Missing SMBX Episodes Thread, And How I Could Recover them

Phil Morris · Postby **Phil Morris** » Tue May 12, 2015 7:39 am

No need for introductions as I've been here since the beginning. In 2012 I left for a while due to IRL stuff.
I was looking through the SMBX Wiki lately and seen this http://www.smbxgame.com/wiki/Lis ... X_Episodes
It looks largely incomplete and I am aware of many more SMBX episodes, demos, levels and unfinished projects that aren't listed.
Assuming this isn't out of date, what is the archival status of SMBX episodes like? Is there any reliable sources regarding the history of SMBX episodes/levels/etc. ?

I have old computers lying around in the attic which could potentially have pretty much every SMBX item produced by the forums from 2009 to 2011/12. I used to download everything at once but I'm unsure if it's worth looking for because the hard drives may have been wiped.

I will search on!

Look, if it is at all possible to recover anything SMBX-wise, I'm sure it would not be in vain. There are a few episodes and content in general that are gone forever basically, unless someone does still have them stored somewhere. If you do happen to browse those hard drives and come up with anything at all it would more than likely be appreciated by many people. As far as archiving goes, I've been thinking up a few ideas along the lines of a proper SMBX content archive, though none exist at present. The closest thing to that is Wohlstand's SMBX/PGE GitHub account which has the older versions of SMBX and a small number of other, more modern things.

Heh, I think we should just try to find fully completed SMBX Episodes, it'd be just impossible to put there every project there.

The first invasion is alredy on nsmbx and even mfgg (with the first version of SMBX).

It wouldn't be impossible to do, however, finding every single episode ever made for SMBX would be a different story.

"finding every single episode ever made for SMBX would be a different story."

I should have everything from 2009 to 2011/12 at least... after that, I'm not too sure if everything will exist.

While I guess we could list every episode we find, I can expect at least one creator probably had second thoughts about their own episode and would not have it listed (though I would also think that's only a very small percentage).

Well, I'd say a lot of the users who are here could probably bridge the 2012 onwards gap. But as I said before, if you can successfully access any older SMBX content and recover it, it would be put to good use by most of the community.

Do you happen to have the, or a, demo of XerX/Rexx/Blank/Megamario1996's W.I.P. episode The Golden Shrooms?

*(My copy has issues working properly, if bossedit8's playthrough is any indication. That's assuming he downloaded the same copy I provided at SMBXR, which is... possible since he started uploading them roughly after I did that.)
