There is an ftp site for RGVA information. It is located at wiretap.spies.com. Look in the game_archive directory. There are currently directories for the cheat sheet (cheatList), a directory for the KLOV (gameList), a directory for repair hints (repairHints), and a directory for all the games hints sheets. As well as a bunch of other stuff. Andy Eddy, of GamePro magazine, also maintains an ftp site at netcom.com. Look in the pub/vidgames directory. The pub/vidgames/faq directory contains a mirror image of the Mailserver files, so you can ftp anything listed in the following Mailserver section directly from netcom.com. Please use ftp if at all possible ... The following two mailserver sites use email as their transport -- any messages they serve eat up time used by Georgia State's or my Fidonet BBS' mailing systems. 240 MKII requests a day tends to slow things down quite a bit. I have revamped the RGVA mailserver ... there are now two addresses -- one is for hints sheets, the other mainly for technical info. Use the following charts for help : SITE 1 : Address : musjndx@gsusgi2.gsu.edu (yes ... my email addr ... ELM filters rock!) Format : "Send " *** CASE IS IMPORTANT *** (This *is* unix ...) Send *must* be the SUBJECT of your message ... if you put it in the text body, I cannot process your message. Example : Subject: Send mk2 Keyword Description ------- ----------- auction Steve Ofoz's "Buying from an Auction" faq cheats The latest copy of the Definitive Arcade Games Cheat Sheet help The RGVA Mailserver and FTP guide (from the FAQ) klov The latest copy of the Killer List of Video Games mk The Mortal Kombat moves sheet mk2 The Mortal Kombat II moves sheet nba The NBA JAMS moves/secrets sheet operator Steve Ofoz's "Buying from an operator" faq rampart The Rampart help sheet faq The rec.games.video.arcade Frequently Asked Questions list samurai The Samurai Showdown moves/hints sheet sf2 faq The Street Fighter II FAQ sheet sf2 ken The Street Fighter II Ken FAQ sf2 moves The Street Fighter II Moves sheet ssf2 The Super Street Fighter II FAQ and moves sheet t2 The Terminator 2 help sheet Please note that the cheat sheet and the klov are VERY LARGE ... if your system or mailer can't handle 100kb+ messages, they will bounce and be returned to me as undeliverable. Undeliverable messages will be killed. I have been having problems with my filter lately, so if you don't get a file you requested within 24 hours, please email me and let me know ... Site 2 : Address : rgva@gisatl.fidonet.org Format : "Request " in subject, "Mail-to: " in text body. The mail-to line is most important ... gisatl.fidonet.org gets uucp bangpaths for addresses and needs internet addresses for outbound mail. Use the following keywords for your requests : Keyword Post ------- ------------------------------------------------ help This posting (ie ... instructions). pinouts A list of the current entries in the pinouts/switches archive. cheats Directions on where to ftp the Cheat Sheet. manufacturer The list of arcade games manufacturers. parts The list of sources for arcade games parts. nostalgia The folklore list of easter eggs and other things in old games. Again, include the following line in the text body of your message : Mail-to: Requests without this line cannot be honored as my inbound UUCP mailer DOES NOT pass incoming Internet addresses in any usable form. You can also request entries in the Pinouts/Switches archive. Simply use the filename for the entry you want (request the pinouts post for details on filenames) as the keyword and follow the instructions above.
