I've been trying to find all the content that was on there to put it up again, I even had it on an external but as the rule states; 'Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." and so that drive is unreadable. How many gb of content did Local Arcade have anyway?

I have some programs to help get the files off hard drive
send me a PM.

The drive has already gone through a professional recovery process, Most of the information was unrecoverable, that includes the local arcade images.

Who runs local arcade anyway, I can just host a page if necessary. If anyone has most or all of the art, let me know and we can set something up.

Zorg has as much of the art as anybody and it is already hosted.

Found an alternative in the interim:

http://vectorlib.free.fr/

And here is the Mame Multi files on that site:
http://vectorlib2.free.fr/Mame/

Sirwoogie is a member here (did you read the thread ?) and I'm sure will turn his attention to it when he has a chance.

Alpha17X · « **Reply #46 on:** June 28, 2010, 02:50:16 pm »

cool, yeah I know about vectorlib and I read some other thread about it a few months back. I'm looking more to bring it back as it was, site and all.

This needs another bump!

sirwoogie · « **Reply #49 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:53:15 am »

This is still a bit rough around the edges as I've upgraded the 4images software, so I may have introduced a some bugs into the site. However, I have it all running as it was prior to it going dark. I've moved it to a new domain because that old domain just had to much spam and junk associated with it.

The new address is:

http://arcadeartlibrary.com/

I will go through the forum and change any of the links to go there instead.

THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!

rbarr110 · « **Reply #53 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:13:34 pm »

This is great... I have been looking for various art files for a long time that I knew were part of the library before it dissappeared. So happy it is back.

extendedplayarcade · « **Reply #54 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:43:13 pm »

Just an FYI the site link isn't working.

It worked when I posted, but now, not so much.

saint · « **Reply #56 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:58:56 pm »

I logged in a few minutes ago but it's down at the moment.

sirwoogie · « **Reply #57 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:59:44 pm »

Yeah, no sooner than I tell everybody it's up, the system takes a kernel fail (first one I've had in 7 years). I am having them power-cycle it.

Nevertheless, thank you Sirwoogie!!!! Looking forward to it being fully operational!

So....a day later and still nothing.....

bkenobi · « **Reply #60 on:** August 20, 2010, 06:52:35 pm »

<checks calendar> Nope, today isn't April 2.

sirwoogie · « **Reply #61 on:** August 21, 2010, 09:28:17 pm »

FYI, my box is still dead at the moment. The hard drive is starting to go, and I'm in the process of moving to a new host. Rock solid for 6 years, and then boom.

We feel your pain. Loosing hard drives....well it sucks.

sirwoogie · « **Reply #63 on:** August 25, 2010, 12:07:37 pm »

Back online. Moved to a new host that should be more reliable (knock on wood).

JustMichael · « **Reply #64 on:** August 25, 2010, 12:42:27 pm »

What registrar is it registered with? I ask because a couple of different ones said GoDaddy and that it is pending delete. I then went to GoDaddy and they say localarcade.com isn't in the database and it is pending delete.

sirwoogie · « **Reply #65 on:** August 25, 2010, 12:45:57 pm »

It isn't localarcade.com anymore

I now have this at arcadeartlibrary.com

BobA · « **Reply #66 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:00:02 pm »

Thanks Sirwoogie. Working good for me (fingers crossed).

bkenobi · « **Reply #67 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:14:13 pm »

Good stuff. Thanks!

EvilNuff · « **Reply #68 on:** August 25, 2010, 03:53:42 pm »

I had a number of humorous responses for sirwoogie here...but they do not do justice to the appreciation I have for bringing back that artwork.

Thank you.

Triangel7D · « **Reply #69 on:** August 25, 2010, 04:46:49 pm »

Big thanks from over here too, sirwoogie. And just in time for me to make my instruction card (found some good stuff!).

And it's so much faster than before!

Turnarcades · « **Reply #70 on:** August 25, 2010, 09:28:19 pm »

Brilliant news and thanks for the heads up. Hopefully now someone with web space going spare could offer to mirror the repo in the event of slowdowns or go-downs.

Yes, perhaps. One of my first thoughts here is to offer a nightly or weekly zip file of the entire art directory. My other alternative is to get a torrent of it going to crowdsource the content.

EvilNuff · « **Reply #72 on:** August 26, 2010, 01:22:17 am »

Torrent it IMO...torrents are fantastic for things just like this.

push2reject · « **Reply #73 on:** September 10, 2010, 09:21:39 am »

Bumptastic news folks!

+1 I would love to see a torrent for this.

spystyle · « **Reply #75 on:** September 22, 2011, 01:36:21 am »

Hey that's a good idea

It saves bandwidth because torrents are spread by users

Here is "http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/" complete from September 19 2011

It's about 2.3 GB

Also "http://vectorlib.free.fr/" complete from September 21 2011

Weighing in at 721 MB

RAR'd for a total of 2.65 GB

Let's all seed it, it will be slow at first but eventually will gain speed as more people start seeding.

Try downloading it from here :

We need more seeders

dextercf · « **Reply #77 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:33:23 pm »

This is one of the torrents I'm going to keep in my transmission for seeding purposes.
Thanks alot for the torrent guys!

Trying to help, but no-one on the torrent.
