I find it crazy that they even went after Vimm, Nintendo really going rabid regarding ROM sites. Vimm's site is around as long as i have been into emulation (i think), i too would be sad to see it completely gone, even if i haven't used it in years.

It's because emulation is getting more streamlined and easier for people who are not computer savvy. Retroarch is out on ios and in the Steam store now and there are a ton of guides to get started with it on Youtube. Your average tech user in 2024 is not going to go to a website, download a program and click past the scary warning screen to install it. The app stores make the process friendlier for those who are not tech savvy. The crackdown on Vimm's lair coincides with Apple allowing emulators on iPhones and stuff.

Yeah that tracks, I think iOS recently got Delta(?) emulator which led to a load of loweffort TikTok/YouTube short slop being churned out to show people how to get their nostalgia fix without paying.

Heh. That spread like wildfire in my highschool back when it was GBA4iOS because someone searched up "How to play Pokemon on iPad" on youtube (this was before Pokemon GO and when CoolROM was still around)
It was nice playing handheld Nintendo on school hardware but the touch controls were very temperamental. I think that this was before Apple lightened up on their weird controller standard that nobody wanted to adhere to.

Does anyone know of an alternative to real-debrid? It needs to be supported by jDownloader and work with rapidgator (because this combo is giving me nothing but trouble) and ideally as many hosting services as possible. I already have real-debrid which is up for renewal and want to see what alternatives there are.
 
I've been lurking around CS.RIN.RU as of late and keep hearing talk of a bunch of different launchers. Koaloader, Cream-API, GreenLuma seem to be the big ones. They seem kind of shady but also somewhat useful? I don't want to risk any malware garbage and this thread has absolutely nothing on the topic, so does anyone know if these are "safe"? Free of malware, not likely to get your account banned, etc. I'd use virustotal, but it keeps giving me a 403.

Alldebrid.com is amazing and very cheap. Used them since 2017 with Rapidgator and still works on my end.

CreamAPI and Koaloader are what I use to give me DLCs for free

They're fine, just a few things to keep in mind:
The primary means that these programs work is via DLL injection, normally a malware thing. AV programs will give false positives on stuff like CreamAPI or Koalageddon because they use it. Add any replaced DLLs or their directories to your exceptions. Might still not prevent Windows Defender getting upset, but better than them breaking your shit by quarantining something automatically. Stuff like CreamInstaller can help but you're better off figuring out how to add appids to the proper text files and whatnot yourself.

Koalageddon in particular got flagged by Steam on recent versions, which may prove unsafe. To use it, you need to downgrade your Steam version. This breaks web browsing on Steam from what I can tell (just browse it on your web browser).

Lurk the Russian forum for each game you want to do this for. Sometimes, a game won't come with the DLC files and you'll have to add them (Civ6 comes to mind). Sometimes CreamAPI just doesn't work and you need another solution like GreenLuma. Golden rule is read the fucking thread: the Russian forum is unfriendly to asking dumb questions, and it can get you banned. It's a time-money tradeoff -you aren't paying for it, so you have to put in the time to get this shit working.

My take is that you should really apply CreamAPI or something more individual rather than going for all-encompassing solutions which are prone to detection. Reverting to a regular copy of the game is as easy as verifying your game files. Glhf!

reinstalled my OS for unrelated reasons, and I am unable to seed the torrents. These are my settings, and I have my network interface set to my VPN. If they do seed, it is incredibly slow. Does anyone know what the issue could be? I'm using qBittorrent.

Could it simply be that there are seedboxes available for those torrents you're not seeing activity on? Torrent clients are usually intelligent enough to prefer a seed with sub-millisecond latency and gigabit bandwidth over one without.

I am not sure, I’ve never heard of a seed box. Regardless, it consistently says my upload speed is 0.

Yeah, that’s basically standard, especially if you’ve downloaded something popular.

The fact that downloading a program is seen as something foreign by zoomers is depressing smartphones killed tech.
