New Archive File

Since MegaUpload went down, a new game archive file has to be posted somewhere.  It doesn't include just games anymore, but anything Toonami or Cartoon Network-related.  Most items were found in the Internet Archive, but an English copy of Hi-Hi Puffy Treasure Island and a Megas XLR game were retrieved from foreign Cartoon Network websites.

Mediafire should be a good host for now:

Some new content in the archive includes:
Batman & Superman Adventures:  World's Finest:  Gauntlet of Doom.
A Megas XLR game (Final Battle -- from a non-U.S. Cartoon Network website).
A Moltar comic (from http://nightmare-hq.com/Toonami/).
A Transformers game from the Toonami UK website (Battle for Megatron).
A Teen Titans game (Battle Blitz).
Hi-Hi Puffy Treasure Island and Ninja Rock (Not Toonami, but some fun games).
Scuba Jo-Jo game from the Powerpuff Girls.

Plus any non-game content that wasn't included in the earlier version.

Ads & Mission to Namek (Maybe) Fixed

Apparently 000webhost puts up ads when I haven't logged in for a long time.

This is a problem as I used iFrames to load the games into the webpages.

If this ever happens again, just go to http://lostdata.comuv.com/~games/

That directory leads to (most) every game.

And the Mission to Namek game may be fixed. Someone found a non-buggy version. And all I had to do was check the comment spam folder. And re-discover my FTP login credentials.

Anyhow:

Computer Troubles

Been having some computer troubles lately, so it's difficult to work through all the current tasks/problems.  It's delayed my work on all Bash and AviSynth scripts as well as updates to the Reactor.

I may have to replace said computer, but it's a good thing the holidays are coming up.  There could be a good deal on a fairly basic desktop.

Accident #1

I think I accidentally deleted someone's comment.  It was whoever mentioned "wee".

Background Changes

Made some changes to the blog that has broken all previous Bookmarks/links. I didn't really want to, but had to do it.

So Much for Trapped in Hyperspace

I tried contacting Pepworks.de to see if they would send me a copy of Trapped in Hyperspace. No such luck. They only give copies to the customer. That would mean contacting someone from CartoonNetwork.com and obtaining it. That just doesn't seem very likely.

Oh, well.

That Was Good Timing

Not two weeks after those backups, the Toonami.co.uk website is history.

(I'm not too concerned about not backing up Justice League, Batman, and Samurai Jack games as those tend to get picked up by the Internet Archive or are duplicated on various websites.)

And before anyone asks, a lot of those other games (such as the Lego Mars Mission) were broken by the time I got there. It turns out the Mission to Mars game is on Lego's website anyway.

Guess I'll prepare to add the UK games and Planetary Forces to Lost Data.

Other Games Backed Up

Although not added to the Lost Data website just yet, several games have been backed up:

• Some He-Man games from the Toonami UK website.
• The Clone Wars (the five-minute short series) game Planetary Forces, also from the Toonami UK website.
• All the Naruto games from the Cartoon Network website.
  

Given the news that Naruto Shippuden will air on Disney XD and that Naruto itself hasn't aired properly on Cartoon Network in months, there is a great risk CN will eventually remove the games. I may put the games up for a test period to make sure they are all functioning.

The He-Man games apparently never appeared on the United States Toonami website. It's one of those UK-only games similar to the Megas XLR game.

I don't know if the Planetary Forces game is playable anywhere else, though I have seen some of the files in the Internet Archive. Just in case, I've backed it up.

Launch

This is the blog that corresponds to the website Toonami: Lost Data. The reason for setting up a separate blog is three-fold:

1.) I can't be bothered to maintain a blog on a free webhost. The security and maintenance issues are too much of a pain. I even chose cmSimple for the content management on Lost Data because it didn't use a database.
2.) I actually want to run feedback via the blog rather than email or web forums.
3.) Search engines don't seem to have the actual Lost Data site ranked highly. You'd think a site offering games so many people have searched for would be easily found. Hopefully, people will actually be able to find these Toonami games now.

Of course, sites such as Blogger don't allow unlimited uploading and file management, thus necessitating the need for a free webhost. Tracking forum discussions is too much work and someone of them have disappeared (such as Toon Zone's Toonami/X Bridge board).

Anyway, initial posts will consist of games already found, while adding whatever else I'm working on. I may also transition into Adult Swim and other Cartoon Network games/web content.

(P.S. Someone should harass Williams Street into giving me the Trapped in Hyperspace game.)
