Mame.dk R.I.P.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

For those who did'nt know, mame.dk have shut up shop for good. They will still offer a database service and screenshots etc but all roms have been removed due to a threat from a copyright owner. Getting roms for new releases is going to be alot more tricky from now on :(

I have a suggest! Letīs build a site with roms of all of we! We can do that?

Interesting........

Took me around 1 minute to find more than 3 sites with all the roms..

Why don't u just use MIRC or news groups??

Oh yeah, don't send any begging E-mails! ;-)

GG - The thing is they are available now but on a release date those sites are going to be hit real bad and chances are they will go down in a short time. Mame.dk used to struggle and they had shit hot servers. I know newsgroups can be a good place to get them. I know of one address and you can correct me if I'm wrong but I think it is 'alt.binaries.emulators.misc' off the top of my head. IRC would be a very cool place to get hold of roms. Setting it up is the hard part, I wouldnt know where to start! :(

if u want all the roms just go on MIRC and visit #dc4free or #dc-zone (Think that's the one!) download the dreamcast verson of mame, think it's 57 files @ 19mb each, this will give u every single rom in one go!!!

Obviously, if you are on dial up forget it!

Later
