Since Discord ruined being able to freely download

¥ Mods
¥ Misc. Software
¥ Emulators/ROM packs
¥ Combo videos/tutorials
¥ various other content that used to be available freely on the web/forums/imageboards

I thought it might be a good idea to start attempting to archive this stuff elsewhere. Since it can be taken down at any time (and regularly is) by DMCAs against Discord. Furthermore, even if it stays on Discord for awhile it's impossible for people like me to access it. Since for some dumb reason every random 'server' for stuff like fighting game combo videos/strategy guides for characters for various fighting games are locked behind channels. The mods ALWAYS refuse to grant access to such places too if you request nicely. Since "LOL if you have no cell number you must be a troll".

I'll start. Here are two things that are had to find outside of discord now and I was luckily able to grab them from a burner account because the mods decided to unlock access this week and will probably close again tomorrow. Since no fun allowed.

¥ BlazBlue:CF (for PC) D-code reset: https://files.catbox.moe/foqjbx.zip

The above will allow you to reset your profile on the BB:CF servers when it eventually b0rks itself. As it will do if you play long enough. The community had to make this because the only other way is to request to have your save file reset on the steam forums. But Archsys fired the guy that used to do it so he hasn't been around in other two years now. Leaving tons of people unable to play the game online despite it working perfectly fine. I have offered to fix the glitch for them for years but they refuse to let anyone do it. Furthermore, when I tried to apply for that other guy's job they never responded to emails.

¥ The BlazBlue:CF improvement mod(s): https://files.catbox.moe/7n8amx.7z

This will give you various extra options in online play (opens many new modes) and improves the frame rate/graphics/unlocks match making outside of your own region.

Again, because the entire "community" moved to discord from the forums (and the mods are horrible) this is locked away inside of a discord chat now. The github links you'll find via search engines are horribly outdated now and do not work with recent versions.

There are two mods included. One is the main one and the other is some guy's minor modifications to that one. See the READMEs and .zip archives inside of the 7z for more information.

¥ Other stuff:

I was going to include a bunch of other things related to BlazBlue:CF here. But they're all locked behind private channels now and they refuse to let me join them no matter how nicely I ask.

If anyone is willing to go through the individual character so-called servers and verify with phone number+sucking mod cock I'd really appreciate it. As all combo videos, tutorials, strategy guides, match-ups etc. are locked away within those now. Instead of using the wiki and forums we so kindly set-up and funded for years these new players started discords. Now the wikis and forums have been left to rot. Aside from some guy that squats on pages for certain characters to correct their pronouns and start arguments in talk pages.

If you have any useful software for other games or just misc. software in general locked up behind discord please post them. A long with those early release emulator updates they refuse to share these days because they're begging for "donations" and other such nonsense.

If we get enough good stuff posted here I'll start a MEGA archive and XDCC post to ensure they aren't lost forever when these "servers" eventually get DMCA'd.

Discord was the worse thing that ever happened to software development and gaming I swear. Voice chat on games is barren waste land now. I get kicked out of L4D2 games all of the time for refusing to use a discord server to chat to pubs and a TON of software is beyond my reach thanks to them refusing to post it anywhere else.

Guides for other things welcomed too of course. So much is locked away on discord now and it'll soon be lost forever if we don't do something about it and start archiving it.

Yeah, discord has been extremely damaging not just to the free flow of information but also files. Scraping and hosting it all somewhere sounds amazing, but what an undertaking it would be. I'm sure people do it for porn somewhere since that's generally the great motivator of the internet.
If I need a file I'll go make a temporary account, download it, then be on my way. I've made no attempts to organize anything.
I wonder how much data discord is hosting right now.

Touhou - Spell Bubble + Switch emulator keys.

These took me awhile to track down when I wanted to play this game via emulation a couple of years ago. I am not sure if this has all the latest DLC since it's almost 2 year old version now. But it has a ton more than the first version I had and I *think* all characters are unlocked unless they added some more since I last checked.

This includes $500+ worth of DLC music for this game. I really wanted to support the creators on this game and was going to buy a console for it. But the prices they're charging for old 2hu songs is WAY too much. No way I can justify dropping $600+ on this game to get most of the songs I like.

I've never gotten a chance to play it online or even local multiplayer but I'd love to play with kissu sometimes if we can. I'm pretty sure it works fine despite not testing it ever. Since I haven't found anyone else I talk to on the internet that plays it.

This game is insanely fun. It's basically Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-Move with some new mechanics. Each song changes how the game plays. Since stuff is based upon tempo/beat and notes within each song. It's basically a rhythm game combined with old school Puzzle Bobble. Each character has multiple spell cards to pick to use against the other player. It's a vs. game and the goal is to clear the stages faster than the other person to score more points before the song ends.

I hate discord so fucking much.

Embed is short video showing off tempo/spell card mechanics and how you can send bubbles to the other player's side of the screen. Most games don't play out like this in vs. play since the uploader is playing on easy mode with 2 color bubbles instead of the usual 5-6 and is just beating up on CPU. But it's the best video for quickly showing off the mechanics I've seen.

Had to split into 14 parts, sorry. Catbox is the only place still around that doesn't make you jump through hoops to upload stuff and I'm running out of room on MEGA accounts lately. I'll try to make some more MEGA accounts soon so I don't have to split archives so much for these larger uploads.

Note: If the above is out of date I'll try to track down newer version soon with more added DLC. This version is current as of mid-2023. I was going to check but my copy of Yuzu no longer works so I need to figure out my emulator situation first. Another issue caused by using something developed exclusively on discord. ;/

Forgot I embedded a proper first to 10 match. No idea how good either player is haven't watched it yet. But it should be good enough to give you an idea of how game play works normally instead of a guy beating up on the CPU for fun.

I could try and go through the character discords later, do people really not update the dustloop pages anymore and just hoard stuff on discord?
On a side note, I'm very happy there are other blazblue players on kissu. Would love to play some time.

Yeah all the dustloop wiki pages are super out of date with combo guides and/or videos.

I just remembered what a pain it is to get split archives from catbox. You'll have to mass-rename these without changing file extension to extract this sorry. It's a pre-patched copy of the 2023 version of the game with all included DLC up until that point.

I'll try to make a MEGA soon to upload stuff in the future. Will use password "kissu" for everything I upload to avoid DMCA take downs.

Also if anyone could suggest good Switch emulator these days with online play please let me know. Going to have to troll through all the forks and different ones tomorrow to see which have the best online play. If we can get some people playing 2hu spell bubble it'd be fun to host a tournament for kissu and some friendly boards in the future.

It's _really_ fun game and you can run it on a potato

I don't have the start-up cash right now to spend on the VPSs and the $200 software I need. But I can whip up a forum+wiki+download database in like a weekend. Provided we can get a xenforo license and a place to host it. The up front cost wouldn't be that much money is just tight for me right now. Oh and of course we need a domain name as well.

If I wasn't so tight on money I would have started up something awhile ago. Of course we could always offload larger files to file hosting services and torrents to save some cash on hosting. I can whip up a torrent tracker that integrates with Xenforo no problem. I'm really good at php and everything else required.

We could do it off phpbb but it'd be a huge pain and frankly isn't as nice of a GUI or platform to build off of. Xenforo is easy to integrate with stuff like mediawiki and build custom stuff like torrent trackers off of. Even lets you have easy log-ins through other services (social media accounts) if whomever is signing up really wants to link his account like that.

Xenforo is what mangadex is built on top of.

 No.4879

>>4878
Oh and concerning Xenforo: It supports posting as anonymous by default. So I could quickly set something up where users could post as anon even if they needed to log-in to accounts for whatever reason. I could also allow fully anonymous posting without accounts.

I've probably rambled about it here before but I've been meaning to start up a place where otaku content could be hosted/discussed without dealing with all the modern problems of jumping through hoops to join "private" torrent trackers/communities or having to dox yourself to get into stuff like discord channels.

The main thing discord screwed up for everyone was killing off the web forums and wikis where all this information used to be hosted. I really hate discord's interface. It's horrible for threaded discussion and hosting files for download. Horrible for doing software development too.

Back to Xenforo: I could also easily integrate it with git. So we could have software dev/hosting with a better discussion platform/options than what places like githut/gitlab/etc offer.

Basically, you'd be able to make one account and it would be synced across the web git, mediawiki, forum/boards, torrent tracker and anything else. You would be able to register using a burner email and/or participate as fully anon if you want depending on how we set it up. Or be signed in but contribute under a name/tripcode when needed for one-off threads. You get the idea.

I have been seriously considering selling off a bunch of crap I haven't used in years now to get the ball rolling on something like this. Then hoping my own income improved soon or people would be willing to donate. I keep procrastinating but with how things are going online with these new laws I probably need to get more proactive about it.

I can set-up anti-ddos and our own CDN without resorting to cloudflare, google/AWS and similar services. Just need a handful of VPSs to hide the real server(s) behind. I'm also to the point now where I don't care if I have to dox myself to do all this. I've been putting it off because I planned to hide behind an anonymous LLC which could own the domain/servers. But that requires an extra couple of hundred dollars in upfront cost.

If anyone is seriously interested in helping starting something like this either with cash donations or helping out with code let me know.

Getting all of this information is far more annoying than I thought... I managed to get most relevant Akane Nishiki stuff, but going into the Arakune server all the information is so disorganised with 7+ years of questions and resources scattered in various channels covering all of his stuff. Some channels even appear to be purged so there's no way to get that information in the first place, would have to comb through tens of thousands of messages just to see what is relevant, duplicate etc...

Yeah it's bad in some of them. I'm mostly interested in Platinum/Rachel stuff. But the last time I tried both of them are locked down hard. They won't let you view anything without a cell phone number. When I politely asked to be given access anyway because I don't have a cell phone I got accused of being someone they'd banned before.

Here's all the stuff I gathered before losing motivation. Got Platinum and Rachel stuff for you. It's a real shame it isn't easier to acces.
