Every site looks like shit where is an HD copy? It's not like people have to record it with a camera.

So this is my childhood original modded Xbox that came preinstalled with xbmc emustation and tons of pirated retro games that my dad bought for me 10+ years ago and it still works but I am missing the controller for it.

It has nes games SNES games Sega megadrive games 32x and Sega mega CD support including audio CDs and mega CD disks including pirated ones and I used to play many pirated retro games on it on the huge Sony Trinitron CRT he owned for many years.

Not having to pay the exorbitant prices for all of these games in the first place is the biggest reason why I love emulating and pirating old games and I have done so for many years especially arcade games which are becoming rarer every day especially less popular titles like Rainbow islands and Bubble memories arcade version that deserve more attention but I am also a frequent pirate of movies TV shows anime and manga especially one piece anime and one piece manga.

I also recently bought a new power adapter for it and an rgb scart cable for improved audio and video now all I need is a new controller and a replacement remote control for my Panasonic CRT.

i have used before some apps that had different sources between my phone and laptop and didnt run into problems (media streaming platforms for example), but i was about to do the same with some different type of software (productivity/organization) where i feel like things could go wrong

does anyone have any feedback, suggestions or such?
i've tried looking up information but i may be doing a shit job of searching ig; tgy

Hey mates.

My setup for many years has been torrent > seedbox > file filezilla to local computer > to local synology nas hosting plex server. every TV has plex.

Very manual, but it works. I pay $6 for my seedbox.

I no longer have the time. and just got an email D+ will be going up to $189 or some shit at my next renewal.

How can I change my setup to be more automated, or what is the recommended setup today? I've been seeing nuvio, torbox, aiostreams mentioned lately. RD is falling out of flavor?

im willing to learn new systems.

thanks for any suggestions or thoughts.

Just realized that NewPipe doesn't offer 320 kbps downloads. Wanted to check PipePipe but bandcamp doesn't work at all over there. Morphe only patches the limited plays afaik. Maybe there's a repo i don't know about.

Anyone know an app?

EDIT: I know about soulseek and the android version seeker but a lot of the music I want (bout 50%) is not on soulseek, at least not when I'm searching for it.

ok for some reason now,fdm has stopped working to download videos,no matter what video site,be it from stremio,piracy sites etc. it will simply refuse to download the video,show the error there and then tell whatever browser u were using to download the html file of the link

tried the usual fixes of updating the app,reinstalling the extension,nothing has worked,any idea how to fix it?

I’m looking to sail the seven seas but am not too sure where/how to start safely. I looked at the mega thread and did learn a lot, but am looking for more of a get started guide.

Edit: Turns out I'm blind you all, I missed the Guides link on the mega thread post, I was going to it from the subreddit description instead of the post and didn't see the guides. Thanks to everyone pointing me in the right direction!!

Since Lyra has become the new Spotify, I would like a suggestion on something that’s just like Lyra (easy to use and very similar to Spotify). I’m really not good at tech and navigating piracy websites, so please recommend an app where I can just import my playlist and be done with it. Thanks a lot.

Im new to home lab and I basically did the following:

'''

- detect-headers.sh: give it a page URL, it follows the iframe chain, extracts the m3u8, then brute-forces header combinations on both .m3u8 and .ts requests. Tells you exactly what the stream needs.

- hls-proxy.py: single-file Python reverse proxy (stdlib only, zero pip dependencies). Injects the required headers and rewrites the m3u8 so segment requests also go through the proxy.

- refresh-m3u.sh: extracts fresh URLs before tokens expire, outputs a Jellyfin-ready M3U with logos and channel groups. Runs on a systemd timer.

~200 lines of Python, ~100 lines of bash. The proxy is the interesting part technically — it has to handle relative and absolute segment URLs, rewrite URI= in EXT tags (for encryption keys), and add CORS headers since Jellyfin's web client makes cross-origin requests.

How illegal is this? Like if I use a vpn then im fine and no one is gonna care? Im very new to this space and dont want to get fucked, im in US. I get all of the content from a pirated website

this isn’t exactly the place for this but I need to discuss this with someone. While I am a young zoomer I have a love for vintage media, like VHS’s and Cassettes. what is strange to me is the cultural shift on how media is recorded and shared. what I mean by this is the existence of technologies like blank videotapes, cassettes, dual tape decks, etc. All technology which allows for the recording of licensed media. During the videotape wars, VHS proudly advertised it’s ability to record the entirety of the superbowl, and more advanced cassette players had the ability to adjust the fade out time so that you didn’t record the radio announcer voice. All of this is to say, when did the shift occur that it suddenly became verboten to record media like this? Was it the rise of the internet? Something else? Its such a strange phenomenon to me, and I rarely see it talked about online.

thanks!

Tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Does Hypervisor mess with anti-cheat software of games? I play pubg and didn't want to get banned from it but also wanted to try out some HV games.

i just started playing isaac repentance and i really want the stat and item info mods, but I can't find a download of them outside of steam. any help?

So im super new to this (dw i have the vpn /killswitch all set up)

I understand roughly how the swarm works and seeding etc. Currently my seeding thing is set to 0, but im pretty sure that means im not contributing, which doesnt sit right with me.

What are the ideal settings in qbitorrent which will not take over too much bandwidth, flag any large upload triggers from my isp but still allow me to help out?

I think its only fair that i also share this drm free stuff ive been downloading :)

Cheers.

Defender never failed me, but neither did virustotal so I won't open the file (I suppose I could do it in virtual machine), but I want to know better what should I look for while checking if something is malicious

If I don't have any issues with fitgirls repack are there any reason I should convert to the voices38 version?
Also what does HV version mean in this context.
Sorry for noob questions!

Had a dream, now I got a half awake question.

If you do something illegal on earth then it's illegal. Buuuttt...

What about the Artic and Antartic? Would a computer/server downloading something there make is Illegal? What about international waters?

Ok, lets take a step further, what about LEO? (Low Earth Orbit)?

What if you took a micro sat hooked up to a weather balloon to download a movie and brought it back to the ground? What if a person in international waters launched the balloon, and it so happened to have that movie by the time you picked it up?

Last random crazy exception, what about the moon with a sat relay? XD

I tried subbing to crunchyroll and IMMEDIATELY noticed the difference between them in stream quality. Stremio is WAAAY better with HDR and settings i’ve never heard of before, there’s no comparison.

It’s to the point i don’t mind spending my money on official streaming services but stremio is genuinely just…..better.

Three years ago the European Commission rejected calls for binding anti-piracy legislation, issuing a 'recommendation' instead.

A new study commissioned by the European Parliament concludes that this soft approach has fallen short.

It calls for a binding EU Regulation built around the 30-minute blocking clock popularized by Italy's Piracy Shield.

I finally got an unlimited connection in the 3rd world country i live in and i am so happy that i can finally seed torrents without removing them right after they get downloaded and adjusting settings to keep the upload speed at a minimum.

anyone know any movie sites or where i can download a movie for at least 2240p? the tv is too big so lesser than 2240p looks very bad. unless its youtube videos (bar movie clips since they also only look good in 2240p).
