Honestly, this really bums me out...

They've always been the go-to when there was a game I was looking for. If you have any recommendations, I will gladly take them.

https://minerva-archive.org/ is working on archiving all the data from Myrient. Unfortunately their main page is down right now. But they have a client that volunteers are running to coordinate the archival efforts. Last I heard they already had >80% of all the content archived

    While their full set of data is 370TB, you can back up quite a bit without taking up too much space depending on what you want. The shit that really seems to eat drive space are the PS3 games and various gaming related bluray rips.

    I'd imagine the gaming related bluray rips (mostly special edition behind the scenes disks) are going to be hard to find when it goes down.

    I mainly used them to find unmodified games, especially useful for ROM hacks where I wasn't bright enough at the time to make backups.

    I only needed it every so often when I was looking for a niche game (Gregory Horrow Show, anybody? lol), so to know now that if I come across a game or ROM hack I'd like to try, my search will be just a bit harder.
