Ugh sorry, its up again. I was not around and for some reason my router was not renewing the servers IP.

Sorry about the short downtime, someone emailed me yesterday and alerted me. Apparently the UPS kicked in due to "electrical noise" and didn't switch back to AC power before the battery was used up... first time that has happened.

Crap sorry, I actually had posted an updated one like the day before the crash as per your request but it must have been before the last backup. New one back up.

Yes, by all means do.

Should be working for everyone again. I ended up having to move it to a machine that is a bit more underpowered than before, but hopefully it won't be an issue. Images will take a bit of time to load on first view because the cache is still fresh.

...and it's down once again :/ sorry guys, more ancient hardware troubles. No data loss or anything like that though. It's probably going to be a few days before I have the time to mess with it unfortunately. I know people are getting fed up with the downtime and this really does need to go to a rea...

Sorry, the server had crashed and I didn't notice until now, normally it reboots itself but apparently didn't feel like it this time.

I'm curious to know the status of the as yet undumped list of Famicom carts. There doesn't seem to be much progress on getting those bought and dumped? Are they too expensive or something? It's mostly a money thing for me, I don't have quite as much disposable income as I used too. Also, when I fir...

It looks like my software is a little bit more antsy to timeout, mine was giving it 8 seconds and the official version was giving it 10 :p I recompiled with 10 and will send it your way. When I get a chance I will work up a TASM-compatible source, just for consistency.

Site is back up finally! Sorry it took so long! :/ If you run into problems, please let me know.

Also, if you donated, please PM me with whatever name you'd like to be credited with.

The error apparently is because a bug in php [1], reading more here [2] talk about set "USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0" on php config. Maybe you can try that, or try upgrade the *AMP install, obviously in a separate server to keep the original untouched. I did try that actually, but the server will still crash n...

I got all the data back, everything was recovered thankfully. It's so close to being back online but I'm running into one snag and it's really got me stumped. Something is going seriously wrong with PHP. Very shortly after scripts start to execute, it will crash, restarting apache as well. In the ap...

Excellent news today! I sent in the drive earlier this week, they received it yesterday, and already today they are telling me they can recover 100% of what I need and sent me a file manifest of the contents of the drive and it looks like everything is there! So long as the transfer goes smooth, I w...

Just wanted to post an update, I didn't manage to ship out drive yet before I left for a long overdue vacation. I just got back tonight, I will get it shipped out for sure in the next couple days. I've gotten floods of support for both hosting and for helping out with recovery costs. I really apprec...

I haven't tried any linux based approaches, and I have very little experience with linux based OS's in general. If there is a ready to go image file that I can just drop on a USB drive or burn onto a disc, I guess it's worth a shot.
