Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation (www.gamesradar.com)

And this is why I sail the seven seas and have zero reservations about doing so.

Yep.

Toproms collection. If you can hold it, give us a hand.

I’m sitting on the RetroAchievements collection over here. It is my single most seeded torrent, by leaps and bounds. I went with RA, because it means I can throw any of them at RetroArch and the RetroAchievements integration will work without having to fiddle with game versions. It also has a surprising number of ROM hacks and homebrew.

Ay, elaborate a bit because I see a lot of unofficial RA collections and the official one on archive.org doesn't list a magnet or torrent file.

Are they seriously just hosting their most current archive in one place?
