However, the site suddenly stopped working and did give any public announcement or information about the real reasons for their disappearance. The site didn’t store the huge amount of content on their file-hosting platforms but used torrents instead. Just before it suddenly disappeared, Portalroms boasted of over 4 million monthly visitors downloading everything from Nintendo Switch and Dreamcast to arcade games and everything in between. Then after that Portalroms.ch domain received only four complaints but those contained just over 1,000 URLs. So without any further notice completely shut down and nobody knows any reason for that. According to SimilarWeb data, Portalroms still managed to transfer most of their traffic to the new domain with little disruption.
However, Portalroms initially was hosted on their main domain, but for no clear reasons, they moved their operations to a Swiss-based domain, portalroms.ch, around October last year. However, Google’s Transparency Report reveals that received only 55 complaints targeting 115 URLs when it was in operation. According to some sources, is stopped due to too many copyright notices from various companies like Sony and Nintendo.
Millions of the site’s users suddenly found themselves without their favorite downloading website.
The site suddenly went dark without any public announcement or information about the real reasons for their disappearance. In the last 10 years or so, Portalroms had grown to become one of the most visited websites for retro games, roms, and emulator player downloads. Its account on Twitter, which is now dormant, was created way back in 2010. Portal roms has however undergone ownership changes and transformations over the years. The hugely popular roms download site has been around since 2004 or even earlier no one knows. If you are a fan or player of retro games on PC then you must have heard of or downloaded roms and emulators from.
