Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

      I’m so very confused.

      Vimm.net seems to be entirely comprised of emulators.

      I found it on c/crackwatch. It links to this predb site which prompts you to download a text file that has the same instructions in it as the website. The first instruction says “extract”. Extract what? It also says I have to change firewall settings so the game can’t connect to the internet and I’ve no idea how to do that.

      I don’t see Tony Hawk or any other games on that megathread site.

      All these torrent sites just seem to link back and forth to each other.

      Search results for a good place to find Torrents turn up nothing but VPN ads.

        vimm is for old console/handheld games. on the megathread link go to the games section, go to ones of the torrent sites in general purpose and look up tony hawk
