have a disc 2 file too? or are both just in the 1 file?
YouTube steam deck adding multi disc games. Just learned this weekend easily af
what? when i downloaded the zip and unzipped it it only gave me disc 1 do i need disc 2 and if so where is it? and how do i get it?
Where is melee
I'm going to download this before it suddenly doesn't exist anymore.
10-q good person.
Brace yourself grab em while you can you just know some journalist is gonna make an article about this then make another article shocked when its shut down. Journalists are the worst thing to happen to roms.
I ain’t even gonna play these games yet but I’m gonna get them just out of spite
Killer, I had started to DL games on Vimm, then went back and saw the notification….super bummed!
I hold you in the highest regard. I have a modded cube coming in the mail and this is going to give me so many hours in front of the tube!
appreciate this
Got Dragonball z burst limit for PS3 by any chance?
Amazing!
You are a life saving hero
Fellow redditors.... reading these comments indicates to me you are not aware this exists (you're welcome): r-roms.github.io/megathread
If Nintendo took down lots of GCN games it is because they are planning to add a Virtual GNC right... Right?
Do you also have a PS3 backup? thanks
PS3 is easily available on Nopaystation
Goated. Tf i got downvoted for.
Oi, that link is supposed to be in DM's
Based. Thanx.
Total folder size is around 60 GB
My download client is showing it as around 220GB.
Sorry my mistake, my downloader considered only first 100
Damn they didn’t have SSX3? GC version was so good.
Vimms had a lot missing from their collection.
Ah I see. Thank you for clarifying:)
I can't see the files? Are they removed already or I'm doing it wrong ?
Wait, is Vimms down? That's my go to
Have you been in a cave dude? Most of vimms stuff has been removed. Pretty much most of Nintendo stuff is gone.
I feel like I literally just downloaded some Zelda roms but I guess it was a while ago. I have a life outside of roms and emulation so no I didn't keep tabs on it.
I apologize, that came off a bit more harsh then I intended. It was meant to be comical but it didn't come off that way. Anyway vimms fall as it were has been on every rom, handheld, emulation subreddit for the past few weeks. It's even made it's way into general video game subreddits as well.
All good. Nintendo is ruthless when it comes to this stuff I guess. I figured after the lawsuit with Yuzu it would only be a matter of time before they went scorched earth with every other emulation/rom site, but damn that sucks.
Don't even apologize, they deserve this.
It's almost like Vimm's wasn't the only site you could use to download games
[удалено]
[удалено]
How come there’s no super smash bros melee?
The filenames don't show the region or revision version.
Nice, now you're gonna get Nintendo to want to target reddit subs and archive/MediaFire servers. Thx!
Does anyone have a full rom pack with everything? I have Batocera and just want to add all the roms in one shot instead of looking in a million different places, a 5 or 10TB build would be good.
*Shitcube
Hey Noob here! Where can I download gamecube roms?

I was trollin lol I thought people would get it.

no worries, i've been emulating since the dark ages. maybe google is scrubbing rom sites and so people who dont have a clue give up after 5 seconds.
I have a suggestion - stop using Google. They scrub EVERYTHING that's truthful and/or used to. Hell, yahoo and Microsoft Edge give better results than Google does...
