MAME.net & MAMEWorld.net websites down
« on: March 09, 2007, 05:36:35 pm »
I've been trying to access these sites and I get the following error page.  Anybody know what is going on?  I can reach the Mamedev.org site but not the others.

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.mame.net/

The following error was encountered:

    * Unable to forward this request at this time.

This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

    * The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and
    * All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.

Your cache administrator is root.

It means that they're working on them at system admin level and have taken them offline to do that.

Update.... The whole of ZTNet.com where the mame sites are hosted is currently down. Probably for work to be done and possibly because of some sort of system crash.

It's been going up and down a lot lately.  I've been wanting to do some work on controls.dat and mame.net is one of the few places to get older versions that I need.  :hissy:

In case you haven't noticed, they put EVERY release on the mamedev site.
