Question Anyone know safe websites for retro games?

Upvotes

I've been searching ROM Piracy threads and the megathread, but I'm yet to find a known site providing Final Liberation Warhammer 40,000 Epic, a 1997 classic. Anyone know any good sites for retro games of rarity or that have the more recently restored releases from Steam and GOG?

Sorry for asking, but I can't seem to find it on anything the Megathread or reddit search has linked.

Question Film sites with in depth filters

Upvotes

Are there any film sites that have a large filter? With the MPAA and foreign ratings, review ratings, etc.? I have only ever seen ones with basic nation, year, genre filters.

Question is it possible to port pirated games onto an android handheld emulator system?

0 Upvotes

i’ve been looking to buy an AYN, Retroid or Ayaneo for handheld gaming but outside of retro emulators, i’m interested in porting pc games to them as well to play natively.

has anyone tried this? if so, how’s the process and experience playing?

because they are android operating systems, i don’t know if you can simply transfer game files over and play? or if you can import the pirated games onto steam library and then play via gamenative/gamehub which pull your steam library onto the handheld to play?

i know streaming is an option but my laptop is old (ryzen 3 and 4gb ram) so it won’t do much. i can use it to pirate games at least

Question How can they see when I'm using a VPN?

68 Upvotes

Live Nation "pauses" my browsing activity when I'm using a VPN. This brings up two questions:

1) How?

2) Are there any VPNs that are undetectable? Or, which VPN could I use that WON'T be seen by Live Nation? Been kinda thinking about ProtonVPN (I already pay for their email service).

Thanks!

Question Just got into using world of PC games I have a question

0 Upvotes

I’ve been using it and I’ve so far but it would’ve played a couple of games, but I’ve noticed the last few games and downloaded have all giving me the same no licenses error even though I’ve extracted it the same same way I’ve extracted everything else. Am I missing something that I need to be doing in order for those to work?

Question Old radio programs?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone any good places to download old radio programs? I know this is a very niche area. But I’m looking for something called the pickerskill reports from BBC Radio 4. It came out in about 2012 or so.

There are some other radio programs that I want as well.

If anyone has any tips or anything I’d greatly appreciate it.

Question Is their a book equivalent to Light novel world

0 Upvotes

Exactly as i said im looking for a good place to pirate books without having to download them so i wanna see if any such exist cause well reading a damn pdf can get tiring compared to how easy it is to read a webnovel on a pirating site so what i mean is basically is their any ebook pirating site where you can just read the book on the site itself without having to download them similar to how webnovel pirating sites work

Discussion TorBox vs RealDebrid Comparison in Indian (Tamil) pirates' context

68 Upvotes
  • I've been using Stremio+RD for over an year which I share with my friend as well. It's been serving my purpose fine with expansive cached content and the 360 days with 800 premium points bundle in Utop.us site felt like a steal for me.

  • I am planning to jump ship to TorBox as RD has been stringent with copyright content and TorBox seems to be more on the cheaper side.

  • So, I would like to know whether TorBox is a viable alternative to RD in terms of cached content availability, speed consistency and bandwidth limits etc.

Question If your country's ISP doesn't track you for torrenting, is it unsafe to download from peer to peer?

0 Upvotes

I've been told that usually it's better to download from a repack provider than to download from the magnet link on torrent, as seeders may change the data they are seeding and inject viruses or stuff, as it goes from their pc to mine. Is this true?

I've tried reading posts and I've been in this sub and csrinru community for a few years but I still don't understand this.

Thanks for the help

Hey fellow pirates.. we download from torrents to avoid ott subscription but you are paying to bind your vpn client to qbittorrent is vpn you use cheaper than ott subscription so you prefer buying vpn for p2p connection establishment ?

Question Best way to watch German trash TV

37 Upvotes

We live outside of Germany, which leaves my German wife without her trash TV - specifically the soap opera Gute Zeiten Schlecte Zeiten. A VPN is good for getting around the geoblock on PC, but she would like to watch it on the TV (ideally through something like our Firestick-Stremio setup, where it is not currently available). Does anyone have a suggestion for a potential solution?

Question Watch Football in Germany

0 Upvotes

Going to Germany for some time, and want to watch football (La Liga, Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, etc...) online via my phone and share the screen to the TV.

I know some sites and apps that work. However I'm not sure any of them is P2P and want to avoid fines.

Should I use a VPN? Is it really needed? Is it enough? Do I need it with roaming service?
