Re: Plans to maintain vault minus download links?
Posted by Danielle on .
Vimm is not the only archival project for retro games. The only way Vimm is able to ensure that ROMs uploaded to the site are accurate, or to ensure that a given vault is complete, is through comparison with databases compiled by other archival projects, notably Redump and No-Intro.
Just curious if the vault's contents are being maintained and/or distributed despite the removal of download links for many titles.
Obviously these titles being freely available is against the wishes of many publishers, but for preservation and posterity's sake I hope that the project's backend is still active, or even seeking other harbours.
Especially the localised and untranslated versions of titles were highly valued, and will be missed.
