Bruh, I could've told you that without needing a big study
I see what it's trying to do, but unless the end result is free access to rom or a universal site that sells roms as is and everyone is strong armed into participating whether they like it or not, then it's entirely pointless

@coolboymew i wonder, if we preserve games that are abandonware... EXCEPT for nintendo games, we could erase nintendo from cultural history, since they won't be able to download their own roms they failed to preserve for rereleases
@coolboymew why, you think they actually preserve their own shit?
@hj @coolboymew didn’t SM64’s source code get leaked in a hack? So they keep stat stuff archived at least

@coolboymew @VD15 @hj N64 and GBA stuff were on iQue's servers, IIRC. I don't think there were full source code leaks. Only partial leaks. The fact that SM64's source code was decompiled prior probably helped putting that stuff in game.
@xianc78 @VD15 @hj Nope, I believe we got nearly the entire not-SVN repo of Pokémon games
