Sunday, June 19, 2022. Hey all archivist, chiptunests, and chiptune listeners near and far! Sorry that I haven't wrote back much, I found an .nsf upload site and while the boards aren't accessible and I had to remember an image for the download button, I think I finally archived all of the site manually. Now it may have some errors and duplicates, but I'll be sure to check them and remove them every now and again. Anyways, the link is http://nsf.nesbbs.com/#/ Shouts to all creaters of original music and cover artists once again! The folder is in the rute/NSF Small Station. 
Wednesday, June 29, 2022. I added the latest versions of hvsc and mrnorbert1994's .hes archive as well as updated nsf small station with some more music. They're all in rute/ hes.rar, HVSC_77-all-of-them.7z, and NSF Small Station respectfully. 
Wednesday, July 6, 2022. Hey all chiptune listeners, lovers and collectors near and far! I want to start off with some good news, we now have another artist who genorously donated his chiptunes to the archive. Say hello to rayjkayj! He will be in the rute/tuca archive/rayjkayj. Next order of archival. Soon I will be updating the chiptune software, plugins for Winamp, Foobar2000, and Xmplay. And next, I updated nsf small station with some new tunes. Finally, I will be updating some of the artists in tuca like Burnt Fishy, TrojanHorse711 and so on. Thanks again to @rayjkayj for the music! 


Friday, March 10, 2023. Hey all chiptune listeners and lovers near and far! I know I know, it's been a long ass time since I wrote anything here, but fear not, the archive isn't dead! infact it's far from it. Nsf small station has 2518 tracks now, and thanks to the work of an awesome person from Japan, they managed to post there collection of mdx, pmd, and dos fm music just before there service web crawl, got shut down. Also an awesome user of the internet archive named AliasedTexture uploaded his mmlshare crawl and it's just what I thought it would be, awesome! As well as that news is, there's this place on the internet called the tokugawa forums, that talk and share about Japanese computing and even more awesome, the music! I'm looking for a user from the forums called Snakemeat, to ask him where he got the far out music and if he still collects chiptune and Japanese computer music today? 
The work on archiving sites like lsdsng and even the famitracker forums has not ended, I still actually have plans to have full archives at some point. As for sites like mck2ch I think Mister Toko did a good job with it and even if he should stop paying the site bill, it'll be archived for everyone. Anyway that's all for this update I think, enjoy! 


Friday, July 14, 2023. Woohoo, there's loads of stuff in this log, so let's go! I have started to archive the really awesome website that is lsdsng again as well as also starting to archive some of the Famitracker website. 
As you all know, the forums had fallen off the grid some time in April and while there are some efforts to preserve the contents of the site by @fusoxide and @Manonow, I can't help but think that some parts of the site are still gone, and so far it doesn't look like anyone is doing gods work to go through the wayback machine and plunge the archive together. I'd do it myself but sadly I can only archive one website at a time. 
And speaking of websites the site of lsdsng.com looks to demand my full attention at the moment, as it's going to take a lot of time to go through the spam hell of the site and get all the not spam .lsdsng files. I managed to spend a night or 2 going through the site and I'm glad to say that for the most part I'm through the spamfest, and I look to only have about 6 pages left or so. 
In other news we now have another battle to the botb archive, TINYMOD GRANDPRIX. Nsf small station is hitting at 2615 files, I hope we hit 3000 soon. 
The OPL archive by MrKsoft has been added and is a nice idea to do gods work. I need to help him as soon as I can find a way to log the music to vgm with accessibility software. I need to do some work with Tuca and the pxtone project, sadly the latter has a lot more music every day than I can just archive alone. If anyone has a script or something that could help me archive the site let me know, I really need it! 
Your usual mirrors like HVSC and the like are kept up to date as much as can be, and I'll see how archiving goes with botb as the site has lost there .org for a while now. Also for the lols I have a files from nico nico Douga folder in the archive now too, so have at it! 
That's about all that I can think of for now, so see you till the next log!
