    Honestly , I didn’t even know about this site till today! So if enough donors hit the site to pick up at least $6K, will that site stay online? …cause I will definitely donate…no questions…just not all of $6K/month…that is crazy…

    Out of curiosity, what games take up so much space? I’m assuming modern ones.

    You can easily downloaded a torrent of all games before the CD era and it’ll fit nicely in a few TB.

    Does anyone know of a way I could download the entire English N64 library? I don’t remember there being a bulk download option on Myrient

      Look at their FAQ. If you’re on Linux wget on the folder works a treat.

        If you’re on windows, wget also works a treat. Mac too.
