No. For a ROMs site, it is far, far more convenient for the user to get direct downloads. People always needing to seed etc is a bitch. Plus, I don't want to be arsed into learning how to use a torrent tracker. There are some people who are vehemently against torrents, and many people don't even have a torrent client. Yeah, I don't agree with them, but that shouldn't keep them from getting ROMs. No torrents. No disc images. Get over it. =P If you REALLY want a site or tracker to download disc images from, I encourage you to make one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Big ol' Edit: I've started the page! Lol wut? http://sonar.heranbago.com/ We still need more ROMs. I need to upload the Petite Chao Garden... I still need to add links to most of the games, as well as proper credits. And anyone who sees spelling errors should report them! Thanks much!
Alright, thanks. Take another look at the page too. I decided to identify ROMs by the full [file/release] name. Still need to do it for the BIOs.
Bump! Everyone go check it out! I've put some real work (ok, not much) into this and I like the simplistic page layout. http://sonar.heranbago.com/
Oh, this is some seriously nice shit. End-all-be-all Sonic ROM site indeed. All it needs is some possible sprucing up, aesthetically. Keep it up man, this rocks
Why not just have a handheld section? Why split the handhelds up at all? The site looks good for documenting all the roms, keep up the work. P.S. - Needs spiffy website design.
People are really pushing for spiffy web design rather than simplicity, huh? I'll get on that eventually then. And... Trighad. If I turned the "other handheld" section into just handheld", then would GG and Pico go under Sega or Handheld? If overlaps...
I wouldn't really know how to classify the Pico, but the Game Gear is a handheld and most people would associate it as a handheld. Sure they are Sega products, as they were intended, but the GG games are also on Nintendo consoles as well, like SADX's extras and in SMC+ (I think). I'm just giving ideas, you don't have to take them in at all. The site thing was kind of a small joke on my part, you don't have to do anything with the site.
SADX and SMC+ used emulators to run them , so I figure handheld is still an applicable category. A game being on an emulator on a different system doesn't make it FOR that system -- otherwise all Sonic games would be in the PC section. ;P
You don't seem to have Rika's S2 rev 00 dump. I'll upload it shortly. Edit: Just finished uploading it. It's in the Supa Clean directory, with a GoodGen-style name (but with added (d) tag denoting the dumper).
That's the GoodGen name of it. Cowering's wrong, of course, but it's not the first time he's let an error propagate this long.
http://sonar.heranbago.com/ update! We now have almost every rom dump on the site! So yes, all the arcade dumps are up now, in MAME form.
This is very nice. Although the link to 32X_S_BIOS.BIN actually links to 32X_G_BIOS.BIN, just though I'd point that out.
I have a hoarde of sonic ROMs. I'll upload them as my ISP has free uploads. You have no idea until I have uploaded them . EDIT: Uploading Sonic Advance 3 Beta Now...
Thanks LocalH and Billy, I'll fix those tonight. I'll also get Flicky and Sonic Advance 3's pre-release up.
