A new section has joined the main site, forum, and wiki here at arcadecontrols.com -- the File Repository! The file repository is a place to host arcade, pinball, and build-your-own related documentation, guides, pinouts, backdoor sheets, manuals, etc -- things to help the coin-op collector and the build-your-own hobbiest alike. There's a lot of great information floating around out there on the net, but sometimes it can be hard to find or a site that you used to use has gone offline (this was prompted, by the way, by Geocities shutting down). BYOAC has been here for over 11 years now and won't be going away anytime soon. I hope providing a repository here will prove useful to the various communities. I'm not interested in hosting arcade artwork (other than instruction cards, which I really consider documentation more than artwork), or ROMs, or warez of any kind of course. I'm open to suggestions on other categories of files to host, please let me know. Anyone can upload and download files. Uploaded files will not be visible or downloadable until verified and approved by an admin. Registered users can vote, comment, and email postcards of files hosted on the site. User accounts are not related to the forum accounts, though I suggest you make them the same for simplicity. Site's still in beta. The theme will be changing, and I hope to implement thumbnails shortly. Right now thumbnails are generic icons, but once implemented the thumbnails will be actual representations of the various files. So far about 5 gigs online. Comments and feedback welcomed! |

Instruction cards: standard only or do custom count? |
| saint:
Custom should probably go under Build Your Own, but fire away either way :) |
| Ken Layton:
Don't forget that GOTTLIEB manuals cannot be uploaded as they are under copyright by Gottlieb Development LLC. |

Thanks Ken - will check to see if I have any of those. I'm operating under the assumption that most arcade manufacturers won't object to operations/repair manuals being available, but will of course be mindful of those who are. No Randy Fromm stuff either, for instance, even the stuff he once freely released (per his request). |
