question about the e-manga...

2004-12-10 03:25:16 am

I've been trying to archive the Metroid e-mangas, in case the Flash site ever goes down. I know there are translated .jpgs that have been released, but I am trying to find a way to download the actual shockwave files.

Unfortunately, it seems like it loads up two shockwave files, so I can only download the one that starts up, and not the actual content persay. Like, I can download the interface but not the actual manga.

Is there any way to get the manga? I'd hate to try the link someday to find the site gone. =(

For those of you who don't know, the manga is

http://kodansha.cplaza.ne.jp/e-manga/club/manga/metroid/vol01/
and
http://kodansha.cplaza.ne.jp/e-manga/club/manga/metroid/vol02/

Sort of unrelated to my first question, but within the topic, is there ever going to be a third volume? The answer is probably no, since volume two has been released for quite some time, but I figure that someone might have a solid answer.

There's a dirty way: Decompile the flash file. Get a flash/shockwave decompiler, and check the source code; 99.99 and 3/4% of the time it'll have the path to the actual "inside" file being summoned/included/called/whatever you want to name it.

I have one, but right now I'm in finals period, so until three days from now I have to study like mad for my physics final. :(

IIRC, 5 volumes have been released. My memory is craptastic, though, so I'd do a bit of research before you believe me.

if you'd like to host any files you can extract here at metroid2002.com, just send me a private message.

Thanks everyone, I was able to extract it. =)

But with regards to there being three more... where exactly would these be? I've never heard of them, or seen them... anyone have any idea where they are?
