What happened to genesiscollective.com ??

[Vroomfunkel]

One of my most favoured resources .. and it has vanished! :(

Don't tell me it's gone for good. All that effort and all that information can't be allowed to just vanish!!

In other news .. does anyone know where I can find a front and back scan of the Rockman Megaworld cart?

Crap! I was just there a few days ago and it was still up. No idea what happened. I hope this isn't permanent. I love that site. :(

go to www.archive.org

Hopefully someone imputted it for archivation.

I noticed that a couple of days ago aswell. The front page has been buggy for a while, but it's all down now :(
Perhaps a little optimistic to hope it's down for an overhaul & solid update? :/

I've got the GCOffline (the whole GC database in a 24meg Windows Help file) which was previously there to download - if anyone wants a copy I could probably send you it.
(unfortunately it's only got screenshots and not the scans, so I van't help you out there, Joel)

[Vroomfunkel]

Isn't the guy who runs it a member here? I am sure he is, but I can't remember his handle ...

I contacted "snorter" a few weeks back about hosting Genesis Collective (we've worked together in the past and DP is the host of his offline package) but no reply.

The good news is that I have pretty much the entire contents of his site stored here locally, so all he has to do is say the word and I can flip it on. Also, I have the GC Offline files here (usually obtained thru a link on his site) upon request.

Oh dear :/

That don't sound too good .. I hope he is OK. Does anyone here know him 'in the real world' as it were? I guess it's maybe a bit rash to assume that he hasn't just got bored with the whole thing and moved on, but it does seem unlikely.

I remember him saying someone hacked into the site awhile ago. He just had a kid awhile ago too, so he most likely wont be back for a bit yet.

It is sad, I loved that site. I remember how happy I was to see such a giant site devoted to Genesis.

Here's Hank's thread from back in June: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36160

Sounds like he may well be busy with more important matters :)
Hopefully something can be sorted out with the site though - a re-vamped GenesisCollective in DP hands could be a beautiful thing!

[sega_16-bit_specialist]

Hi guys!

I have been using the Genesis Collective website for over a year now and was really disapointed when it was taken offline!

Has anyone got any of the content that can be sent to me (i.e screen shots, summaries of the games and also the box scans?)

Help me please

Thanks

Lea :(

[thegreatescape]

Most of what was on the site was also in the offline guides, except for either the screenshots or the boxart (cant remember which and im regretting not downloading it when i had the chance).
You can still get screenshots from http://vgmuseum.com but theyre only screenshots, none of the other stuff that made the collective cool like the scribes quirky comments or box art :(

welcome to the forum btw

[sega_16-bit_specialist]

Hope this can be sorted real soon as i am gutted that my fav MD website has gone!

I really hope that it has not gone forever i use the VGM as well but like you say it's not as good!

Bring back GENESIS COLLECTIVE PLEASE!

Lea

[suppafly]

I hope it returns soon...it was a good genesis website! (and there arent enough good genny sites arount)

[digitalpress]

I did hear back from Hank and he's doing fine and very busy with his recently expanded family :)

DP has been hosting the Collective offline for several years. You can grab that here:

[sega_16-bit_specialist]

Thanks for that will download it right away!

Any news on the website when it will be up and running again?

Any news is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Lea

[Melf]

It'd be nice to have it online again. There aren't enough Genesis sites around and I found it to be a great resource for release dates and developer info.

All of that stuff has been migrated to the DP database, so it's not lost!

We may be hosting the FULL collective someday, it's really up to Hank.

[Melf]

Yeah, I saw your link after I posted. I immediately downloaded the database!

Thanks! :)

[digitalpress]

I meant THIS DP database :)

Hey

I clicked on the link and it came up with a search engine! What am i suppose to do from here? I am really after the box scans that Collective Genesis had is there any chance of getting them in a file like the Genesis Collective offline?

I downloaded that before and it is great thanks for all your help!

Cheers

Genesis Collective got hacked using a SQL injection vulnerability in PHP Nuke. Thats what I get for not writing all the code myself, I guess.

The site has been hacked for a few months, but still working. It just recently refused to load. While I'm off over Christmas, I hope to have time to troubleshoot (and BOY, would I like to shoot the trouble that did this!).

The new little Snorter has kept me busy the last few months. With three little Snorters at home, as well as Mrs. Snorter, troubleshooting time may be limited. I also have a 32x update I wanted to do before the &*(^%#$@ hacked the site...

[Ed Oscuro]

Hey there Mr. Snorter, how's 2.0 doing? :) Sucks that happened; hope it's not too much trouble to get it back online.

At the ZIP archive - 22.1MB? I want the info but I feel guilty downloading all that at once O_O

Thanks, Joe!

[Vroomfunkel]

Well, I am glad to hear that it is technical matters and family prioritisaztion that is behind this, rather than some nasty disaster of some sort. Congrats on the new Snorter!!!

3 kids at home? I am amazed and - highly impressed - that you got it all up at all!!

Congrats again, and hope to see the site up and running again sometime, but first things first. Have a good Christmas!

Hey Snorter

How glad am i to hear you say that, there are some right twats in the World that just want to do stupid and mindless acts, like hacking into the best Genesis website!

Glad all is well and that the site will be up and running again. As i from the UK if you need more UK game cover scans, boxes, carts etc then give us a shout!

Happy Xmas everyone!

Any update? I really miss the site! :(

Guess I should pay my hosting fee now...

Have you tried getting straight from GC? (http://genesiscollective.com/download.php)

If that's not working, I'm pretty sure I've got a copy - PM me your email address and I'll send it over this evening...

[suppafly]

Sorry, double post! :/

Yes, I visited the "download" section from genesiscollective.com and it points to the same file that doesnt exist anymore. I´d appreciate if you could PLEASE send it to me!

My email addy is phantasystar@gmail.com

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help!

p.s. I might have somewhere to host the file too!

[anagrama]

No probs, I'll send it over once I'm back at home in a few hours...

[wangle]

megawangle@@miciah.com

I WILL host it as soon as I receive it too, dont worry. Thanks!

[anagrama]

Gah! I've just been trying to send it without much luck - I haven't got the original .zip file any more, and when I tried sending the individual files, Yahoo Mail just bounced them back to me and Gmail doesn't allow attachments composed of executable files.
Sorry man, looks like I can't help after all :/

Has anyone else still got the zip file with everything in?

How about compressing all the files to a few zip files of 1.44 MB each? It´d send much faster.

Thanks for your help

[wangle]

try split rars maybe

thanks anyway!

[wangle]

i guess its gone forever then :(

[-^Cro§Bow^-]

Here is the entire Genesis Collective Offline guide 1.5 that was available previously. It totals about 22mb as a single RAR file. I was gonna split this up into multiple 1.44 sized files, but...well..I didn't. Anyway, I won't leave it here for long. I will likely delete this shortly after T-Giving Holiday...so grab it while you can.

Removed the link as Supafly has it hosted now in smaller chunks. See his message a few posts down...

[suppafly]

thanks a lot!!

I will be hosting these files in a few hours...

thanks again!

[wangle]

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
thanks!

[Zilla]

Very cool. Thanks a bunch.

[suppafly]

Here are the links! I split the 22 MB file into smaller 5 MB chunks

http://www.e-galf.net/remates/part1.rar
http://www.e-galf.net/remates/part2.rar
http://www.e-galf.net/remates/part3.rar
http://www.e-galf.net/remates/part4.rar
http://www.e-galf.net/remates/part5.rar

Please LET ME KNOW if the download speed is allright, and if your download is succesful...thanks!

[-^Cro§Bow^-]

Only suggestion I have is that you rename those files to something more logical for those downloading instead of the defaults of part1...part2...etc.

And as I stated, I could have split this up easily, but honestly was lazy and didn't want to post 10 different links and upload 10 different files...hehe..

This version is still missing box art in most cases, and doesn't have as up to date Cheat codes for Game Genie and Action Replay carts as the site itself does. I really wish those items had been updated before the site went stagnant. Oh well...

[Ed Oscuro]

That signifies that these are seperate parts of a single RAR archive. You can't just rename them at a whim.

Yeah...I couldve renamed them with a more logical name like genesiscollective.r01, r02, r03 but that webhosting belongs to a friend. So I didnt want to make him mad when many people found the files in google.com and downladed them, using his bandwidth

This is kind of a just-for-DP-users` hosting :D
