What to do with !retropirates? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was made a moderator of [email protected] a while back, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. Direct links to newly dumped titles would be a violation of rule 3 (only reason I left the Grimace's Birthday post up is because the game was free in the first place so who cares). [email protected] exists, and it itself is already niche but more popular than [email protected]...

I'm not sure what to do with it that couldn't already be done in !piracy or [email protected]... Do y'all think there's a good place for it on here? What would be a good way to differentiate it from [email protected] and [email protected]?

When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

This echoes my thoughts... Even simple question/answer to help others get old games working, useful links to emulation resources for older platforms etc.

With steam deck popularity, a new wave of inexperienced folks wanting to try things is guaranteed.
