what happened to Marp?

[Simpsons99]

Tried going to marp the last couple of days ... Seems to be some kind of error message .

The Python code that runs MARP was written around 1998 by an English guy named Chris "Zwaxy" Moore. Last I heard he was living in Prague. He hasn't been involved much in the day to day operation of MARP for about 20 years and nobody else knows the code well. If anything ever happens to Barry "mahlemiut" Rodewald or Pat Laffaye (of Frogger record fame), MARP will probably die.

There was apparently an upgrade on the host's end a little over a week ago. They are trying to figure out whether something needs to be done on the MARP side or the DreamHost side to get it to run again.

There is no reason to assume the worst at this point, but who knows?

The top 3 scores for any game at MARP are available here:

Well, hold on, don't write the future demise of the site just yet.  A.I. can write in obscure code already. It seems to me that someone knowledgeable in Chat GPT 4 could create a work around.

I might be overestimating its powers. Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if ChatGPT 5 or 6 in the future would be able to pull it off if four isn't able to.

If anyone from the MARP side needs technical help getting things up and running again, I'm happy to volunteer my expertise, whether it's with Python or SQL.

I'll mention it on the forum there.

I get the same result on both those links.

I get the same result on both those links.

Which makes sense I guess, since they are the same.

So if Marp is history 99% of my scores are gone.

The files are intact.

I expect someone would care enough to harvest the data and make it available.

[Simpsons99]

Without Marp I trying to find a reason I have all these different sets and everything on my Computer .  My interest  is at a all time low.

Marp scores on Super sprint where compleat horse shit

[Simpsons99]

With Marp gone mostly ...  Starting to think what else is there now?  Was thinking Console gaming might be something to do for scores or something now... I was trying to find sites for speed running console games or anything console related.. Did not really find anything.
