Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help?

Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be removed soon with ios emulation and retro handhelds bringing so much attention to roms and these sites

    They run the site for free and there’s basically no adds. You expect them to afford capabilities for 100s of people doing 30-40 rom downloads at once?

      well considering the circumstances of having Nintendo going after them, I just think it would make sense to get all the help they can to dump and archive files to help keep the games preserved
