11.12.2011 - The apologetic Gregf update...
- I've been meaning to clear up a few things for a while from the various places people post information for me, and this takes care of a certain forum lurker, thanks to Gregf for most of these updates :)
- In other news, I've changed the way that the site works a little. It always annoyed me that I had, for example, Naomi split over 3 or 4 different sections, so now it's all under Sega with just pointers from the other sections (e.g. Capcom/Namco etc.).
It still needs some slight tweaking but I'm happier with it this way already.
Atari - Added better screenshots to Firefox on Atari Laserdisc Hardware, thanks to Gregf.
Konami - Added screenshots for Fantastic Journey, Racin' Force and better screenshots to Run and Gun 2, Vs. Net Soccer and Soccer Superstars on Konami GX Hardware, thanks to Gregf.
Midway - Added screenshots to Space Walk on 8080 Hardware, thanks to Gregf.
- Added screenshots to Lazarian on unique Hardware, thanks to Gregf.
- Midway Leader Lo-Boy and Basketball have been removed, they were both wrong names for other games, thanks to Gregf.
Sega - Added screenshots to Sega Star Raker on Vic Dual Hardware, thanks to Gregf.
- Moved Space Ship to Licensed Hardware with screens and a PCB image, thanks to Gregf.
- Moved Sega Heli Shooter from Discrete Logic to mechanical Hardware, thanks to Gregf.
- Corrected Guilty Gear XX Slash year, thanks to Francisco Nogueira.
- Removed Titan Titles by Sega, it was a flyer name not a game, thanks to Joerg Burkart.
Taito - Added better screenshots to Vertexer on Unknown Post 1990 Hardware.
- Moved Rumba Lumba to The Fairyland Story Hardware and added screenshots, thanks to Gregf.
- Added better screenshots to M.A.C.H. 3 on Licensed Hardware, thanks to Gregf.
- Moved Sub Hunter to 8080 Hardware and added screenshots, thanks to Gregf.
- Corrected Battle Fantasia year, thanks to Francisco Nogueira.
- Added BlazBlue Continuum Shift II and BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend to Taito Type X2 Hardware, thanks to Francisco Nogueira.
Other - Some minor changes to the CAVE hardware pages, more to come there later probably.
That's it for now, I'll probably do some more updates this week (maybe) as I'm archiving my CD collection again ;)
Cheers,
Toby
7.11.2011 - Cave In
- Anyway, on with an update regardless.
Other - Renamed Cave SH3 Hardware to Cave CV1000B Hardware.

- Added Akai Katana and Mushihime-Sama Ver 1.5 Matsuri Version to Cave CV1000D Hardware Page.
- There's more to do in these pages, but that'll do for now ;)
Other Bits - In other news and talking about hardware, as we sometimes do, NEW PC!

For those of you interested (all... well, none of you probably!) CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K / Corsair A50 Cooler Mobo: Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit GPU: Asus GTX560TI DCII TOP PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance Power Supply Drives: OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 120GB 3.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive (and 4 normal hard drives of varying sizes) Optical: LiteOn iHBS112 12x BluRay-RW 16 x DVD±RW Drive
My first PC with no floppy drive at all, and I really can't recommend getting a solid state hard drive enough, it's just stunningly fast,
Cheers,
Toby
5.11.2011 - The few spoiling it for the many
- So I've had a good look at the site, and there's nothing really *that* wrong, it could probably do with the tender loving touch of an SQL guru, nudge nudge wink wink.
It is however being caused by a few people, what I can only think of as trying to mirror the site for some reason, they are;
- Lisbon, Portugal - 5144 pages - 15720 database requests
http://en.utrace.de/?query=a79-169-106-118.cpe.netcabo.pt
- Osaka, Japan - 1078 pages - 17590 database requests
http://en.utrace.de/?query=p3053-ipbfp604kyoto.kyoto.ocn.ne.jp
- Liberia - Costa Rica - 963 pages - 13660 database requests
http://en.utrace.de/?query=201.203.135.58
- Urayasu, Japan - DION (KDDI CORPORATION) - 876 pages - 14114 database requests
http://en.utrace.de/?query=kd125055105054.ppp-bb.dion.ne.jp
- London, England - 375 pages - 10193 database requests
http://en.utrace.de/?query=217.169.32.253
- Chongqing, China - 537 pages - 9002 database requests
http://en.utrace.de/?query=123.145.3.154
So, if you live in those places and you've tried to mirror the site or whatever it is you're doing, you've done more traffic and database access than 1,000 people and you caused it to be taken offline the other day, and might still cause it yet again,
Thanks for nothing,
Toby
- *edit* I've taken the monster list of games and the timeline offline for the moment, purely because they link out to so many things.
3.11.2011 - Site Stuff
- For those of you who have been around for a while, it might amuse/interest you to know that I finally have responsibility for my domain name!
I just renewed it for 10 years, should be no more random vanishing of the site every October, but admit it, you'll miss the 404!
- On the other hand, maybe not.
I'm suffering pretty badly at the moment with what I can only assume are site leechers/vampires/whatever, something's hammering the sites database pretty badly with between 40 and 60 requests a second, and my host took me offline yesterday because of it. I've even had a few people tell me they want to "back up" the site in case I may disappear, but that won't happen, well, unless you cause it by trying to back it up... /glare
So, I need to either; A: Fix the site so it doesn't do it (hopeful) B: Find those responsible and wreak a terrible vengeance (doubtful) C: Pay for my own dedicated server (very doubtful, mucho expensive) D: Consider trimming back certain portions of the site...
I want to do A (with the help of Arttu when he gets my email as I still know nothing about sql) but I'm worried I'll end up being forced into D...
Anyway, apart from the boring back end work on the site, I should get some sort of update up in the near future, I've started a new job so it's all been up in the air for the past few months but now things are starting to settle down :)
Cheers,
Toby
22.5.2011 - Board, Not Bored...
- So, well, Hurrah!, adding PCB pictures works again :)
- I've still got more to do, but this has made a fair dent in the pile and I wanted to concentrate on the PCB pictures at the top of the hardware pages for this update. I've got some higher res ones I'll be adding later on to flesh out the sections a bit, but I wanted to get this done this evening before Dirt 3 comes out on Tuesday and I get lost in that for a few weeks ;)
- Thanks to Guru and Tomas Dahlgren for contributing most of the pictures and in fantastic quality, also thanks to Nate Kinder, Per Monsen, Sergio Macias Sanchez, Jerôme and Robert Ivy. If I've forgotten someone I'm sorry, let me know and I'll add your name to the list.

Other Bits - My Geforce 8800 stopped working a while ago and I replaced it, but then I read something interesting on the web about repairing them so I thought "it's worth a shot".
So, 2 hours later, after stripping it down, cleaning it, removing every removable part from the pcb and the thermal compounds I stuck it on 4 rolled up foil balls and chucked it in the oven for 8 minutes (not too long as otherwise it'd melt the board) at 200-ish degrees, put it back together, redid the thermal paste and chucked it in a spare PC and it works like a charm! Basically it reflows the solder, the 8800's suffered terribly with very heavy heatsinks which literally pulled the components away from the board and fractured the solder joints, it's probably not a "forever" permenant fix, but it's left me with a functioning spare for any emergencys :) O, I take no responsibility if you try it and your house burns down btw.

- In other news I, like so many other people who know how to use PC's, got collared by a family member to fix their computer when it was not responding well...

Yes, that's 212 virus's.

Toby

20.3.2011 - Where's my boulder?
- I feel like Sisyphus, steadily trying to make a dent in my backlog...
- If you're wondering why there's no PCB picture updates, I've got some teething problems with that part of the site at the moment, it should be sorted out soon hopefully.
- I'm also going to do something about hardware split by manufacturer (at the moment there's a Naomi section in nearly every museum), not quite sure how, I have some ideas but I'm fed up with juggling them as I have to do at the moment, it's just...messy.
- I also made a Facebook page, there's a little "like" button down there on the left under the menu. I'm not sure why I've done this yet, but it seems to be the "in" thing to do, and I'm down with the kids, booyakka etc.
- I was going to write a rant about Wikipedia stealing all my content, contaminating the internet with made up information and pushing me down the search rankings, but they're not worth my time or effort, I'll just say "bah" and move on.
- On with the update...
