It's ROMhacking Jim but not as we know it, as 20-year-old emulation site dumps all its files onto the Internet Archive and goes news only.

    Isn’t it a bit disingenuous to call it an emulation site? It’s not like they hosted ROMs or anything.

      Being an emulation website doesn’t mean it hosts roms.

        Yeah, but I believe a majority of these should run on actual hardware. I guess if there is emulation news? I only really look at the hacks

    I understand that this is a big loss for the emulation community, but as someone who did a bit of romhacking during COVID, I found their moderation to be terrible and arbitrary.
