I couldn't find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here https://archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can't really be, it's only 29 years old.

That must be pirated, or not?

It's pretty easy to come across ©️🏴‍☠️, even roms and full games in some cases

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 year ago

"In some cases"

Entire romsets for basically every console.

Yes and no. My daughter was trying to find Wii games with very little luck. Fortunately I have a bunch tucked away.

Vimm.net has a huge archive of ROMs and I can see Wii counted among them.

Warms my heart to see that site still relevant after probably twenty years.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I didn't want to say much to draw attention to it, but it does have the best Wii game ever (even though it doesn't list it in the top 10, which is criminal).

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

the best Wii game ever

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

This is from /r/roms

https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/nintendo/

Has links to Nintendo games there and also shows archive.org source for them too.

Pretty cool. I was looking up nes games recently, turns out there are still people making games for the platform, open source and on GitHub!

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a wiki of the high seas that may help find a certain archive.

Where the db is, I have zer0 clue.

You’re allowed to say the naughty thing out loud here. And since I have no clue what your comment is referring to, that would be helpful in fact. (Googling “db zer0” got me music-related stuff.)

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he is referring to my home instance - lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Oh shit, I didn't see what comm we're in.

Piracy Wiki/megathread. There's an archive in the Roms section that you can find Wii .isos on. Every one I've tried has been clean.

[–] cuchilloc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you still having a hard time locating a specific one? Let us know!

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No it's all very, very good :)

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I get my mame ROMS (and most others too) from them. I’ve also found movies and some other content. Their torrents max my line (1 Gbps).
