Looks like the physical cartridge Chad wins again
Are you winning son? Oh 0 files? What's that mean? High score?

They are a poster from a Chinese scanning forum. This is what Google translate makes of their post about this month's uploads:

>Stormy Wolf Strategy Newsletter 3: Issues 7-9 (May 9th-June 8th, 2002)
>These are the three books that were missed last month. You know the quality of the late gust of wind.........
>WEEKLY Famitsu 7 books: 1043~1050 issues
>This month, I’ve been scanning Famitsu. Although there are only seven books, there are a lot of pages.
>It takes about 3 copies of Hayate to get one copy of Fumitsu. There is no 1047 (and 1048 are made into a combined number).
>Sometimes a special number (Special) is inserted in the draft. The number of magazine issues scanned is still online.
>Now only the magazine of the current month is left, the previous ones will be deleted,
I>f you want to find the previous post, go here to find:

>After the magazine is scanned, it will be placed here first, collected for one month and then placed in EF

>Because the books I uploaded are now classified into other departments on the website, many books cannot be viewed online during this period.
>This website uses tapes (similar to audio tapes or video tapes) to store data, and data changes can take a lot of time.
>It has not yet been fully transferred. It’s no problem that the magazine is divided into video game magazines.
>But the guide book classifies it into comics and novels, so I can't understand it?

They give an update here:

tl'dr, they have various problems and some ransomeware. Famitsu 1050-1091 and 24 unreleased books may be forefight.

Anyone who doesn't regularly back up their files is an idiot

Have two onstie backups and an offsite one at the very least

I once got my files unlocked without paying via bitcoin because I sent a email claiming I was unemployed, lived in Brazil, and couldn't pay. They sent me a code and apologized.

How does one infect himself with a ransomware virus?
What retarded shit do you have to download, to get a freaking ransomware virus lol
That's the most boomer shit imagineable.

>hurr, I only care about game preservation and scanning manuals and strategy guides
>I don't do computers!

I have no idea. He's some guy in china. This is literally the only Chinese scanner who uploads for the general public too. There's a whole Chinese scanner community and a little bit leaks out but most of the time they scan for other chinese people.

>It's a big deal, and it's ransomware. You have to pay $1,000 to help you unlock it.
>Several have not been backed up yet.
>Now it's a mess. Can't provide this month,

>By the way, is there a way to crack or solve it without paying a ransom?

>=========================
>Content update
>I asked a friend to pay for help before, and 24 books have not been released yet.
>But many books have already been recycled.
>Mainly magazines of the weekly Famitsu 1051~1091.

>I went to check it on the Internet...
>But some people who provide software have to pay extra to give you a full solution.
>And I don’t know if it’s really effective.
>I would like to ask the hard drive repair company to repair it and wait for contact now.

>If it doesn't work, maybe these are all scrapped and have to do other magazines.

>=========================
>Content update
>There are so many problems this month, the scanner is broken, I feel unwell and go to the hospital.
>I was fined by the police, and now my computer is broken and poisoned. I don't want to do it!
