I miss arcades that walls full of games of all different types.

Kind of funny how arcades went the way of the dodo in favor of home games only to end up milking everyone worse (most likely) than old arcade games did :wacko:.

The stuff I was getting was fresh uploads (that wasn't all uploaded at that point) of Dreamcast and Xbox protos. Hundreds of them.

I'd guess that the servers for the US were mostly or completely unaffected. Is there any point to those prototype builds for games that have retail releases? If there's cut content that'd be neat but otherwise I don't get it.

for most proto/alpha builds that's the case but it's not always significant content being cut.

There are some unreleased games there (not many) but with the others they can have different content (not always cut, sometimes assets look different) to final retail and another thing is debug features.

The archive.org servers that were down due to power outage were in the US :lol
I'm not aware of them having servers in other countries.

As I said I looked it up on twitter and there was a power outage for 8k plus customers in one area in the US, due to mist and fog.

Couple of things I noticed:
Shanghai Dynasty (DC) unreleased English version
Illbleed (DC) debug
Jet Grind Radio (DC) debug
The Vatz (Xbox) unreleased demo - anything about this game is quite rare
Dinosaur Hunting (Xbox) unreleased English version
Made Man (Xbox)
Hail to the Chimp (Xbox)

I don't download every single proto that appears but I do collect quite a few titles.

Edit:
Ok more than a couple :P

Yeah. Like overpriced DLC and games being a service? Ugh. But yeah Arcades were awesome back in the day. I miss them. If I get the room and money I want to build a MAME cab.

I went to arcades a fair bit when I was in primary school. I guess my favourite was down at the beach my family went to for holidays every summer (just after New Year).
We would stay at the caravan park down there, my aunt had a caravan that members of the family would use for a week or two each.
The caravan park had a milk bar and out the back of that was a room with about a dozen or more cabinets. Some cabinets would change each year but some stayed for several years.
Wasn't anywhere near the best arcade I went to, but I have a lot of good memories of that place :) Space Invaders, Asteroids, Galaxian, Moon Patrol, Time Pilot and heaps of other games.
I would save pocket money for those holidays, mostly to play the machines but also to buy war comics from the local newsagency.

I played a lot of arcade games as a kid. Lots of good arcade games. At least MAME let's us relive the classics. I had to look up Milk Bar real quick, I've heard of them, but wasn't exactly sure what they were.

In the U.S. the closest thing we have is I guess general stores and fast food resturants.

Where did I say they weren't :thot:? I was guessing at what the affected servers were handling. I'm probably wrong but it doesn't matter. The issue got fixed quickly and all is well again :wacko:.

You need the prototype fullset. It needs to fit on a DVD.

I saw that when I looked through some of the lists. Is it a big demo?

Serious question
I just got a 32MB SD card. What can I keep on it?

Edit: Hmm, the Atari 2600 romset is 4MB

I use a 1GB card for my UnoCart-2600 :wacko:
I do have some really tiny old cards that still work (I think the smallest are 8MB) but I'm saving them for anything that might actually require them.

I haven't tested any of the games I got so far.
It isn't a large file though.
But then Morrowind retail isn't a large file either but has loads of content :shrug:

Corner Store might be the closest thing?
Milk Bars are very rare here now, most have been converted into dwellings. They pretty much died out due to large supermarkets being everywhere plus newer petrol stations having "general store" type products.
A general store is more than just a milk bar, at least here anyway.

Back when I was a teenager I lived in the same small rural town where I live now.

Back then we had:

Spoiler warning:

A Fish and Chip shop (which was also a milk bar as far as products), this is now a Cafe and serves as the local community post office.
A General Store (now closed), which was also the local newsagency and post office (no postal deliveries to residences here you just pickup at PO like you would if you have a PO Box but it's free :) )
A Hotel, which has always been just a pub (with meals) as long as I can remember so no rooms to rent.
A Butchers shop (now a small art gallery but was a residence for like 20 years previously).
A Bakery that was operated as such for maybe 100 years, has been a residence now for 15 years or so.
A Garage... auto mechanical repairs, fuel including bottled gas and also roadworthy certificates. Has been closed for years now.

So atm there's only really the Cafe and Pub.
If you need petrol/groceries etc you have to drive to the city which is like 15 or so minutes away. Although groceries can be delivered by the major supermarkets for a very small fee.

Had a 8MB one before, and I was like "that's the same size as a PS2 MC, I'll store a FMCB installer here". Tried it out, the read/write speeds were too slow for it to work on the PS2 :lol Then I just threw it out.
Actually I think I'll try that, I think I'm already wasting a 1GB card with FMCB on it ^^;;;

Yeah corner stores are still a thing here. Mostly in smaller towns. I think in most developed countries, big grocery store chains now offer most things.

Printing my vaccination certificate.
Don't really need it for anything just yet, but I expect I'll need proof on me at all times... soonish.

rain is ruining my plans for today :fist:

Also installed adobe reader on my phone (had to use an older version as my phone is old and shit) and dumped a pdf copy of my cert on there.
Did it manually because I still refuse to use internet on my phone :pwacko:
I'll still keep the printed copy in my wallet though, just in case my phone is dead (hardly ever happens anyway).

I have a desire to play luigis mansion but I can't run dolphin and don't have a gc anymore I have dark moon on my 3ds but meh I want the original.
also I have kirby music stuck in my head hmm might have to play one today.

Wasn't the og Luigi's Mansion ported to the 3ds? You haven't hacked your 3ds?
