I'm assuming lots of AI is involved?

You have to search on yandex other engines is not good for piracy.

Where can these games be found nowadays? Asking for a friend

I first played it on UltraHLE back in the day, and after getting to the very end of the game, the gates that let you get down the tower bugged out and wouldn't open. Everything had worked great up to that point. Fortunately I was able to find a cheat that let me get past them and finish the game anyhow.

I'll keep it in mind, but probably rely on free options like OK, Youtube & "deep cut" P2P options that I hope the copyright brigade won't go after, like ed2k & Soulseek (I've seen films & TV shows on there, not just audio). (Presuming they'll focus on the biggies like Bittorrent & illicit streaming).

Thank you for this. I appreciate you taking the time

Oh that’s true, didn’t think about that they’re the same chip architecture. I don’t like gaming on a Mac either. Can’t wait for Ashli Linux to support the M4 Max.

WTF

That was fast.

I heard that’s a good game

That is understandable… One could use it for pirating stuff that is actually difficult to acquire legally. Like sports events in foreign countries or games not sold (anymore) in your country. And in general it's just nice to have a good VPN. Movies and the likes are just a bonus…

A possibility, but I've never paid to sail the high seas. It feels... wrong :D Feels like if I am going to spend money to watch stuff, then I should spend it on legit sources.

It will probably be smoothly running natively on Mac before anything else since Switch 2 is also arm. Take a look at NXNative.

I’ve not tried it because I don’t like gaming on my MacBook.

I liked playing the original on emulators. The tick rate was tied to the fps, so when you cranked it up, the entire game ran super fast. Great for walking across Hyrule Field.

This is turning out to be a good day. Thanks fr 🩷🩵🤍

Paging @akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone

Glad I could help at least somewhat. Hopefully someone else could make some more appropriate recommendations regarding Spanish sources or anything else that could help.

Good luck!

aside from stuff like annas archive / libgen

in the past, i had ok luck using dht search sites like bt4g (org) but it was very hit and even more miss in terms of whether the torrent/magnet still had seeds. but that approach did have some collections like what you mentioned. and i did used to get the occasional valid collection mixed in among the dead torrents and other bs.

i havent really done it that way in a long time so not sure how well it works these days tho... like I searched a couple things similar to what you had in the OP and did get some small number of results (less than 1 page). some of those appeared valid but watch out cuz there were also some obvious malware ones that were like <title>.exe. Probably not the best way to do things for 2026+ ... and if you try it anyway, i highly recommend an adblocker, an up-to-date torrent client like qbittorrent, and maybe run a antivirus scan on the download when it gets done just to be safe.

could also check https://fmhy.net/reading but i suspect most of those are also going to be geared more towards individual books than collections. Only other things I can think of are usenet/debrid but I don't have experience w either so I couldn't say definitively.

If you do manage to find a good modern way to get collections, I'd also be interested to hear it.

Right. Thanks for the headsup! I've never "dabbled" in executables/roms/software piracy before, so I never really worried about malware in that sense (while still keeping a fair cyber hygiene). Maybe it's time to setup a virtual machine in case I ever want to test run "shady stuff". Thanks again! 😁

I mean for the most part, you are right that collections aren't the norm there... but they do technically exist. if you @search collection there are some but yeah wouldn't be my first pick for epub/mobi collections either

It’s like any other open source project. Forks for different specific uses.

In your digging, I’d caution you to stay away from sites that offer switch 2 roms. No semi-credible site is sharing them, atm. There are a ton of people putting out malware, etc in the interim.

I'm very thankful for the rec, thanks for sharing. I found a lot of useful info on them and I found sone webtoons I wanted to read. I particularly went in-depth on FHMY and wotaku. Hoenestly my bigger problem or complaint is that most of the ones I want to read are not manga or popular english ones. A couple of the ones I really want to read are in spanish and I've noticed when it comes to Originals webtoons in particular only the very popular ones (or oldest ones) get on other sites. Still, huge thanks for the source, I'll def have reading material for weeks now.

Awesome! I don't know anything about emulators at the moment, so I don't quite understand the implications of "general emulator" versus "builds of different emulators, but I'll start reading up on the subject as soon as I'm done with another project! 😊

Thanks! 😁 I'll do my best. As soon as I finish the game I'm making an appreciation post towards the devs while spitting on the Nintendo corpses.

yeah, i hate reddit too... fuckers block me like 99% of the time when im on vpn and just wanting to view contents w/o logging in. And unfortunately even https://fmhy.net/reading links to the reddit version

here's some guides already on dbzer0 (the pics are dead or a lie but it should still work):

• Guide: The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC. With Pictures and everything! edit: there's no pics
• A guide on how to pirate e-books using IRC (had pics but they are dead now)

and if you hate reddit as much as I do, you can use alt front ends + the open-source redirector addon (linked to homepage but its on github and firefox/chrome addon sites too).

Some alt front end pages I had bookmarked:

• github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends
• sr.ht/~jamesponddotco/awesome-privacy-front-ends/

basically, what I do is find a list of the instances for whichever front-end (any of them should be fine. but to give example, from the sr.ht list, I picked redlib then went to their instances list and tried a couple and picked one that had decent load times for me then used it to fill in the following details for a redirect in the addon):

addon settings (replace redlib.catsarch.com with your preferred instance):

Description: reddit to catsarch.com (US redlib instance) redirect
Include Pattern:  ^https?://(?:\w+\.)?reddit.com/(.*)$
Pattern Type:  regular expression
Pattern Description:  keep the path from reddit but replace the domain
Redirect to:  https://redlib.catsarch.com/$1
Example URL:  https://www.reddit.com/r/books
Example result:  https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/books

note: if you actually login to reddit then my pattern might be too simplistic and could potentially break login when the rule is active... bc it would be trying to log you in on the frontend instead of reddit actual. i don't ever login there so never really tested it. but it works great if you just want to be able to read shit there without logging in

VPN?
