From what I see in the archive link I posted, it only contains patches, not playable games, neither original nor patched. You need a copy of the game already to make any use of it.

Hi there.
I’m a bit cross about allowing or not to allow liking to the website archives.
For the time being, and while we discuss about it among the mods, I’d like to ask you to refrain from posting any link to said archive, I’ll restore to posts containing said links if we decide to allow that.
Thank you for your understanding.

That’s correct. The entire archive is only about 12GB; it couldn’t possibly contain the full games.

You don’t need to have the full game to be considered as piracy. Anything allowing to break a DRM could be considered as such.

I’ll take a look tomorrow. I’m UTC+2 (I just can’t sleep right now 😅), so I’m not yet in the required state of mind to go and check add of that.

Saying you’re cross usually means angry.

Oh, my bad 😂
I meant that I was hesitant.

Two Irish nuns were sitting in their car at a traffic light when a bunch of rowdy drunks pulled up alongside.
“Hey, show us your tits you bloody penguins!” shouted one of the drunks.
The Mother Superior turns to Sister Margaret and says “I don’t think they know who we are. Show them your cross!”
So Sister Margaret rolls down her window and shouts, “Sod off you little fucking wankers before I get out and rip your goddam balls off!”
Sister Margaret looks back at the Mother Superior and asks, “Was that cross enough?”.

If it’s a romhacking site, it wont have the actual ROMs, just the patches. It never would have survived 20 years if it had been hosting ROMs.

You got a good point here. I’ll take that into consideration.
