CDRomance got threatened by the ESA and Google and had to remove direct download links from their site
(hexbear.net)
CDRomance is a ROM site whose main specialty is offering pre-patched romhacks, fan translations, undubs, etc. and it's a great resource for such things for systems up to the PSP. I think they were deliberately trying to stick to retro systems to stay under the radar but predictably that didn't prevent the copyright ghouls from coming for them eventually.
The site had plenty of other downloads besides just prepatched ROMs, I'm shocked it went this long before it got shut down considering there were Gamecube and PS2 downloads on the site.
Fuck this, though, it was a good source for those consoles
Like I said, the files are still accessible even if there's an additional hoop you gotta jump through now. Also, you can apparently still download from emuparadise despite them getting the same treatment like 10 years ago. Let's hope they weather the storm
Yeah I still have a userscript that puts the download links back on emuparadise
