Thank you for doing this Saint.  I liked the information that Oscar had about trackballs and spinners.  I  own one of his Vortex spinners and I wouldn't want any other.  If possible I'd like to see his arcade cabinets "Happy Hour" and "Gotham MAME"

TTFN :cheers:

Cool.  There was a lot of good stuff there it'd be a shame to lose.

You might want to fix the links on the downloads page.  They still point to the old site.

Gotham: http://mirrors.arcadecontrols.com/www.oscarcontrols.com/unnamed/
Database link updated.

Link to the external volume control needs fixing. (Second Paragraph)  The link to the power system would also be a good page to archive if possible.  This covers the one button power solution very well.

That's great Saint!! Oscar always had some really useful information on his site. 

One thing you need to look at though, is that clicking on the pictures in the articles to enlarge them results in no picture being displayed. The Java Script seems to be broken.

Best Regards,

Saint... any chance the lazarus and rd pages are in that junk?  If not then I need to contact Kelsey and see if he has a backup.  Curse me and my inability to take the time to make copies of anything.  ;)

I don't have them in that mirror, but it's possible I have a mirror of them elsewhere. What were the exact URLs?

Let me know if you need hosting space :)

I'll check at home, but it looks like archive.org has you covered...

Looks like some of the pics on removing ls-30 joysticks (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=13028.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=13028.0)) are not mirrored?  That was some great info, do you know if they're somewhere else?
