Misc Looking for Nintendo Video data

[pancakee]

Hello, I'm currently looking to analyze Nintendo Video data, but it being 2022 and all, I'm having trouble finding backups made before it's discontinuation in 2015.

There are two specific types I'm trying to find - Spotpass data downloaded directly from Nintendo's servers (Usually with a region-specific filename such as ESP_MD, ESE_MD, ESJ_MD and EWP_MD, each numbered 1 through 4) and Nintendo Video data backed up after having been saved to an SD card.

So far I've only been able to find 3 Spotpass backups, so if anyone happens to have something kicking around on an old hard drive somewhere, I'd really appreciate the addition.

Thanks

Hello, quick question: You have 2 ESE_MD1 files and 1 ESE_MD4 only, right? There are many, many people online that I can't contact them all of them but I have tried contacting many people anyway. Here are some links:

The last website disabled registrations for some reason but there are 2 people who are involved in trying a public dns for their community to experience nintendo video at the time. They are both online (saw them online yesterday)

But their usernames are not so special nor did they provide other means of contact so I couldn't contact them at all, YET.

I found someone called "Luigi2us" who happens to also be "Luigi__" but no other info besides 3dbrew (they edited the discussion page back then) page and ngemu page as Luigi__ and in that page, they linked their website as kuribo64.net but they havent been online since 2014 sadly and no info on kuribo64.net yet...

From the 3dbrew page I found the user "duke srg" by a lot of google searching and eventually landed on 2 potential profiles...

First one: https://github.com/dukesrg/dukesrg.github.io

Second one (sorry, i dont know how to remove that huge embed so i made it not so linky instead): from https://gist.github DOT com/jfmherokiller/e5ac66a466b21cf31878a1a2d64f802f#file-nzone-sh-L54 (notice the line 54) and from there to a simple google will eventually lead you to https://twitter.com/jfmfox (requires you to pay for a funny tick if you wanna dm them -- or try steam i guess, good luck)

I keep trying... I will keep trying to contact everyone involved in this. Oh, one more thing. I also found someone on twitter by similar tracking methods and contacted them with no luck (unless they found it now, still waiting)

Well, I wish @popoffka just responded with files magically lol. (I don't know how pings work here)
