This is a really sad day in what has been a rough year for emulation. RHDN has been an invaluable resource over the years, and I hope another site can step up to be a repository for translations and ROM hacks in the future.

Sounds like there was some awful drama. I loathe when well-intentioned people are exploited. -
It's a real shame, but at least there will be a way to save all the content that people contributed to the site.
It looks like https://romhacks.org/ (RHDO) has popped up fairly recently and might supersede RHDN.
There is a forum post on that site from the creator ensuring everyone that his intention wasn't to gobble up RHDN's content, and there's a reply from a fellow mod further in the comments where he links to a video that seems to explore a different side of the story that he seems to imply summarizes the course of events well enough.Last edited by Selbaek; 08-07-2024, 11:52 AM.

I blame Nintendo. All console manufacturers are responsible for this, but Nintendo is the most intense on litigating anything involving games on their old hardware, especially first-party games. Games preservation needs to be more respected, but as long as manufacturers can still figure out how to penny pinch for a small amount of 10+ year old games, we're all going to suffer.Comment
