I added AnkerGames for preinstalled games it’s a really cool site! However, the only downside is that when a game link is dead, it just shows an error instead of indicating that the link is no longer active. I also added ReleaseBB for scene releases, though I’m unsure if it was a good choice since the downloads are quite slow. I’d love to hear your thoughts

About AnkerGames, it looks pretty good. However, ReleaseBB used to be listed on the wiki and I thought it didn't offer enough to justify being a part of the wiki; my opinion still stands.

You’re right about ReleaseBB. I added it because there are very few scene releases available, especially for old games. While ReleaseBB does provide some, many of the links are dead. However, it can still guide you to torrents where you might find these releases. It’s challenging to find scene release ISOs, particularly older ones, on public sites like Sclong or Gload. They’re mostly available on private trackers, which many people can’t access due to internet or seeding rules, along with other restrictions.

I would rather have any other release tracker for that purpose than ReleaseBB, to be honest.

Public trackers typically don't host scene releases, only their repacks are based on scene like R.G. Mechanics on tapocheck.net. Adding private trackers or even a guide on how to access them to the wiki could be a valuable solution.

I hate to disagree but private trackers simply aren't easy to work with. There's so many factors for beginners who simply download their torrents and stop the client, thus never seeding the torrent after that. They are, of course, valuable but knowing most people, it simply won't provide much value to them beyond internet points.

That’s a good point, I agree private trackers can be too complex for beginners and might not add much value for most users. It’s probably best not to include them then
