stHarry Archiving I just realized there are several (probably many) flashes by stHarry that are not archived even though they are 10-17 years old. I will post a few but I don't have the energy to go through all of them on his Japanese website. My file name structure is the following, if anybody wants to pitch in: <artist> - <google translation of name> (<original name>) <original filename>.swf Here's the page where I discovered unarchived flashes: http://stharry.x.fc2.com/index03.html I don't know if index03.html lists all his works but the page title is "倉庫", which translates to "Warehouse", so maybe it's a site map? To download the swf file just load the page it's on and hit CTRL+S and save as "web page, complete" (might need to retry the download in Firefox for some reason, at least I had to). You can check if it's on swfchan by searching >>"file-bytes", although re-uploading existing flashes with a more informative filename is probably a good idea if it's too much of a hassle to check if they are in the archive. Some of his works are multi-files (he had some kind of limit of 250kb per swf back in the day) but seems like they can be played standalone. Don't know if true for all multi-file flashes. If a flash has a number in the filename you need to manually check if a "2" or "3" version exists on his site by modifying URLs, CTRL+S only covers the first flash in the multi-file series. I've tried searching around for "stharry collection" or "stharry torrent" but can't find any so we could be at risk of his works disappearing. That stharry.x.fc2.com domain doesn't look like something reliable to stay up 10 more years and I kinda doubt web.archive.org have found 100% of his swf files (especially those multi-file flashes). |
