Thank you for showing interest in my project.

I think ch@b is possible, but currently outside my capability. I'm positive it's the next logical extension of Dream Call, if someone can get it working. DP for PC exists, and maybe that could be another angle of apporach, too.

Regarding the project, everything I intended involves restoring existing material from the wayback machine. There's a large volume of content, and I estimate it may take as little as 5 years to meet my personal goals. Understanding and reverse engineering new/old services is a bit beyond my capabilities for now. Finally, I'm mildly concerned for the future of the web archive... as it's frequently targeted from both domestic spending cuts and foreign cyberattack.

Small update.

Polished up neogeo.co.jp slightly. I adopted their later menu design as the slim appearance fits in the DC browser window better. A fan mirror from another SNK superfan at https://neogeo.freeplaytech.com/ was invaluable for supplementing missing images. Both the "developments" and "body" product listings are packed with individual game pages. It's a real shame SNK went down at the same time as SEGA. Yet, nobody recommends they release a DVD player.

Advanced Daisenryaku file page now has the keys and staff scenarios. I circumvented the browser restriction so anyone can download the files.

Next project is KID. It's a large site again with many spinoff pages for PSX/PS2, but I think it's worthwhile as there are also several DC titles. Due to the large scale, it may be some time before the next update.

In the meantime, there's something new on the homepage... It's something small that can grow in time. Check it out: http://kamui.cool
