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!

https://rentry.co/retrotorrents#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!

      (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.
