   Complete roms collection with fast bandwith

   You just have to register and get full access to an exhaustive list of roms. They post a report of antivirus scan, never see that before. Only the emulators are missing.

   👍 Pros:    Full of roms|Security disclaimer and report

   👎 Cons:    Need to create an account|No emulators|Anyone can upload

  Have you checked out Arc Browser? [0] It's pretty opinionated. "Archives" tabs after a pre-set amount of time, uses pinned vertical tabs instead of bookmarks… [0] https://arc.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

• Have you tried the Arc browser?

  I have no affiliation with Arc, but I've been experimenting with it, and I'm quite pleased. I've known about it for a while but did not feel like trying it too early on before it worked out some kinks. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Anyone knows what browser this is where you can reduce a browser to it's edges? I thought it was sidekick but apparently not.

  This is Arc Browser. Highly recommend giving it a shot. Source: 5 months ago

• ByteDance AI researcher suggests that open source model more powerful than Gemini to be released soon

  Switch to https://arc.net/ (but MacOS only for now). Source: 5 months ago

• How can I share my setup with a friend?

  All for all I'm sort of imitating the "spaces" behavior of Arc for those who are familiar with this nice new kid on the block, only with a real separation between working spaces (as I'm using containers) and outside the chromium ecosystem. Source: 5 months ago

• Help!

  I do not believe Xenia requires a BIOS, haven't messed with it in years, it was pretty terrible the last time I tried it. Short of buying a faster internet connection no. You might find the games you're looking for on theromdepot it's usually much faster than Internet Archive, but they don't have everything (requires you to make a free acc). Source: over 1 year ago

• Retro emulator console

  There's a ton of them, some easier to access than others. https://theromdepot.com/ is fast and has complete sets for NES SNES and Genesis, and allows ftp access for batch downloads, it does requires a free account though. https://vimm.net/ is slower, dosen't allow ftp access, but they have a large archive, and don't require an account. https://archive.org/ has most everything but it's a chore to sort through...
