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.
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.
Side note, I’m impressed Vimm’s lair is still going strong. I remember using it to get SNES ROMs for ZSNES early 2000s.
I didn’t know about this 10 minutes ago, but now I’m downloading it from a torrent.
Good job Rockstar, you fucking losers.
Still on archive.org so I’m not worried but I still hate to see stuff like this happen because of the precedent that it sets.
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.
