  Archived roms are not available, so there might be some truth in suspicions about publishers being involved…

    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.

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

  IA is understandably slow to load these days, but what worries me is the fact that I’ve been unable to search inside their books (very useful for writing and/or annotatimg Wikipedia articles!). I sure hope this feature can be fully restored…
