  I think publishers were involved but those services are the lowest priority so I wouldn’t look into it that much.

  I’m shocked, but not surprised… if that makes sense. Just checked a few of the common sources and they have no more Roms to download. Besides one source so far. I’m so glad to gone through all the trouble and local achievement the last couple of years. Now its the time to do your local backups on USB hard drives, as you don’t know what will happen next.

      It’ll be okay. I remember panicking years ago when they attacked other ROM sites. The games will go back up. Maybe in another location, but they always go back up. They cut off one head and another two grow back

    There was some Nintendo, Sega, etc. “backups” available.

      Last time I checked, those had been made inaccessible before the recent hacking attacks.

        They were accessible for logged in users at least a week before the hack.
