It makes sense to put GCN games on here because it's now 2 generations behind. You put N64 games on here when the wii came out, so at that time it was 2 generations behind.

I don't think its a matter of generation, I think its a matter of the bandwidth cost, and the data it would take up. Right now I don't think its possible.

*sigh* There are WAY too many threads about gamecube emulators and such...It more than likely is not going to happen anytime soon. It would cost A LOT of money and data.

I will break this down. It doesn't matter how many generations ago the system is. Consoles with disc games will not be put on this site for one main reason. Games on discs are far to large. This server doesn't have the bandwidth capable of streaming that much information. If even a small handful of people were playing disc games at the same time, it would strain the server and crash it. It would cost a small fortune to have a server that could handle streaming that much. And before anyone gets the idea that if they rally people to donate to purchase a server that can, it is not a one time cost issue. Having that kind of server would cost a small fortune MONTHLY to have. It just won't happen.

Local Mods : please close this.

Yeah, basically this is a no-go unless the site was seeing a large amount of donations per month to justify a server upgrade and even then that's a big gamble because how can David know that those donations will continue at that level?

I don't know what David currently pays for the servers he has, but I do know that severs are extremely expensive... like hundreds of dollars a month for really large sites with lots of file hosting capability.

As it is, this site goes down from time to time just trying to handle small, old games and the Sega CD stuff... so yeah, anything beyond that is unreasonable to expect.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
