Oh no, are there websites that list these projects so I can avoid them and make sure I don't go to them? I mean like listing projects, not necessarily the links to download. Just knowing about them is helpf—er, harmful I mean, and I don't want to know they exist because I already know some websites not to go to to find stuff like that.

edit: OP mentioned a subreddit - here's a specific thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/decomps/comments/1x6sta3/megathread_list_of_recommended_recomps_and_ports/
