I am well pleased to inform a new concept for Emulation, ROM and Torrent enthusiasts, if you want to see behind the scenes, join our Simplex Group!

For context, it will be a website with magnet links to download compressed ROM files through a torrent client, like a .rvz ROM file for Wii and GameCube games in the dolphin emulator and so on.
For all that have the same goal, shall unite as one.
All thanks to Peter sunde and Njalla for the domain!
Pardon my ignorance, but how it this different from vimms?
The idea is that RetroTorrents allows downloads through torrents, while Vimm doesn’t.

I just put a quick description in this post, I will add a “what” section when I can.

It’s a torrent client with an integrated retroarch? I don’t get it.
(It sounds brilliant but) No, its a website like the pirate bay, nowhere finished atm…
RetroTorrents.net has magnet links
1 magnet = 1 Compressed ROM
Use a torrent client
Download compressed ROM
Play the game
Seed the torrent
No need to decompress a .7z or .zip file from vimm or myrient, the ROM file is already compressed and ready to play.
I am glad to see these getting moved to torrents finally. Not too long ago I heard a bunch of roms were getting removed from vimms.
Super proud to see that someone has the mentality to do this!
simplex chat only works with/on a mobile phone?
Yeah, is there is a better platform perhaps?
Stumbling over SimpleX again I found now that they do provide a desktop client. It’s just not very obvious on their website/room join with QR code page.
Shout out to Brokep, nice to see folks using Njalla.
