X360 Database Update

Posted in Uncategorized on January 21st, 2010 by Arkane

I’m working to get the X360 Database working to a better level now. People have often contacted me as of how to add games which aren’t in the database, so hopefully this should improve things for everyone.

I will be instituting a user system for editing. This is purely to prevent too much vandalism from occurring (yes, I have noticed it happening). Signup will be open, and everyone will have access to edit, and add new games, but some of the more frequent users will be given a higher access level to lock games which are often vandalised, or which have sufficient game info provided.

Should any user disagree with a mods decision to lock then they should contact me directly. Similarly, anyone who feels they should have this access may request it.

New Forums

Posted in Uncategorized on January 16th, 2010 by Arkane

I’ve now set up some forums on the site, using bbPress. This is mainly for testing and development of other sites for people, but it can’t hurt too much.

I’ll set up feature request threads for my scripts so that people needn’t email me all the time (unless I’ve dropped off the face of the planet and I am not replying again).

There not much to be seen there, and skinning it will be done at a later point, but for now, it’s here, and it appears to be working. Let me know if anyone thinks otherwise.

X360+ Update

Posted in Scripts, XBox 360 on November 2nd, 2009 by Arkane

There’s a new version of X360+ up for download.

This should improve games compatability, as well as giving a couple of new features – the ability to use boxart as DP, and notifications of contacts playing games.

This is to be considered a beta for the time being, so please notify me of any problems.

Site Update: Mk II

Posted in Uncategorized on November 2nd, 2009 by Arkane

Well, the site has been completely changed again. It’s now using WordPress, making it easier for me to make changes, and thus hopefully updating it more.

I’m still trying to modify the theme to my liking, and there may be a few kinks in it. If anyone find problem with it, please leave a comment to let me know.

Site Update

Thanks to the neverending efforts of Parisienne, aka ks.j from dot. Gaming, the site is getting a complete makeover. Basically meaning, that instead of the ugly, bastardised table I made, the site will actually look quite good for a change. As you can see, there are still a couple of kinks to work out, but I’m very happy with it for the most part.

X360 Database

Posted in Messenger Plus!, XBox 360 on October 26th, 2009 by Arkane

Some of you may already be familiar with X360+, a script I made to enable a small amount of interoperability between MSN Messenger, and the XBox 360. As the script is currently sitting in the coolpicks section of the Messenger Plus Scripts Database, I have launched my X360 Database to accompany it.

The reason for the database is to allow users to modify the results for the scripts, allowing a greater variety of images and messages than I would be capable of alone.

Currently, I have left the database as open access so anyone can edit it. Hopefully, doing it this way will mean more people will modify the database and will therefore give us much more varied and complete results. If however, the database becomes abused then I will instate a user system to keep it safe.

SCCheats Mirror

Posted in DS on May 23rd, 2009 by Arkane

Recently, JMR of SCCheats.co.uk announced that due to time and money constraints, he would no longer be able to maintain the site.

As this is obviously a great loss to SuperCard users, JMR has provided me with a backup of the site from August, which I am mirroring for any who still wish to access the cheats.

Unfortunately, due to my own time constraints, and lack of knowledge, I won’t be able to maintain the cheats database myself. I have however modified the site somewhat, as my own flagship to learn php. I have kept it as close to the original design as possible, and have no intention of changing this. I have however made the site easier for updating purposes.

Go to SuperCard.Arkanes-Arkade to get ahold of the cheats.
