If it’s a romhacking site, it wont have the actual ROMs, just the patches. It never would have survived 20 years if it had been hosting ROMs.

Hi there.
I’m a bit cross about allowing or not to allow liking to the website archives.
For the time being, and while we discuss about it among the mods, I’d like to ask you to refrain from posting any link to said archive, I’ll restore to posts containing said links if we decide to allow that.
Thank you for your understanding.

From what I see in the archive link I posted, it only contains patches, not playable games, neither original nor patched. You need a copy of the game already to make any use of it.

That’s correct. The entire archive is only about 12GB; it couldn’t possibly contain the full games.

You don’t need to have the full game to be considered as piracy. Anything allowing to break a DRM could be considered as such.

I’ll take a look tomorrow. I’m UTC+2 (I just can’t sleep right now 😅), so I’m not yet in the required state of mind to go and check add of that.
