... I've downloaded it and am working on getting it ready for hosting on Mystic BBS software; the collection comes in hundreds of .zip files, but within those tar .tar archives - so I wrote a script that cycles thru
all the files, and re-archives the .tar bits into .zip so users can
easily view them right within the Mystic File Menus....

AMAZING. Dude. Sick.
Coming soon - working on it now.
Also added a ROMhacking.net mirror - they went offline last week; 20
years of ROM hacks... must... be... archived; and they are. @ 2oFB NOW.

My biggest kill if The Vault being torn apart .... they had EVERY ROM
for every system, then ninny got some shit up their ass and drm'd them.
Later, I remember thinking 80GB was the new HUGE drives - what do you think today's 'norm' is??? I would say 1TB - but even I want more than that even in just my laptops or desktop machines; while 1TB is still acceptible, I prefer 2... or 4TBs!!
Yea - big Nintendo always does that! The one guy who created either emulation software or... cart ripping hardware - Nintendo sued him for millions, and he did 8 years in prison... recently got out, but is still gonna owe N for the rest of his life.

I have 1TB in my work laptop and another in my personal. It doesn't feel like enough lol. A couple of AAA games and kiss your free space goodbye.
Storage is getting cheaper and cheaper yet I always feel like I don't quite have enough.
I'd love to archive some content similar to you, Paulie. The only
problem is my BBS itself is running on a VPS and storage is stupidly
cheap there. I considered trying to get some S3 storage bucket and
wiring it up to my VPS but that seems like a headache, and potentially a costly one. I also don't have the space to set up any sort of NAS over here. So, yeah, it sucks for me...please please don't shut your BBS
down! I need your files! hehe

This is super frustrating. There is no way to buy these vintage games legally. If it were possible, I'd buy them! But Nintendo going after anyone sharing this content while they stand to gain nothing by serving
a takedown is lame as hell.
My corporate laptop has a 512GB SSD, looks like they're around $35-$50, whereas 1TB is around $100 on Amazon. For a large company that doesn't want people storing data locally, that's pretty generous.
I have a 4TB SSD in my desktop, I was hoping to be able to put the OS
and all of my media on it, but it grew to the point where I was filling
my SSD and use an old 8TB SATA drive for media. It's backed up to my NAS and the cloud.
2oFB is here to stay - and I'm adding LOTS of data w/ the new NAS. :P 72TB, what o what am I gonna archive next?!?!!?

Good lord. I really need to come leech a bunch of your shit, but I've
been trying to hold off on going on too many file hunts until I make
more progress on organizing my own archives, which has turned into even more work than I figured it would be (and I already knew it would be a ton.) It is, on the other hand, kind of fun looking at all of this old shit again.
