I Don't Know" - Fan-Translation And ROM Hack Site CDRomance Gets Rebooted "When I stepped away, the atmosphere in the emulation community was pretty rough. It wasn’t a fun or safe place to be. It never really is."

Are there large groups of pitchwork-wielding, violent anti-emulation activists somewhere that I keep missing? What is this even referring to?

But as far as fantranslations and quick access to stuff for ODEs this site is a godsend.

I Don't Know" - Fan-Translation And ROM Hack Site CDRomance Gets Rebooted Well I don't know about you guys but personally I will never make an account with any website that's even within sniffing distance of the "dark side". I can definitely imagine what may have been going through this guy's mind. If it was just all about obtaining cool stuff and sharing it with his close friends then he could have just hosted a private file server and be done with it. But this is a person who dedicated years of their life to running a public website. Exposure is the goal, availability to the masses is the point. Yes the current landscape of civil threats and criminal enforcement is an absolute tragedy for everyone outside of the most mainstream gaming interests. But I guess hiding away scared just felt too much like conceding defeat for this guy. I applaud him and hope for the best.

I'm glad to see them back. Translation patches and ROM hacks are essential to making games never released in multiple languages accessible and keeping beloved old favorites fresh and exciting.

Exactly! Hence I'm surprised the desire to make it more public now. I had hoped the need to sign up and log in at least deterred casual search engine lawyers et al from finding it. I dunno. Maybe it did nothing at all in the grand scheme of things?

It's not like the IRC days of the original Xbox, where it was a PITA to get any emulators because they were coded using a stolen XDK.

I Don't Know" - Fan-Translation And ROM Hack Site CDRomance Gets Rebooted @Sketcz You're overselling how much of a "secret" it was.

It was never remotely difficult to find.

You just had to be willing to sign up.

I prefer it that way.

Let the surface level normies think it's gone, while the cognoscenti among us can seek it out.

Hope things go well with the rebooted operations.
