DarkwinDuck, w What's the best way to get German content?

mygully dot com. You need to log in but it has a lot of stuff. Not via torrent usually tough.

From their FAQ:

Pre-installed means that the game is already installed for you, so you don’t have to. This means all you need to do is download the .zip file, extract it, and run the game. That’s it! Easy, right?

squaresinger,

So they just call it pre-installed because they zip it? Oh well…

Nerd02,

Nah they call it pre-installed because you don’t have to run an installation wizard yourself, which requires administrator permissions. So you could play those games on computers where you don’t have admin access, like a school or work laptop

CraigeryTheKid,

It’s similar to “portable” versions of software. You just run the .exe and of you go.

I generally run on the notion that if it sounds too good to be true and is slick and fancy… it’s probably a scam of some kind.

This site definitely gives that vibe to me.

squaresinger, (edited )

It totally does, that’s why I was asking.

I just wonder what the scam is.

db2,

Probably crypto miners or remote access.

tun,

too good to be true

I miss the kissass torrent days. Couldn’t find anything like original one to this day.

Sharpiemarker, w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?

Idk if any of you are old enough to remember NonSteamDown, an alternative Steam launcher that gave you access to all Valve’s games (when the only games you could get through Steam were Valve’s own titles). Completely unrelated to your question about Steamunlocked, it just triggered a core memory from my youth.

squaresinger,

Yeah, plenty old enough^^

Sharpiemarker,

Haha cheers!

demystify, w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?

I remember it being blacklisted in Reddit’s r/piracy megathread, supposedly they used IGG’s cracks or something. I, however, never had any problems with them.

Tread with caution. Use steamrip.com or other safe sources if you can, and if you have to use this site, at least be wary, read comments and scan the fuck out of everything.

squaresinger,

Thanks for the warning. What’s IGG?

Platform27,

IGG is a cracking group with a mixed reputation. Early on they distributed malware, which continues to give them a negative reputation. Though, I haven’t heard of anything bad about them, in some time… some repackers also use their cracks, with no issues. I think they were the first that cracked the latest Armoured Core, for example.

HerculeanTardigrade,

Since when was IGG a cracking group? They're just uploaders. TENOKE is the one who cracked Armored Core. Repackers use SCENE/P2P cracks like RUNE, TENOKE, EMPRESS, SKIDROW, etc.

IGG is not a cracker. I personally don't trust them. I don't understand why they include unimportant files in their uploads.

  • Free Premium Accounts at OfficialMrB.com.txt (0.8 KB)
  • IGG-GAMES.COM.url (0.2 KB)
  • PCGAMESTORRENTS.COM.url (0.2 KB)
  • README.txt (0.3 KB)
  • _INSTALL TUTORIAL.txt (1.7 KB)

What is the point of including these files? They're irrelevant.

https://old.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/ulsttu/proof_that_i_g_g_games_is_unsafe/i7xbf32/

With or without malware, I ain't risking downloading my games from their uploads.

IGG is bad because some of their repacks had their drm inside dll files, there were Ads built into the game at runtime, were found Cryptominers and startup malware included in their games and many other things.

OrangeXarot, w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?
squaresinger,

Huh, doesn’t sound too bad. Adblocker takes care of the ads. Slow host, oh well. And the last point I don’t understand.

Tippon,

IGG /nosteam uploads presumably means that they are the sources of the games. I don’t know a huge amount about game piracy, but it sounds like IGG / nosteam are not trustworthy.

Infiltrated_ad8271, (edited )
@Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social avatar

IGG is very toxic website that has a history of adding various types of malware (both web and games), including cryptominers.
It's higher on that list, even though for some reason it only highlights the (barely coherent) silliness that it has DRM.

I'm not know the nosteam website, it's odd that they mention it on the list but it's not listed.

Pantrygheist,

Never looked in IGGs direction ever since their spat with gog-games. It showed me they would bury other crackers if they had the chance.

Ganbat,

FMHY’s mod team has moved from Reddit, or at least isn’t as active as they used to be.

They run a site where these lists are gonna be better maintained.

Chewy7324, w What's the best way to get German content?

If you’re using Radarr/Sonarr, I can’t recommend this guide enough if you want german + english dual language media. github.com/…/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language

Usenet is great once I got SceneNZB recommended. They include content from House of Usenet, a forum for german usenet (getting media from forums can’t be easily automated, which is the big drawback of HoU).

I also found DrunkenSlug recommended, but everything I wanted in german was also on SceneNZB anyway.

webuge, w Need help to make a super simple setup for my mom !

I would add real-debrid too it speeds the load time. Regarding the subtitles I think you configure it when installing torrentio. For Android TV I have a Firestick tv 4k and Firestick 4k max, both runs streamio+real-debrid+Torrentio very well. For the French content you can configure it to be priority when installing torrentio

Chewy7324, w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?

Look for monetization. Bandwidth costs money which makes torrents great since ideally everyone shares the burden.

Ads alone probably won’t cover the burden, so they either have a subscription or have another agenda. Some might be legit for a while to sell out to the highest bidder at some point.

That said, there’re some examples of someone just loving to distribute e.g. Wii or older games. They usually have really slow download speed though.

Chewy7324, w Need help to make a super simple setup for my mom !

Just wanted to add that you might want to use real-debrid or a VPN, depending on your jurisdiction. Nothing worse than your mom receiving expensive letters. Though I guess it’s not a problem since you’ve been doing it for a while.

Have you tried searching for them?

rikudou, w How can I use yuzu If I don't have a switch in the first place?
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

Those files can be found by googling, no one here is likely to share them because sharing them is illegal.

tiwenty,

looks at the sub 😏

RussianKun,

He probably meant this: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/18438

tiwenty,

Ok that makes sense, thanks!

nothacking,

General discussion of illegal activities is legal, but distributed methods/keys/software to bypass DRM is not. In addition to the poster getting in trouble, the admins of multiple instances could at minimum be forced to delete the content, and at worst get their asses kicked by Nentendo’s legal team, and be forced to reveal the identities of the user that posted it.

tiwenty,

Fair enough, I didn’t read the rules.

rikudou,
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

In my jurisdiction downloading pirated stuff is perfectly legal. It’s only illegal when you’re distributing it. And even for jurisdictions where it’s not legal even to download pirated stuff, companies don’t much care about people who download, but only those who upload and as far as I know, you can discuss pirating all you want and nothing’s illegal.

tiwenty,

Interesting, thanks!

sickomogusflix should have seen that coming ngl.

BrandoCalrissian9229,

probably but it was on the FMHY wiki with a star, so idk. Kinda weird that one of the best and most trusted pirated resources would have a malware site listed as one of the best options

AnEilifintChorcra, w How can I use yuzu If I don't have a switch in the first place?

Fitgirl also has some repacks of popular ones and I’ve personally had good experiences with stuff from Sineater213
