The Server is Up!

Ok, the holy FedEx has shined on me today, and I got my new 120 GB hard drive in. After a few hours of setup, I'm now up and running.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROMs

I have my whole ROM collection up right now. It isn't that much, but pretty much all the stuff is good. The emulator I use is also up, and I suggest you get that since the file is edited to work with that. It may not matter for SNES or Genesis or normal ones like that, but the Neo-Geo ROMs have been edited to work with WinKawaks. Some newer GBA games also require a specific emulator because of newer graphic effects, so you should get that from me too.

Of course, keep all the ROM files in their zips. Neo-Geo ROMs require they stay in the ZIP, but it can't hurt to keep the others in the ZIPs. It will at least let you distinguish between the ROM file and the save file.

King of Fighters 2001 is a special case. WinKawaks is made not to work with King of Fighters 2001 because the creator of WinKawaks has made it his personal vendetta to resurrect SNK or something. But there is a work around. You'll notice the ZIP file in the King of Fighters 2001 folder is labled kof98.zip, as are all the ROM files inside. But they are really the 2001 files just renamed to 98 so WinKawaks won't catch it. If you also have the REAL King of Fighters 98, you can't have WinKawaks search in the place where both are. I have 2001 in a different directory from all the others and just make WinKawaks look in that directory when I want to play 2001.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PSX ISOs

I keep all 40 or so of my games in playable form, aka CDs. I just got the hard drive today, so I am in the process of ripping them. I'm using Clone CD 4 which does a thorough job so each rip takes about 7 minutes, then another 5 or so to ZIP it. I'm working on things as I go, so only get ZIP files. If you see any weirdly named files or IMAGE.CDD or anything, DON'T GET THEM. THEY ARE STILL BEING RIPPED. Only get if it is a zip which is labeled normally (zips still being made are labeled in number strings, so you can tell they aren't complete).

Right now, I have Thrill Kill, Einhander, and Parappa the Rapper up. As I type this, Tekken 3 is ripping. And then the list goes on as to what I'm doing next. Be patient, I'm working as fast as my computer will let me (good computer too, 1.53 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 24/10/40 CD-RW, 7200 rpm hard drive w/8 MB cache). But it's coming. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other ISOs

I'm not sure what else I'm going to rip. I have one DC Diskjuggler image I'll be ripping (DC games don't rip in Clone CD, unless I'm mistaken). I'm also gonna get DOA2 from kickbaq. All my other DC games are the real GD-ROMs, so I don't think I can rip those (unless someone tells me otherwise).

I could rip PS2 CD and DVD games, but won't unless there is some interest as very few people can play these.

PC games seem to be a good thing to rip, what do you guys think?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uploaders

Ok, I'm looking for any and all uploaders. :) I want to get this server really going. If you do upload to me, you'll get your own login to ensure you can get some games. Posting here obviously won't help since the whole point is you have a login other leeches don't, so please email me at

[email protected]

and tell what you can upload. Much appreciated. :)


All other people will log in on the general login. There is a limit of 10 users for now (might go up later), and only one IP login per person (which also might change, still figuring things out). But my server will be on 24/7 (hopefully) besides a few resets. This is my actual computer, so anything that happens happens, I can't be held accountable if I feel like resetting to install some program. But you should be able to resume the download just fine. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOG-IN INFO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I did specifically put this at the bottom so you'd all hopefully read what I wrote. Some people have reported they can't get in my server through FTP clients (very few, 2 out of 20 actually), but they could still get in through Internet Explorer.

If you're using Internet Explorer, the address is

ftp://24.91.177.85
the login is: emuparadise
the password is: guest

for FTP client users,

IP: 24.91.177.85
login: emuparadise
password: guest
port: 21





AND OH YAH!!! VOTE FOR ME!!!!!



Peace out. ;)

And if for ANY reason the games don't work once you get them, please email me and tell me!! These are my games, so I want to know. Whether it won't even open or boot up or whether it crashes later on, I want to know! That way I can fix it or get a working version. Please, I seriously. :)


Any tools you need to burn the files are on the server as well. :)

great ftp man. ill upload any of my isos if you want . after i dl einhander :) oh yea ya got my vote =) hhhmmm... i exited it from my internet browser so i could try it wit ftp client, client didnt work, but now i cant login in internet explorer!?!?!?
I have:
final fantasy 8
final fantasy tactics
twisted metal 4(no music)
dbgt final bout
bubble bobble 2
crash team racing
crash bash
crash 3 : warped
spawn the eternal

if you want i could upload be4 i dl

Hmm.... don't know why that is. Maybe cuz it had you still logged in from the first time. I just turned off the "1 login per IP" option, so try now.

As for uploading, Spawn would be good, but I can get you a different account for that. The one I put up doesn't have uploading privileges, I don't want some random jokers uploading crap like porn or viruses. Believe it or not, it's happened before. Email me (same to anyone who wants to upload). :)

hey neo i cant seem to get in your ftp i always get this:

it seems i can connect but like doesnt finish or somthing.. jsut read yoru post about uploading.. e-mail me the upload info
[email protected]

i can get onto your server only by ie, thats kinda scary because if you restart while i'm DLing something, i will have to start all over:frown: if u can try to make your ftp compatible with cute ftp pro or something, i also e-mailed you.

hey Neo559, can you make a special slot for me since your ftp is always full!!:biggrin:

I will make one for you if you want.

thanks!!

Is it worth uploading PSX ISO's with a regula phone line? (56k, I think)

If it is let me know I have stuff like Suikoden I & II that seem to be much wanted, can't blame anyone they are brill games

If I can how long APX would it take to upload, let say about 500MB

yo neo, i pmed you about uplaoding spawn so check your box thingy

Hey astroduck, I tried to PM you the info, but your box was full or something.

do you have to use getright

No. You have to use something like CuteFTP or WS_FTP. They're FTP clients.

For some reason I can upload 3 times faster than I can Downlaod!! I cant stay connected long enough to your server to get anything. I uplaoded pocket fighters and I have about 4 more ISO's of PSX I need to uplaod before I try to leech FF7 and chrono cross for you, which is an even deal 5 ISO's for 5 ISO's :nod:

I cannot log on to your ftp it says username or password incorrect
