Sounds like they could still host hacks for non-Nintendo consoles, but there probably aren't a lot of them.

Apparently that's not quite the case. Desite what it looks like, oddly enough, romhacking_net is not an official Twitter account for the site. It was registered in January this year, and until now, it's just posted about new hacks being released, definitely looking like it's real. But an actual confirmed staff member of the site is saying that it's fake. The site hasn't been shut down, it's just an outage. Whoever made the romhacking_net twitter account can't have planned for this, two months down the line, so it's really odd.

I'm glad this is #FAKENEWS. But those tools and docs need a mirror.

Locking the thread because it is irrelevant now.
