As of Nov 12, 2025.

Super Smash Flash 2 0.8B is now the latest supported version of SSF2 through Ruffle! And any later versions are mostly functional up until you try to load into a fight. THIS IS PROGRESS!!! Before this, the newest version you could play was like 0.4 and any newer version wouldn’t get past the first loading screen (Not even to the SSF2 title!).

Good work Ruffle!

(As of the prior mentioned date this is the progress on the Ruffle Emulator.)

AVM 1:
Language 99%
API 80%

AVM 2:
Language 90%
API 77% (Still a bit yellow…)

Comment on How to recover your Yahoo! Groups from the Internet Archive by Thomas https://datahorde.org/how-to-recover-your-yahoo-groups-from-the-internet-archive/#comment-45738 Thu, 11 Sep 2025 20:20:52 +0000 https://datahorde.org/?p=2293#comment-45738 In reply to KarenV..

The only point of the CSV starting letter step seems to be to confirm the name of your group, in case you misremembered it.

Once you know it exactly, just reach for the regular archive.org search box — on the top right of the page, or in the centre on the front page (though not the Wayback Machine box that’s also on the front page) and get to the part where you type:

subject:”yahoo groups” myCoolGroupName

If your group is archived then that should get you to the unglamorously-named archive, e.g. the one I searched for ended up being in a collection called yahoo-groups-2016-09-24T16-36-18Z-81eae6. Then do the stuff it says above — hit ‘show all’ at the bottom of the download options, and grab the warc.gz file for your group. Then do the stuff above re: opening a WARC archive.

Comment on How to Archive or Scrape MediaFire Files using mf-dl by Anonymous https://datahorde.org/how-to-archive-or-scrape-mediafire-files-using-mf-dl/#comment-43679 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 17:17:32 +0000 https://datahorde.org/?p=2347#comment-43679 am
Hey there! I stumbled across this tool today and realized the download_link_prefix was having issues again, a little help from our new friend GPT and I have a working version now.

Make sure to install Beautifulsoup4 – `pip install beautifulsoup4`

In mfdl.py – Find the ‘find_direct_url’ function and replace it with this:

def find_direct_url(info_url):
rq = requests.get(info_url, headers=HTTP_HEADERS, timeout=TIMEOUT_T)
web_html = rq.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(web_html, ‘html.parser’)

# Find the download link
download_link = soup.find(‘a’, {‘class’: ‘input popsok’, ‘aria-label’: ‘Download file’})
if download_link is None:
return {“success”: 0}

direct_url = download_link[‘href’]

# Find the uploaded location
uploaded_from_tag = soup.find(‘p’, text=re.compile(‘This file was uploaded from ‘))
if uploaded_from_tag is None:
return {“url”: direct_url, “location”: “Unknown”, “success”: 1}

uploaded_from = uploaded_from_tag.text
location = uploaded_from.split(” on “)[0].replace(“This file was uploaded from “, “”)

return {“url”: direct_url, “location”: location, “success”: 1}

This uses BS4 to parse the webpage and look for the href download link we want, avoiding the manual way of just searching for the exact download_link_prefix. I would make a commit or merge, but it seems the 2 maintainers aren’t active on there anymore. Hope this helps anyone using the tool! Everything else in the tutorial (at least for downloading folders) should

Comment on How to recover your Yahoo! Groups from the Internet Archive by dm game https://datahorde.org/how-to-recover-your-yahoo-groups-from-the-internet-archive/#comment-43655 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 11:55:19 +0000 https://datahorde.org/?p=2293#comment-43655 Thank you for sharing this insightful post! I had completely forgotten about my old Yahoo! Groups and was pleasantly surprised to learn about the Internet Archive’s role in recovering them. Your step-by-step guide makes the process sound so accessible. I can’t wait to try it out and reconnect with some old discussions.
