The idea is that RetroTorrents allows downloads through torrents, while Vimm doesn't.
It's a torrent client with an integrated retroarch? I don't get it.
(It sounds brilliant but) No, its a website like the pirate bay, nowhere finished atm...
RetroTorrents.net has magnet links
1 magnet = 1 Compressed ROM
Use a torrent client
Download compressed ROM
Play the game
Seed the torrent
No need to decompress a .7z or .zip file from vimm or myrient, the ROM file is already compressed and ready to play.
I am glad to see these getting moved to torrents finally. Not too long ago I heard a bunch of roms were getting removed from vimms.
Super proud to see that someone has the mentality to do this!
simplex chat only works with/on a mobile phone?
Yeah, is there is a better platform perhaps?
Stumbling over SimpleX again I found now that they do provide a desktop client. It's just not very obvious on their website/room join with QR code page.
Matrix (not Matrix.org please)
Shout out to Brokep, nice to see folks using Njalla.
