It would be lovely to have a.lot. of this. I guess the first question is, how large is this dump? We have limited available space and such a large influx may very well overwhelm all of this. Once we can verify capacity, then we can worry about logistics of getting this imported into our library.This is a lot of stuff. We likely already have some of this, which would be a matter of us verifying which copy is the better copy, and decide how to retain from there.
Mortal Komat II and UMK3 are two of my all time favorite fighting games. Since I knew what I was shooting for, I started thinking about the number of buttons I needed. On EV's page, he used 2 Gravis GamePads and a MouseStick II. Being that this was just a one player controller I thought I would just use one GamePad and a MouseStick II.
For those items that we no longer have, the question of importing them may become a little easier. For your reference the WinWorld Library is organized in a Product - Release structure.
When you're viewing a single product each release is shown in the pill tabs in the middle - so they're relatively free form in terms of organization. Most product keeps to version numbers but sometimes we deviate. For as much scripting as you may have to do, we will have to do an equal amount if we do not want to do importing into the site a manual task. I guess my point is if you're willing to give us some work maybe I can meet you halfway with some kind of improvised API to add into such.Thank you for this offer of your stash as well as your offering of scripting to assist with meeting to our needs.
If anyone else reading is ever wondering in the back of their mind, how to help our site, it's an attitude like this which gets you towards our consideration. SomeGuy and ampharos let's have an admin conversation about how we would like to handle this. Are all of the above listed items publicly downloadable?To me that makes it lower priority than some other sources, but I have already been selectively importing some items if they are of sufficient quality, typically when cleaning up/researching/beefing up specific products.A LOT of stuff on that site is just SIT archives of installed folders. Not very useful here, where most download are geared towards use in emulators on Windows. We generally need 'raw' 400k, 800k, 1.44mb or ISO images.They also don't have much in the way of documentation for most products, but they do have mostly good descriptions on each page detailing what OS versions they run under.
