Is there a full set of title keys anywhere? I can only find a small set out of all the titles in the eShop.

I was referring to the Nicotine+ chat being ruined. I’m already on Beehaw, though it’s not really about piracy-related stuff. It’s nice though.

I’m not sure how much I’d even use Nicotine+, it doesn’t have a lot of what I’m looking for. Just music. I tend to look for retro game stuff. I have all the No-Intro sets for older systems so I don’t need stuff that’s in those (except the private entries). It’s hard to find stuff that isn’t just in any No-Intro, GoodTools, or TOSEC set, unfortunately. I might use it to share stuff. Maybe eMule as well? I don’t know. shrug

That’s true. sigh It’s just rather frustrating that it only takes a few to ruin things for so many…

My problem with Soulseek is that it only really has music. That’s it. I’m more interested in stuff for retro game systems. Not just the stuff that’s listed in No-Intro or some GoodSet, you can find those anywhere. I’m trying to find a site that has stuff that isn’t just the same sets you see everywhere. But I can’t find one.

Why don’t the majority talk over the dickwads if they outnumber them? Why does it only take a few to mess everything up?

True, though I’m a bit worried about seeding requirements, and making sure my ISP and college don’t complain.

There’s also the matter of “how the heck do I figure out if a keygen or crack or whatever is a virus if a lot of antivirus software just screams at it for being a keygen or crack without checking it for malware nowadays?”

For me I’m just trying to find information on how to safely download games and figure out what is and isn’t a virus and how to avoid getting hit with scary letters from my ISP. I know for the latter I can use Mullvad or something, but I don’t know what kind of antivirus to use. Apparently a lot of them see a crack and go off about that rather than checking further to see if it’s actually malicious. This mainly applies to newer games that run with exe files or other executables.

I’ve also been trying to find good sites that have games for retro systems like the NES, Genesis, and DS (yes, I’m counting the DS as retro for the purpose of this post) that aren’t just easy to find in any No-Intro, Redump, or MAME database. You can find No-Intro stuff pretty much anywhere, at least for most of the sets. Same with Redump to a lesser extent. MAME/MESS is a bit harder, but not impossible. But trying to find anything that isn’t in those is incredibly difficult. FC Gallery is alright for NES/Famicom stuff, though other than that, I’ve got nothing.

I see.

Are you sure that won’t also get a bunch of false positives because it detects that a file is a keygen or crack?

And what about other stuff?

So how do you check for viruses without a bunch of false positives?

So how do you tell if a keygen is a virus or if it’s just being detected as a keygen?

Does Usenet work over college wi-fi? I’m not sure how that would work.

A lot of VPNs nowadays don’t even have port forwarding and such though, including Mullvad as of recently. Not to mention how many of them end up being compromised relatively easily.

Sounds quite messy. I… Am not smart enough to do that stuff, unfortunately.

I see… Alright then. I’ll go take care of that.

I should probably take down the ROMs I uploaded, then?

I used Soulseek for a while, though I eventually stopped because there wasn’t anything interesting there for me. Just music. Music is cool, but I’m mainly looking for ROMs, and not just the stuff anyone can find in any No-Intro set within five seconds of googling.

What are new people who actually aren’t cops supposed to do?
