Vimm’s Lair is a site dedicated to console videogame nostalgia.
And looks like Rockstar Games decided to take the ROM down. Wondering why only for PS2, why only San Andreas and why only NTSC. Because PAL, other platforms and other GTA games for PS2 are unaffected.
I didn’t know about this 10 minutes ago, but now I’m downloading it from a torrent.
Good job Rockstar, you fucking losers.
Side note, I’m impressed Vimm’s lair is still going strong. I remember using it to get SNES ROMs for ZSNES early 2000s.
Is it because that version of the game had the “hot coffee” code on the disc?
The fun part is – it is superior because it includes missions you can do in coop unlike it’s release on PC where they were cut. I don’t remember if it could play your own music tho.
This and cdromance were the 2 sites I thought were untouchable since google often didn’t return them. Nothing is sacred.
Last time I did check Cdromance, don’t have links to download anymore, I like that place because has many roms with patched QoL romhacks. Maybe now you need to have an account.
takedowns are automated these days, either through full automation or paying low cost labor in places like India to just do google searches. Rockstar isn’t “doing” anything here, aside from paying someone else to issue the takedowns. and the someone else doesn’t know enough or care enough to apply logic that would cause all the other versions to get taken down too.
