    Well, I figure the assembler games community will be more interested in this than the gbatemp community, So, I'll post this bit of news here too…

    Surprised no one on this site has noticed it…


    Archive.vg, a site by the same person who runs the macscene.org forums, Is now open to the public.
    Previously, Only "Blue Key" (fancy way of saying "beta") members were allowed in.


    I was lucky enough to be a "Blue Key" member, and I can tell you, the site has a LOT of content… It also looks very nice… All that skeumorphism…


    Archive.vg is also partnered with the "OpenEmu" project, a "Multi Video Game System" Emulator, looks to me like they will be integrated together eventually…

    iPhone App coming zoo, as well…

    From OpenEmu's twitter description:



    This is probably a bigger deal for Mac users than Windows/Linux user, however.

    They posted like 5 articles in the last 5 minutes…

    Looks great. After I created my account though (same ID as here) and tried to login it just says "user id too short". Do you know of a way to contact an admin over there?

    Is it just me or the website is painfully slow? (I know, I know, it's most likely all the people that are using it now that it's publicly available).

    quick this morning... I was thinking about asking about the search speed under high pressure... more money more servers ?
    Ill see where they go, im never going to pay for game info, for playing is a different story :p ow and the emu's should always offer a free version with unlimited play. Wait, I like the website, thats this topic about, looks nice, different background please, dont like sports. needs Android/Windows apps ?

    I noticed it became slower after I posted it here, and on gbatemp.

    It wasn't really advertised anywhere except macscene.net…
