Emuparadise will no longer offer ROM's or warez
M
Look likes Emuparaside website was SHUT DOWN all ROM's and warez because of pirates attack thanks to Nintendo. :( Here the information on this website!
EmuParadise is ChangingMany of you are aware that the situation with regards to emulation sites has been changing recently. What you probably don't know is that we at EmuParadise have been dealing with similar issues for all 18 years of our existence.From receiving threatening letters in the early days to our hosts suddenly shutting down our servers due to complaints, we've seen it all. We've always complied with takedown requests but as you can see, that is no guarantee of anything.I started EmuParadise 18 years ago because I never got to play many of these amazing retro games while growing up in India and I wanted other people to be able to experience them. Over the years, many folks have joined in and contributed to this vision and I think I can say that we've been successful in spreading our passion for retro games far and wide.Through the years I've worked tirelessly with the rest of the EmuParadise team to ensure that everyone could get their fix of retro gaming. We've received thousands of emails from people telling us how happy they've been to rediscover and even share their childhood with the next generations in their families. We've had emails from soldiers at war saying that the only way they got through their days was to be lost in the retrogames that they played from when they were children. We've got emails from brothers who have lost their siblings to cancer and were able to find solace in playing the games they once did as children. There are countless stories like these.It's been a long and beautiful journey with many ups and downs. When I started EmuParadise things could have gone either way. But right now the direction they are going in could not be more than clear.So where does that leave us?It's not worth it for us to risk potentially disastrous consequences. I cannot in good conscience risk the futures of our team members who have contributed to the site through the years. We run EmuParadise for the love of retro games and for you to be able to revisit those good times. Unfortunately, it's not possible right now to do so in a way that makes everyone happy and keeps us out of trouble.This is an extremely emotional decision for me after running this site for so many years. But I believe it is the right thing for us at this point of time.Thus, we have decided to make a new start. We will continue to be passionate retro gamers and will keep doing cool stuff around retro games. But you won't be able to get your games from here for now. Where we go with this is up to us and up to you.We'll still have our emulators database, the community, and everything that comes along with that.We have already made several plans of what is going to happen next. It's going to be a fun new beginning and there's going to be lots to come! We'd also love to hear from you in the comments about what you think we should do. But for now, we need to make this change. We've served the community for 18 glorious years and it's been a hell of a ride!But every end is a new beginning and we're excited to find a way forward to continue being your #1 emulation destination.Thank you for supporting us through this journey. We could not have done so much without you visiting us, telling your friends about us, uploading screenshots and descriptions, telling us when something was wrong, letting us know when we messed up, and more. Thank you for being a part of our community and encouraging us through all these years.

The End is so fucking nigh.
Those are the End times.
I do not even own this site and I can feel death approaching.
I dream of a gigantic serpent with the four letters, D, M, C and A, imprinted into it's forehead, relentlessly devouring our little black market.
We shall all return to the accursed level of Hell we all came from.
Back to not playing a game you love just because it isn't available in your region.
Back to not having an External Hard Drive, but shitloads and shitloads and shitloads of fragile-ass CDs and shitty cartridges, both of which if it breaks, you gotta get another one, paying the same price, essentially buying the exact same game twice, for yourself.
Back to being obliged to buy the newest console so you can have fun with your friends, because online multiplayer support for the previous one just ended.
Back to buying a game to discover that it has only one level, with the rest of the whole game being DLCs.
We must not resist, For we all know that we are criminals, The steel gavel shall be brought down upon us.
They needn't have any mercy, As we hadn't for them.

Visit Youtube website and type "emuparadise" and all videos was showed emuparadise was not longer support rom. I read someone comments on any video and some of them have some idea about posting ROM games on Russian or China websites.

this isn't a DMCA issue, this is nintendo bypassing the DMCA process.

the sad thing about this situation is that most old games cannot be purchased in any way ( well also some old consoles for them ) , basically those games can't be played anymore , and if luckily find a game/console for example on ebay or similar may be overpriced and/or not working at all....i where able to play some old games in the past only thanks to sites like this or emuparadise that got all games stored , now that emuparadise got every link shutted down and romulation have many games restricted , is impossible retrieve those games... like i said on earlier post , i think using an incensurabile site like the one i posted before or a private server , dmca maybe , should no longer be a problem and also romulation could maybe upload again those games that's are now restricted , at least is what i hope....sorry for my bad english guys
S
^The first post I've ever seen apologising for bad English that's actually written in bad english
R
yeah , since i'm italian i'm was using also google translate for some help on write all of that , sorry again to everyone , i know translators are not very good on translate things , hope is at least understandable...

Don't worry, it is.
I was talking about hypocritical grammar nazis who love pointing out every single mistake/typo people write, while they speak in broken english worse than uncle dolan.
And if you try to correct their mistakes or criticise them, they bring their wrath down upon you as if they're the creators of the english language.
Inversely, There are also posts written in absolute perfect english, apologising for bad english.

Nintendo decided to sue loveroms directly instead of issuing DMCA notices for their IP.

So basically, If we try that zeronet thing out, N's gonna sue us?

seems also other site decided to shutdown everything , don't know if because of an actual dmca , i'm afraid continuing this way we will lose all those old games forever , and this makes me very sad , yeah i know is illegal and all , but still for many the only way for play those old games was thanks to sites like this one , emuparadise or that other site , i'm was one of those guys , it's very sad
