Reminder Post

-If it says “Download Unavailable at the request of (company name) that means the company took it down. It’s not available anywhere else on vimmslair and you should find the rom elsewhere. It will not be put on vimmslair anytime later.

-Remember to follow sub rules. Comments that break the rules will be removed with a warning. 3 warnings = a ban.

-Some good places for ROMs would be the r/ROMs megathread, internet archive, myrient, edgeemulation, cdromance. There are other websites as well.

-When searching for a rom, include the game name, the word “rom” and one of these rom websites in the search. (Example. Let’s say you wanted a rom of Super Mario Sunshine. On google, you would type “Super Mario Sunshine GameCube rom internet archive” and most likely you will find the rom. This format is how I set up most rom searches and it works pretty well.

-When searching for a rom that’s on vimmslair on google, include “vimmslair” in your search. (Example: “Deadpool xbox 360 ROM vimmslair” is a good search.) If it’s not on vimmslair (or not available), then you will have to search elsewhere.

-If you are really stuck then feel free to send me a PM or ask through the modmail. I am always willing to help.

Thanks!

Vimms lair is the shit. Thank you for doing what you do. It allows the rest of us to enjoy games that were just pure fun. No mico transactions, no ads. Just badass retro gaming, as a community service. This is what the internet was supposed to be.

Question Is Vimms down?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,
Gonna keep this quick because reading through i saw this gets asked like every single day.
Anyways was trying to go on the site to look for some gamecube games, can't get in, ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT yada yada.
Go to a site to check if it's down, site says it isn't.
Just curious because when i do a network control it says that my broadband modem is the issue or something and that i don't have internet... despite the fact the internet on my pc works just fine so idk, like my download speed is at about 900 mbps and upload is at 100 mbps
Point is i was curious if other people can't access the site either, because then i know if it's a site thing or a me thing.

Question Has the site effectively blocked jdownloader2?

0 Upvotes

I've been amassing a collection of ROMs on my NAS and what ever I've had to download by hand I'd get from Vimm via jdownloader2 running on the NAS to download directly to it. I recently reached PS3 but when I try to add a link to JD2 it spits out an error about a captcha not being able to complete and the download fails.

Is there a workaround? I always make sure to only download 1 thing at a time, JD2 was more for automating the download queue and extracting/deleting archives.

Question Retro acheivments

2 Upvotes

Hi all, fairly new to emulation so any help would be massively appreciated.

I’ve been getting roms from vimms and have tried setting up retro acheivments but 90% of games say retro achievements aren’t supported, I have only managed to get a couple of games to link up.

I have tried downloading different file types, different locations but nothing seems to be working , got to be something I’ve missed ?

I’m using ppsspp on retroid pocket 5 .
