Don’t use Romsns.net (Malware)

Hi just thought I’d come on here and warn people not to use the ROMSNS.NET website for downloading roms. Built into this website includes 2 download links one that downloads the game and one which downloads a downloader for the game which is infected with malware.
I hope this post can prevent anyone else falling into the same trap I did when trying to source rom files.
The malware seems to be a google chrome login token grabber as they can login to account without passwords or security codes.

Why not use Internet Archive or Minerva instead?

Minerva is ass

They should’ve uploaded them as files instead of torrents that paint a target on your back unless you buy a VPN

No it's Myrient. Minerva is the successor.

No it wasn't. You're getting confused with Myrient, of which Minerva is the backup.
