I propose we host online for download all dev and sdk related files, including docs for: NES SNES MEGADRIVE / GENESIS SEGA CD 3DO Man people have been asking for files, and I think it would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that is free to download without registration. I would re-open our torrent area and host these on a cheap torrent device. What do you think?
sounds a great idea even if i can't have any use for them i would add to the list: philips cd-i Jaguar
I have some host space, plus, as you know, a multitude of SDK assets and docs. Edit: Also, could users up sets of subroutines and tools they make? Personally I make quite a bit of stuff for personal use for my MD programming. Might as well share
I can fire up some 100mbit http and/or torrent seeding if it'd help, have a crudload of traffic i'm not utilising at the moment. EDIT: Assuming, of course, that this is legal. Although I can't imagine you'd be openly discussing it if it weren't.
I don't think a torrent would be efficient. Nothing worse than a dead seed. Having it put on rs or mu would be best. When / if it dies, someone who has the mass collection (several of us should) can reupload it and the OP can be edited. agree/disagree?
I agree...sort of, should we go with MegaUpload or something like that, this could just be me but I've never been fond of MU or R$
You can do such a thing for copyrighted SDK files, but the most accurate dev documents are now housed in wikis at their respective home brew scene sites.
I do have 32x SDK stuff, but I downloaded from members off of here, so they might have it, but if you don't receive it, just let me know and I'll email you the stuff.
I've organized everything I have by system. It's mostly documents, but there are some things here and there. I don't seem to have any NES stuff, but I am ready to go for the rest of that. Edit: Checked the 3DO stuff. It's all Mac OS, so if that is useful or not I will leave it up to the site to decide. Is M2/Bulldog also uploadable (It's also Mac OS, damn you 3DO)?
Anyone care to help me with this? I'm crazy busy and if someone can help run this and administer who has access to the ftp?
