Today's the day. 28 years later... (no, not the zombie apocalypse), I still can't fathom that Zophar's Domain has stood the test of time. Truly unbreakable! While many many other sites are lost to the sands of time, The Domain lives on. Thank you everyone, and emulation forever! - ThreadSky

THIS is a throwback, wow. Happy the site is still standing to this day! Emulation forever!

Brings back memories of downloading the NES emulator with the ballsack in the late 90s.

NESticle was one of my favorites!

Bow to the Fecal-lord!

Thank you!

And it's still a genuinely useful site to this day, couldn't tell you how many times it's saved me hours of searching for old utilities and such

craftersshaft.undertaie.com•123 days ago

the site has been a genuinely valuable resource for me for many years, especially being able to download SNES/NES/game boy audio rips and old emulators that are hard to find anywhere else

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Happy that Zophar’s Domain is still around!

sudbud.bsky.social•123 days ago

Hello, I follow you on Twitch as well as used the website back in the day. Still emulating, in fact. Thank you.

machinaezer0.bsky.social•123 days ago

Wow, crazy how time flies. Thanks for everything you've done for the scene!

ahninjas.bsky.social•123 days ago

I did my earliest rom hacking with tools hosted here. Xchar and a hex editor whose name I've long since forgotten.

Zophar’s Domain is the first place I go to find video game music!

Been using that site for more than 20 years, great to see it's still up! Congrats!

Such a great site! Emulation was so fun and exciting back then. These days, a little less so, sadly.

zophar.bsky.social•122 days ago

I hear ya. I’ll say the MiSTer stuff is pretty exciting!

phaser.io•122 days ago

I used to live for the version updates back then. When it would be genuinely exciting for an emulator to add a bunch of new games it could handle properly to its list 😀 Glad to see you still link to several of my emulator sites! (under the Atari ST section)

Wow, still up? Really neat. Zophar's Domain was what introduced me to emulation. I remember downloading my first emulators on there and then searching around for roms.

Often ironically for games I already owned because the systems and/or cartridges were iffy.

Have a lot of good memories of it.

samio.bsky.social•123 days ago

Been using this wonderful site and its many spc files since high school

thank you zophar

wescottatticas.bsky.social•123 days ago

Today and always. I remember Zophar when I was in my first year of college

smokemonster.bsky.social•123 days ago

Congrats! That's pretty amazing.

octi-vitali.bsky.social•120 days ago

Wow!
This takes me back.

Got your original copy on https://archive.org? I'm booting up the retroweb machine for some good ol' net nights like if it were September '94!

zophar.bsky.social•122 days ago

Actually the versions I have are from earlier than the earliest snapshots they have!

I use the music section almost daily while working, and have been a constant visitor (for various utilities) as long as I've been using the internet. Heartwarming to see it thriving in 2024.
