rockocalypse Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Please skip to the 2nd section if you don't care for theatrics and how I came to finding this out (I've no idea who bloody motaro is, I just used it to further cement my theory on getting eSnip chars) Background: I'm not sure if this is a known practice or not but I have found a way to scavenge SOME of the files from the infamous Esnips crash. These characters will remain out of reach no longer. So far, I have obtained a lot of final fantasy and kingdom heart characters along with Rayman (not the versions out and about now. Those I thought were inadequate .[Even though i'm aware that one is a W.I.P] This one is a big uprgrade on them.) And as I wrote I tried another called "bloody motaro". He/she too was saved from eSnips. The reason I talk like its this is some huge news release is because I feel it is. We can save countless characters and stages with this new opportunity of ours.Although I do wonder if it's even new at all. It certainly is simple and somewhat obvious of the workaround. Actually getting the character/stage: 1.Find a broken and lost esnip link for example Bloody Motaro's, right click it and go to "copy link address." 2. Go to this website https://archive.org/ and where it has a big button entitled "BROWSE HISTORY" 3. After pasting your url just click that Browse History button. 4. Click on one of the archived dates for your file.They will be highlighted in Blue once you get to the right page. Your download should start and you'll be on your way. Reply and tell me if it worked, if we knew about this already, and any problems you have doing this.

PlasmoidThunder Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Downloading from esnips is like inviting a friend over who brings a bunch of homeless druggies with him... ...you'll lose more than you gain.

Mr. KOtik Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 You know, this is a very common and well known practice for almost any dead website(except the ones with robots.txt). You must've been lucky for it to work because 95% of dead esnips links using this method will not give you the desired result.
Phantom Blood Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Best left dead Unless you like playing russian roulette Galvatron 1
Galvatron Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Hmph! I wouldn't take that risk after the experiance i had going to esnipes. No &%$#! Way!!! >=( MARVEL VS. TOUHOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rockocalypse Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 if the pages are all archived, then so are the files. So wouldn't it be safe to just go to an archived date BEFORE any of the viruses appeared? EDIT: It's not like your actually going to the site itself anyway. It's hosted by Archive.org, the URL is changed so that it contains Archive in it's name. It's quite literally only a screenshot of what the website looked like at the time with clickable links. I know sometimes on Esnips u would download a character or somethhing that would be a virus but, since archive is keeping the site as what it was when the screenshot was taken, going back before the viruses appeared can't do you any harm. Its like going back in time before an outbreak. The otubreak can't get you if it hadn't happened yet

My computer almost crash to oblivian where I thought I was going to lose everything and important Docs and files. Luckly I had a firewall that stop That Trojon-type Virus in its tracks but it was to close for comfort. Sorry but i have to agree with Phantom Blood and the others its best just leave it dead. Besides we have a rule in this Forum that forbids us linking, downloading, and uploading anything that deals with eSnips. MARVEL VS. TOUHOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PlasmoidThunder Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Is it wrong that I never actually experienced problems with eSnips prior to its collapse? Guess I got lucky then. Project LG said: God knows you shit out characters like a friggin' gumball machine.
Mr. KOtik Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Is it wrong that I never actually experienced problems with eSnips prior to its collapse? Guess I got lucky then. Same here, but then again i haven't used it since 2009.
JokerintheButt Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 well the facebook page of esnips is going on but his admin have posted Since in 2011. My Signature Fuck U :D I Don't Have one Asshole.
LightFlare_Da_Realest Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Same here, but then again i haven't used it since 2009. I'm not sure myself. I may have gotten viruses from there, but I might have gotten them from other sites as well. As far as I know, I had a good experience there. And got a ton of cool files. But that was before the crash... Do your best to become stronger. Become stronger, so you can do your best
