CrustyWindows:Lost bootlegs

Revision as of 16:16, 6 April 2024 by Dartz (talk | contribs)

The bootlegs listed below are considered to be lost. There are many ways a bootleg can become lost. Most commonly, it is because all of the websites that hosted the files are offline. Some file hosting sites also delete files if they haven't been downloaded for a while, or if the owner hasn't logged in for a while. A full list of missing ISOs are below.

If you have these ISOs, please email us at staff@computernewb.com or send it in #bootleg-submission in our Discord server so we can add it to our collection! Just keep in mind that it qualifies (or #bootleg-guidelines in the aforementioned Discord) for the archive, or it might get rejected.

This list comes from the #bootleg-hitlist channel in the Crusty Windows Discord server, which is forwarded here, like the other listings. Don't forget to join the Discord server if you haven't already!
