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.
