Teknoparrot fuck autocorrect

even if the site is closing it's good to at least have the lists of stuff that was on there so i know what's missing in other sets. idk what it has that doesn't exist anywhere else either but it seems they had the most up to date sets of most everything. hopefully something else crops up.

>>12422013
Yea I just wanted to know what a teknoparrot was or wtf the eggman thing was since I think Sonic when I see that.

are you literally too dense to go on google and look it up? in the other thread that got archived someone was talking about how big the ibm pc compatible set is and someone asked "what is that?". i was over here like "wtf". was that also you?

>>12422126
Those posters are third-world zoomers, Anon. Just report them for extremely low quality and save yourself the time and effort of interacting with them. They’re not our equals, just avoid them.

Other than ROMhax and fan translations, what made that site so special? I just use those sketchy sites at the top of Google that you have to do things like try a download link 2-3 times before it shows the right file instead of an exe. Sometimes they'll drive by download on you but just stop any download you didn't ask for. Checksums check out, only the game file in the zip? Good to go.

Deserved, 4cuck tattle-tale.

i don't understand this mentality of now furiously scrambling for something you seemingly could live well without a mere 3 days ago. if having a huge rom collection is so important to you then why didn't you get on it sooner?

>>12422314
>muh RAM prices
This is bullshit, they don't need a current-gen server using DDR5 or DDR4 RAM, there's plenty of older servers out there using DDR3 which is still dirt cheap. I know because I have one at home I just bought RAM for. 32GBs of DDR3 for $25. Runs current and up-to-date Linux just fine. Given they are just a file-serving website, they don't need high-end hardware anyways.
What's the real reason they are shutting down?

If Myrient didn't want zoomers to share their site, they shouldn't have advertised it on Reddit themselves:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/y446rl/introducing_myrient/

>>12422403
>advertised it
Why?

>>12422408
So people can upload their shit, I guess. I doubt that the owner was the one keeping everything updated.

>>12422381
90% of that is bloat, repeats, and BluRay empty space games.

~I have every 2004 home console and older
~All handheld consoles before switch
~Also a full set for Wii.
Pretty much just avoided BluRay consoles and xbox 360. and switch.

This all fit within 15tb. Because I downloaded "1 game 1 rom" type files, and sets where they didn't fuck around and give alternative or edited files. Like why do I need Sonic 2 in 87 variations?? All this from elsewhere and better than myrient lmao.

Is this grammatically incorrect? No.

>>12421962
So let's try to list all the stuff on there to see what's endangered

It's insane that this guy let $5000 leave his wallet monthly just to keep this up and never tried to scale the donations

>>12422480
The bad thing about 1g1r is that it doesn't have pirates, unlicensed, unreleased, homebrews or aftermarkets. But, yeah, nobody needs the 10 different versions of GBA Yu-Gi-Oh.

>>12422013
>it seems they had the most up to date sets of most everything.

Are his MAME sets so up to date that the friggen games are broken again as the tranny devs delight in pain?

>>12422517
I can't believe you just take his word for it. There's no way anyone pays that much, what a month, he said? Not even in an entire year should it cost anywhere near that.

For preservation and autists like me who like to see what changes between versions, like Resident Evil and its dualshock version
But I agree, a normal person wont ever need 10000 variations of the same game, not even complete console archives, just get what you like and want to play

Even the shadiest sites often have dozens of versions of a game. Picrel is just languages but other games have revisions and laguage versions. I even see weird romhacks and homebrews, particularly on one site that isn't picrel.
I don't think we're missing anything by having to, heaven forbid, use sites with pop-ups and scam link ads.
You shoulda seen watching streaming anime in pixelated 144p around '05, you'd get popups every single time you clicked anywhere on the page, but it's easy to just look at where the links go and not run or download anything. Never got a virus, and I have a sec+; I'd notice more-easily than most.

I guess that site has romhacks, homebrews, and fan translations too. They're out there, on many sites. I'm sure we all know torrenting exists as well.
I don't see why this one site is such a big deal.

Here's your (you). Good riddance.

Because it's easy to browse and easy to get what you want. No pics, no links to sections that you don't care, no distractions. Just enter the main page, click, click, clik, there, all the links you need in no time.

Both are double-negatives, both are grammatically correct. Get bent.

People used Myrient as a ROM site, but it was more than that: a preservation effort that functioned like a library, updated weekly, with no ads, no advertising, and a clean, easy-to-use interface.

But it’s grammatically incorrect. I pointed it out, and now you’ve moved the goalpost to:
>The suggestion that the other anon, possibly you, gave was also a double-negative
>Both are double-negatives

No, I wasn’t that Anon, and neither of them is grammatically correct.

>>12422765

What's the difference?

>>12422774
Guaranteed it was all of those scripts that contributed to the site's extreme costs, some normalfag downloading pokemon every so often isn't going to cost $6k a month, or else vimm's would've died ages ago. These scripts were paid too, they were actively making money off myrient

>>12422838
difference to what, retard? they're japanese releases. japan had the ntsc standard

>>12422846
There were tons of retards who were complaining after Myrient started throttling downloads. Which only happened after a huge amount of downloaded data from the same IP.

>>12422765
>>Nobody cares about NTSC-J

Despite downloading Batman Forever The Arcade Game from that website, it was missing a file and didn't run on MAME.

>>12422852
No idea what kind of industrial sized downloads they were doing, even having downloaded some 10 PS2 games a day wasn't ever enough to get my download speed capped there. I assume maybe everyone was downloading sets for their android handhelds, as these became popular recently

>>12422816
Both of those were me, no surprise. And no, they are not grammatically incorrect. There is nothing grammatically wrong about double-negatives. They may be poor form to some, but not grammatically incorrect.

>>12422857

Arcadeitalia's mame DB is your friend, it's slow as shit 24/7, but they're the most comprehensive resource on exactly what roms/bioses you need for every game and each exact mame version, they don't host the games of course, but useful to check your files with. In modern mame versions, it should already tell you what you're missing, just look that file name up in whatever directory you downloaded it from.

Everyone and their mother already has entire ROM sets for those systems.

So what other sites can we use for roms? I just got that Thor handheld and then this happens

>>12423112
Just Google [game name ROM] and go to one of the sites at the top of Google. This is how I've done it for 26 years. Just learn how the sites sometimes hide the real downloads and don't download anything that isn't the size of the game.
Or torrent, no doubt the place has been flooded with new entire console romsets in the last few days.

>>12422325
In all my years of downloading roms Myrient was the best sight to use. That said, you're right, this isn't the first time one of the biggest rom sites went down and it wont be the last. Still sucks though. Myrient will be missed.

This is just another FOMO with a rom site closing down, normie retards are probably mass downloading stuff just because they read about it on reddit.
You can find fullset of older consoles everywhere.
Sure, there's some PS1 ISOs that you probably won't find on spike's website that myriant has, but even so there's a billion rom websites on the internet.
The only media I like hoarding are vidya soundtracks and magazine/artbook scans, because some are really hard to find and you never know when the internet archive will get nuked.

>>12423112
There are none, sorry your thor is just a paperweight now.

>>12422517
I imagine they were worried about unwanted legal attention if they made too much noise about donations. They are hosting hundreds of terabytes of copyrighted material after all.

I'm surprised no richfag has stepped forth to save the site. There's gotta be some crypto-millionaire nerd out there who can front them a few hundred k. Who knows, maybe they're in talks with someone right now.
