Title: ATTN: Pokémon Snappers of The-Elite
Post by: RWG on April 25, 2021, 04:30:42 pm
So it looks like Cyberscore got hacked recently, and the hackers wiped everything from the site.  The admin were able to recover the site, but only as far as up to March 10th, 2021.

This means that anyone who has submitted scores to Cyberscore after March 10, will have to re-submit them.  I know there are about a half-dozen eliters who have been playing & submitting great Pokémon Snap scores there, alas, you better go and resubmit and some point when you're able.

(Hilariously, I submitted all my PBs about 3 days ago, alas, they've all be wiped, and now I have to go back and submit 60+ scores again... on the bright side, I did finally get the 10,000 Mew last night, so there's that)  :rollin: :smokin:

Interesting, I had lots of smash bros board the platforms pbs listed there. That's unfortunate

Like Goose said, only things posted since March 10th are gone.

I got lucky and only had to resubmit about half a dozen or so things.

wow

I can't believe they lost that much, but I'm glad they had a backup, looks like I lost 6 WRs but I resubmitted them.


Congrats on the 10k Mew!

I'm just getting around to resubmitting all my scores to Cyberscore.  I have a few questions/statements about recent Pokémon Snap activity.  Perhaps we can use this thread to keep each other updated on recent progress, in regards to both the N64 game, and the upcoming new Pokémon Snap.

1) Who is "sivart1164" aka "F.Ugame?"  Is he an eliter?  I only assume so because he's pretty much the only person other than MW/EC/BDOWN/Klobber who has been playing the game and submitting scores to Cyberscore recently, with proof.  He's been getting a lot of really insane scores, especially on the more complex 'mons.  If he's not an eliter, then who is this individual?

2) Only a couple PBs of mine are on my Japanese cart.  I just left the previous owner's file, since I didn't want to play through the whole game again.  Does anyone know Japanese Kanji well enough to know what the name of this file says?

(https://www.cyberscore.me.uk/proofs/5874/1611053.jpg)

3) Not a question, but I learned a decent Poliwag strat and got a score of 5,080.  It's only like 23rd place, but I think the pic looks cool, and I was happy to get it.  ;)

From what I've seen, he's a guy who did high score runs with his friend on their own many many years ago, and just recently uploaded his old scores to Cyberscore, and maybe started playing again himself as well. He is most definitely not an Eliter.

I believe that's katakana, not kanji. And I believe it would be Tooru. Must be a name?

Nice! There's another strat which doesn't look too bad but the WR one I think involves getting one to jump out of the water at the right time with an apple.

Apart from the hack itself, cool to see that you guys are actively playing it! Also insane how many records have been improved throughout all these years. I noticed that my proof sent on 2006 is not bound to each record on the site, and I can't find the pack I sent to Cyberscore. I'm considering taking pics and reuploading my proof all over again and perhaps play a little bit. This is my profile: https://cyberscore.me.uk/view_records.php?user_id=2829&games=15
