The links in that reddit post are out of date and not working anymore.

Can someone explain how to compile SmokerMonsters packs for Windows, i have the no-intro romset, EverDrive-Packs-Lists-Database (with all the .txt files in) and Python installed but haven't a clue to compile say if i wanted to compile the, Mega EverDrive SMDB??

roms are located in, d:\roms\genesis
everdrive pack list is located in, d:\SM Everdrive Packs
and python, c:\python

or failing that where the latest Everdrive complete download can be found?

The pack has been taken down on archive.org unfortunately.

Strange times indeed for the packs. They were taken down on Archive, then the next day went back up. The uploader spent the next day or so uploading everything again, but within 2 days they were gone again.

Not sure why this has happened so quickly this time. It's par for the course that every so often they get removed, but for the past few years at least they then normally find a new page (or home) fairly quickly.

This time it feels different, like maybe someone or some entity higher up is (Nintendo perhaps?) actively ensuring they are no longer available. I hope I'm wrong and they find a new home somewhere.

It may be that they have to be scattered by console from now on to ensure their survival, rather than having everything on one page. Or maybe having titles that don't mention 'Everdrive' might help.

Seeing that outcome is just about as random as the recently released Famicom game America Daitouryou Senkyo unfinished being removed from romhackings page a single hour after it was uploaded though it was bad timing with what just happened over there, almost the same outcome as Star Ocean Blue Sphere on the Gameboy ended up being lost... likely nearer to the time in the future it will not be lost to time.

Never had an issue finding any sort of pack or rom, having been on private torrent sites for retro video games since early 2000's.  There are about 6 or so good ones out there currently.   Try to get into one.

Edit: It's back up now but with a text replacement to imagine its one of the near earliest Japan games that came out if you consider 1987 is my closest target http://www.romhacking.net/translations/5755/
