CDRomance is a ROM site whose main specialty is offering pre-patched romhacks, fan translations, undubs, etc. and it's a great resource for such things for systems up to the PSP. I think they were deliberately trying to stick to retro systems to stay under the radar but predictably that didn't prevent the copyright ghouls from coming for them eventually.

Also, fuck the translators who complain about CDR because it spreads pre-patched ROMs. They say either #1 somehow the pre-patched ROMs being available makes the translators more likely to get sued by the game companies, which I fucking doubt or #2 that users using older versions of the patched game are eating up their resources and time complaining about stuff fixed in future patches, which might happen but I can't imagine it being that common for someone to look up a translation's githunb/ROMhacking.net page but not note the version number at all and CDR is really good about keeping patches up-to-date.
