ROMhacking.net has ended

Unexpectedly, http://ROMhacking.net has ended.
This was a decades-old nexus for romhacks, retro hardware documentation and fan translations.
The database is now on the Internet Archive but it seems to not include author references, so it remains preserved, though ahistorical.
