I've just added a new server to our mix of servers so that you can get better download speeds, especially on weekends when site usage goes up heavily!

After the scare from two weeks ago with the hard drive crash that we thankfully recovered from, the new server will also serve as a backup mirror for everything. We're not taking any more chances!

The new server will also allow us more space so that we can keep adding great content for you folks! So stay tuned for what's coming next :) We've got some great new features and additions planned for the rest of the year!

Today I'm happy to introduce a new level of interactivity for Emuparadise. We've integrated the site and forums and now you can sign into Emuparadise using your EP Forums account. What's more, when you sign in and submit screenshots, descriptions, etc. for games on emuparadise - you will earn points!

Points can be redeemed for goodies like access to hidden forum sections, EP Premium, Emuparadise T-Shirts, special badges, and more stuff coming soon!!

You can also earn points for being a helpful member of the Emuparadise community. Every time someone "Thanks" you on epforums, you will earn points. All the more reason to stick around and help out EP Forum members with their emulation troubles! We're going to be adding many more ways of earning points and redeeming them in the near future so stay tuned!

Of course, you can still continue to do everything without logging in - just like before, but why would you if you could get some free goodies for it ? :) So Signup / Sign in and get started right away!

Time to earn some points, just like you did when you beat up Gato ;)

One of our servers has suffered a major hard drive failure. Several of our download sections are impacted. Specifically, the server with IP address 50.7.161.234. Our server hosts are trying to check the hard drives to see if we can recover the data. Fingers crossed.

In the meantime, we're working on redirecting downloads but please note that some of our links may be broken right now. We'll keep you updated, and are hoping for some good news from the techs.

Update 1:
Our server admins are still working on data recovery to see if it's possible however as of now several sections are down:
- Multiple ROM sections are affected
- Comics, Magazines, Game Guides, etc.
- TV Shows, FMVs, Video Game Movies, etc.
- MP3 soundtracks, Native Music section (High Quality soundtracks are online)

Update 2:
It looks like our amazing server techs have managed to fix the issue. Our RAID array is recovering now and due to the large amount of data will take a few hours. Once we are fully recovered I will update this post with more info.

Update 3:
Well, the server is now fully recovered and all the data is back online! Woohoo! Thankfully our entire RAID system was not affected so we managed to rebuild the data. Phew! All downloads are back online :)

At emuparadise we're always working to get the best experience for our users. Over the last week we've been cutting down on ads, kicking out bad advertisers, and generally cleaning up the site. I've also spent a lot of time optimizing our pages to make them faster.

Yesterday, we noticed our downloads going slow and upon looking into it further found that thousands of sites around the internet are sharing our links (direct links to files) and therefore using up the bandwidth that should go to our loyal users.

We've put up some new hotlink protection to make sure that this does not happen. This is to ensure that our users get the best possible download speeds at all times.

The hotlink protection may cause problems if you are using download managers to get your files. Download managers and download resuming will *still work*. All you need to do is make sure you are sending the correct referrer header. Download managers like downthemall! already do this so you should not face any issues with them.

As always, EP Premium users will continue to get 4 download slots and hassle free usage of download managers.

We're going to be adding new features and new games soon so stay tuned!
