[Audyssey] Optional accessible games mirror?
Hi everyone, As part of USA Games recent upgrade USA Games now has quite a bit of bandwidth and disk space for games. Actually, more space than I need for my own projects right now. What I have been thinking of doing is setting up a more or less centralized mirror page on my web site were you can download games from PB Games, GMA Games, L-Works, BSC Games, etc. It would act not only as a repository for abandoned accessible games, but a mirror for accessible games in general. What do you guys think? One note before I mirror a developers software though I'd like to have permission from the developers involved just so I don't share anything they don't want to have redistributed or mirrored. While I know there is Audiogames.net I'm not sure how often that gets updated. There is a lot of broken links and outdated information on the sight which is confusing if you are not up to date with changes in the audio games community. So send me your feedback.

Re: [Audyssey] Optional accessible games mirror?
Hi Tom. with reguards to audiogames.net, it is actually being updated at the moment, and will hopefully be both completely up to date and able to keep up with community changes soon. but obviously sinse it's not been updated for a while there's a fair amount of work to be done. Hopefully in a few weeks there should be pages for most games with download links and descriptions and such, - but it is quite a task stil. Just to clarrify, the download links on the game pages are mostly links to download the files from the appropriate sites, and like everything else they are being updated. there are plans in the works I believe to host old games like the Pb stuff, Simon's games from http://www.simonsgames.com/news.php and some others, obtaining old versions of abandoned games where possible as well. About the mirror, I think it's a good idea if you've got the space, sinse A, I'm not sure when things on audiogames.ent will be running smoothly, and you can never be too careful with these things, and as munawar said mirrors could be great for devs and others amd file hosting (blind cool tech stil! haven't posted my long Smugglers 3 review, and I'd love to hoast it somewhere), not to mention quicker downloads. Also, if you've got perminant web space, perhaps you could considder hosting the superdeakout scoreboards, and the word list databases for search party and chain link, so that people will stil be able to submit scores and make and share new word chains etc, of course this is assuming that changing the program to point to Usa games rather than DanZ games wouldn't be too much trouble (I was assuming you could just cp the address, but I'm not sure). Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Optional accessible games mirror?
Hi, This idea sounds awesome to me. Indeed we need more mirrors for audigames so that the primary developer's bandwidth can be conserved a bit more which would cut down on server costs. Also for people who are closer to the mirrors than the main site, it would be a quicker download in most cases. So I say go for it. Munawar A.

Re: [Audyssey] Optional accessible games mirror?
Hi Dark, I am not sure, but I think the web site addresses etc are built into the binaries for Dan's games. They would require some access to the source code.,and a VB 6 compiler.

Re: [Audyssey] Optional accessible games mirror?
Hi Thomas, Yes, we're doing a lot of updating at the moment thanks to the help of our *brandnew* website moderators Dark and CX2. Dark recently made a huge inventory of all broken links and is working very hard to fix them! We are currently discussing new functionality on the website and have plans for expanding the game pages with more functionality - we actually discussed mirror downloads on the game pages this week :) We'd be very happy to be a host of mirror downloads for all audio games.

that would be cool tom. It would also be cool to have another place where we could have the game play recordings.
