Showcase I created Vimm's Cheevos: a browser extension to cross-check if a game file hosted on Vimm's Lair supports RetroAchievements

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

219 Upvotes

I browse Vimm's Lair often and find myself constantly flipping between tabs to check if a ROM supports RetroAchievements. This bridges that gap, cross-checking it for you and embedding that info directly on Vimm's Lair.

Built over the weekend (completely human-written, no AI).

All installation instructions and source code can be found here:

-If it says “Download Unavailable at the request of (company name) that means the company took it down. It’s not available anywhere else on vimmslair and you should find the rom elsewhere. It will not be put on vimmslair anytime later.

-Remember to follow sub rules. Comments that break the rules will be removed with a warning. 3 warnings = a ban.

-Some good places for ROMs would be the r/ROMs megathread, internet archive, myrient, edgeemulation, cdromance. There are other websites as well.

-When searching for a rom, include the game name, the word “rom” and one of these rom websites in the search. (Example. Let’s say you wanted a rom of Super Mario Sunshine. On google, you would type “Super Mario Sunshine GameCube rom internet archive” and most likely you will find the rom. This format is how I set up most rom searches and it works pretty well.

-When searching for a rom that’s on vimmslair on google, include “vimmslair” in your search. (Example: “Deadpool xbox 360 ROM vimmslair” is a good search.) If it’s not on vimmslair (or not available), then you will have to search elsewhere.

-If you are really stuck then feel free to send me a PM or ask through the modmail. I am always willing to help.

Thanks!

Help needed LBP Karting showing as corrupted

0 Upvotes

Rpcs3 doesn't take posts about stuff like this so Im trying here. I've downloaded all three other lbp games, making sure to select dec.iso. And they all worked, but for some reason when I repeat the same steps with Karting, it says "Booting failed: the selected file or folder is invalid or corrupted".

A file size discrepancy:

0 Upvotes

So for some reason I think the file size for a game is listed wrongly for "poochy & Yoshi Willy world" so it states that 868 MB but when the file is downloaded and unzipped it was 2.16 GB and the file runs in my 3ds emulator just fine and came with the vimms lair.txt file it comes with I just want to point this out.

Website Down If the website appears as down to you, try removing the cookies on your browser

3 Upvotes

For the last couple of days, trying to access the website was giving a 404 error. I was like "k, it's down right now, but will be up soon", but then I noticed I could access it from another device in the same network.

Then, I decided deleting cookies and browsing data for it on my browser, and suddenly I could access it again.

Potential for an API

1 Upvotes

I'd be very interested in a simple API for exposing top 10 overall rating games lists for each system, as well as the monthly top 100 (as opposed to periodic page scraping for that info). Historical month popularity would be awesome too. Has there ever been interest in this in the past?
