Is there a way to see historic records, run comments, and with links to videos?

Are newer videos supposed to be on archive.org?
I checked a few 2011-2015 vids here:
http://speeddemosarchive.com/Starcraft.html
The archive.org links lead to "Page not found". Only the local mirror is functional.

I'm addicted to games

In the case of Staracraft, the runs at the time went to archive.org and the page is @ http://archive.org/details/2012-03-02-SDA_Speed_Runs/ and the one run from 2015 is not on archive. Unfortunately when one level from a whole table is improved like that, the method of how demo.pl finds things on archive can't handle the updated run, that's why you get a 404.

The run comments are not copied to the archive.org pages, just the files.

Thanks.

Keeping the old comments would also be worthwhile.

Exoray

For all runs submitted after September 2012, all comments are in fact intact in the database even when they are obsoleted. There's currently no way to display those at the moment but it's really something I'd like to see in the future, each game page having browsable history with complete links to old archive items.

PS: For runs obsoleted 2011 or later I still have all old pages on my hard drive, in case you were looking for some specific comments.

Hi, everyone.

I've been compiling every SDA accepted record of the NES game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. I've found and downloaded almost every submission that has been on the page at least one point. There are a few that I just can't find on archive.org for the life of me.

https://archive.org/download/2017-04-14-SDA_Speed_Runs <--- These are the ones I have found, which is probably close to 90% of them. However, runs such as 'KHANaphone' 's Don Flamenco 2 1:23.82 I cannot find, and other ones like Zallard's 2:17 on Tyson, 2:17.25 on Sandman, or Sinister's 46.61 on Piston Honda 2. Were these ones just never archived? If someone can confirm to me that at least every run of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out that's ever been on SDA is on archive.org, and that I'm not wasting my time trying to find something that's no longer on the internet, then that would be enough.

I could just try to download those runs on Twitch, but I just want them all as they were when they were submitted on this website. Thanks!

Archived gamepages might have old run comments, e.g. this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20150206113038/http://speeddemosarchive.com/PunchOut.html

As for the videos... http://dl.speeddemosarchive.com/archive.txt shows you the list of all the batches, i.e. publications listed with the date of their corresponding update, which is obviously some time after the run was completed and submitted. See which batches had Punch-Out runs and look for a corresponding entry of SDA runs on archive.org. The date of the archive.org entry might not be exactly the same but should be similar.

If you still can't find everything, ask again.
