Initial Data repo for switch dumps

Post by nitro322 »

At one point I was asked to upload a copy of the initial data area from my dumps to this repo:
https://gitlab.com/Madeline42/initial-area/

However, it looks like that repo hasn't been updated for a couple of years. Anyone know if there's another location I should use? or was it decided that it's no longer necessary to collect those files?

The metadata is still actively collected, but it's more prudent to simply attach them (as ZIP archives) when you make a Switch submission to the forum. Alternatively, you can encode their hex values in Base64 using https://cryptii.com/pipes/base64-to-hex

There are more up-to-date collections of Initial Area metadata nowadays that don't require external hosting on a repo.
