One of the best and most popular rom websites has finally closed down. Here is an extract from their notice of closure.
It is with great regret that we must announce the immediate closure of RomUlation. We’ve had a good streak in our opinion, almost a year of service where we managed to rise to being one of the most popular ROM sites, if not the most popular one. At our peak we served 35,000 people daily; pushing 241mbit/sec of data; on average we serve 25,000 people daily while pushing 80-120mbit/sec of data. This was not cheap to provide but then again, we were never in it for the money, but because we believe that the current system Nintendo use is flawed. What follows is a rant on this very topic, if you have no interest in this then I suggest you skip to the second headline where there will be some technical details for users who were premium members and about our future.
You can read the rest in full here, something I would recommend you do. The author, Seph, makes some interesting, and in my opinion, valid points about Nintendo and the gaming industry as a whole.
Hey! Do us a favour!

Such a pity that we have lost RomUlation.net it was one of the best places for all kinda of roms. The point system was pure genious.
Alas, as the site states, the internet has become a dangerous place.
Grave times these are.
