We had our separate financial issues recently, but the domain name is not a deal breaker. Only time can tell.

The Rentry page has been updated ever since the first public release back in 1st of February! And new logos have been introduced!

You can see more in SimpleX before official releases of content and discussions!

Includes links to Bsky and Mastodon accounts and this community in dbzer0!

Thanks for reading.

Another concept for a community image from Randall Escobar.

Indeed it is, but the compressed ROMs must work on emulators and reversible to other formats (. ISO from. CHD)

You are right, it's not a poster, more like a piece of paper left behind on top of a table or chair.

Again, this is "A side project with a limited budget".

Still thinking how to do en ELI5 that doesn't sound too silly, "vimms lair with torrents" is definetly one.

No need to start the repository, I may need to delete it to start fresh. Still working on the workflow to make it easy to deploy.

In other news, do not use patreon, see if kofi is better for your interests.

Hi, just stumbled on this community while searching.

I will be working on a demo in a few (or many) weeks, but would appreciate any help for designs and concept art for my mascots!

Community page (Signal group) https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/RetroTorrents

 

I have noticed only 12 people from Simplex have contacted me but most did not enter the Group chat from my invite. So I am testing signal for now. Again, no telegram.

I also wonder who made the page have 3000 views, no idea if it's spam or genuine interest.

The idea is that RetroTorrents allows downloads through torrents, while Vimm doesn't.

[–] EphraimEscobar 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, is there is a better platform perhaps?

[–] EphraimEscobar 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I just put a quick description in this post, I will add a "what" section when I can.

I am well pleased to inform a new concept for Emulation, ROM and Torrent enthusiasts, if you want to see behind the scenes, join our Simplex Group!

For all that have the same goal, shall unite as one.

(It sounds brilliant but) No, its a website like the pirate bay, nowhere finished atm...

RetroTorrents.net has magnet links

1 magnet = 1 Compressed ROM

Use a torrent client

Download compressed ROM

Play the game

Seed the torrent

No need to decompress a .7z or .zip file from vimm or myrient, the ROM file is already compressed and ready to play.

For context, it will be a website with magnet links to download compressed ROM files through a torrent client, like a .rvz ROM file for Wii and GameCube games in the dolphin emulator and so on.

For all that have the same goal, shall unite as one.

All thanks to Peter sunde and Njalla for the domain!

For those curious, here is an I2P guide from 2 years ago.

Although a computer is better, there might be great potential for smartphones to participate in the swarm. But there seems to be some complications.

https://gitlab.com/proninyaroslav/libretorrent/-/issues/2

Someone did make a torrent client for iOS 16+ devices named 'iTorrent' but there is no mention of I2P.

You have a point, but to be honest my only concern for this project would be hiding from the ESA.

[–] EphraimEscobar 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Can't tell you right now.

PHP can be old but it is still taught at schools, are there other languages I should use?

 

I found out JSON could work as a small local database, thinking of storing records of at least 1135 cars, televisions and handbags, while allowing downloads through magnet links.

I would like to see if there are projects that have already done this or if a standard database with SQL and PHP is better.

 

~~The idea is making deployment so simple even a 13 year old could republish the website in cloudflare or github pages.~~

I'll admit it, this wall text was very dumb!

Any other tactics are welcome

There are unofficial search plugins for qBitorrent here and they work well

https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins?tab=readme-ov-file

But I prefer using torrents-csv.com

I know they are not the original actors, but the acting and enviroment look really good in my opinion. It's a shame you can only play it on sweden, goodluck with that! https://www.svtplay.se/the-pirate-bay?kfx=BzwpyF9vC

Anyway, I here is a Base64 encoded link to a rentry.co page so you guys can watch both the 2013 documentary and the 2024 Series with english subtitles, regardless on the country or planet or species.

If anyone is willing to upload the subtitles to another cloud service as a mirror, let me know.
