Key Points:

  • CDRomance has announced it will no longer be updated in the usual manner.
  • The website’s future is uncertain as Webmaster Spike asks for donations to keep it running ad-free.
  • Current updates are being hosted in the forum’s repository and require user login.
  • Romhacking.net, another notable ROM hack site, is set to close.

Why This Matters:

  • CDRomance has been a crucial resource for ROM enthusiasts and gamers seeking translations and hacks.
  • The recent lawsuits have driven significant changes in community sites.

Considering the uncertainty surrounding these sites, what do you think should be done to support this vital gaming community?

    For some time the site has been reluctant in posting Nintendo stuff. Their focus seems to be hacks from other consoles like Playstation. If that’s the case, I don’t know why the owner is no longer posting new content to the site.
