Does anyone know some sites to download via torrent Switch or PS3 games? I know I can just use some megathread site and search for the title I’m interested in and that’s what I’m doing, but 90% of the cases of PS3 games don’t any seeder.

      I prefer torrent more than anything because I’m on Linux and downloading using programs like JDownloader is a bit uncomfortable, literally once you minimize the window is very difficult to reopen and without minimizing for some reason only the window consumes CPU resources.

      AlvRo’s Collection looks great!

        Why not just run wget in a terminal, or is one-click functionality the necessity here?

      Vimm is the best of all, but in this specific case that I want to download Little Big Planet 1 the two ISO files that Vimm provides do not run because RPCS3 does not support that version, I tried to update it manually without success.

      And I already use Ziperto and NoPaystation and they are great! But I prefer torrent downloads because they save me the fatigue of having to download different .zip/.rar files and many times they are already unzipped.

      I’ve never used a private tracker before and I don’t even know how to “be admitted”.

        Maybe they just need to be decrypted? You can refer to the quickstart guide for the steps, if you want. Go to the very last section.

    If you know a bit of russian(or willing to use translate feature in a browser) then rutracker.org. Yes, it is russian site, but it has a lot of international images for any platforms (including, but not limited to PS3 and Switch). In my experience there are always seeders for everything.

    Upvoting for visibility, but other than fitgirl, dodi, et. al. for bigger switch titles I don’t where people are getting their multi-gig roms from

      Do the repacks come with the .xci or .nsp separately or in a directory where I can extract it and copy it to another one?

      I already have Yuzu configured on my machine (which is Linux) and I’m pretty sure that Wine could not run an emulator as smoothly as the emulator itself does natively on Linux.

        If you only need the rom then downloading an entire repack is unnecessary. That said they would have the rom files you need.

        I’ve never seen a distribution where the rom was integrated into the emu such that there was no .xci or .nsp file. Fitgirl always repacks their releases into multiple .bin files that need to be extracted first, then you get an .xci or .nsp alongside the emu. Dodi does that rarely, most of the time the torrent is just a folder with the emu and the .xci or .nsp alongside the emu. Most other releases I’ve seen were the same with no repacking, just a folder with the emu and the .xci/.nsp.
