Rom Laboratory 404

Post by darknezz19 »

Looks like the domain returns a 404 now. Such a pity all the information and pin outs are gone. Did anyone make a backup of the site by chance?

https://web.archive.org/web/20070801000 ... interia.pl has most of it, but there's some bits here and there missing.

Nice! Thanks, you just saved me so much time. I was messing around extracting pages saved on the web archive since yesterday but it was really hard to get the full content to link up properly.

For those interested, I created a mirror.

Here it is, in all it's epilepsy inducing glory!

It might be good to replicate this information directly on the nesdev wiki and/or mainpage.

So I was bored today, and decided to try and find the missing NES files from romlab. I highly recommend using the chrome extension 'gif jam' when using these sites ;p

I found a slideshare archive has been made here: http://www.slideshare.net/Metaconta2/rom-laboratory and Atariusa (repairs site) has one page archived, maybe others. http://atariusa.com/flashback/albums/re ... ay3_files/

Pages that are broken on romlaboratory.dbwbp.com but available on archive.org:

https://web.archive.org/web/20080608132 ... .uk/eprom/
https://web.archive.org/web/20050302134 ... /index.htm
https://web.archive.org/web/20130917130 ... _unrom.htm
https://web.archive.org/web/20130819171 ... _cnrom.htm
https://web.archive.org/web/20140922134 ... p3cart.htm
https://web.archive.org/web/20140920232 ... mmc3_d.htm

Pages that are broken on romlaboratory.dbwbp.com & archive but available in slideshare:
http://nintendoallstars.w.interia.pl/ro ... dapter.htm -> /nesfcadapter1.jpg (page 91)
http://nintendoallstars.w.interia.pl/romlab/mmc1b_d.htm -> /mmc1b_d.jpg (page 121)
http://nintendoallstars.w.interiowo.pl/ ... c3pcb1.jpg -> (top pic page 125)

Pages that are broken and not archived :(
http://nintendoallstars.w.interia.pl/m1_mmc1.htm
http://nintendoallstars.w.interia.pl/m4_mmc3.htm
http://nintendoallstars.w.interia.pl/ro ... pper33.htm
http://nintendoallstars.w.interia.pl/sb8/ (IPS links)

If anyone has the missing files (especially the mario bros 8 patches) please post them!

This page is missing, only one link is missing images.

FARID: You may want to deal with the page encoding for example on this page. The page seems to be Windows-1250, aka Central European (Windows) and shows up as garbled from here. The auto detection, at least in Chrome, would have worked except that the web server declares that the page is UTF-8. Even if you added a meta charset tag to the file, that would do nothing since the http header value would override it. You should probably add a .htaccess file with the following line to solve the problem, assuming the server is using Apache or a compatible web server.

Code: Select all

AddDefaultCharset windows-1250

ROM Lab. works again. I contacted the owner and the mirror to the site was wrong.
