Thank you for your interest in game cache dumps.

Unfortunately as of sometime around August 2017, Baidu has either turned off public viewing of user's shares or the user's of Baidu themselves has turned off public viewing. This means that one is not able to see what other game cache dumps are available along with the history of the game cache dumps. As well with that point, it does not take much for either the users of Baidu or Baidu itself to "renew" those share links and therefore would nullify the existing shared links. In addition to these, of the two game cache dump groups that initially offered game cache dumps, one of them has turned their game cache dumps into private (login only) form. In other words, there is no way for one to be able to publicly see if there are new game cache dumps for that group without creating an account. Last but not least, my availability to update these game cache dumps are very sporadic at best and so I am unable to constantly update this blog entry to include any new game cache dumps.

What I strongly suggest to keen users of game cache dumps is to create a scraper bot which will check every day on the same page for any new versions provided by ShimakazeGo team and to probably then either notify or automatically grab the new game cache dumps. Ultimately, it might be best for everyone to "pool together" and create their own server for game cache dumps, to have it based on a CVS (Concurrent Versioning System - such as git), and to have it updated through some sort of automatic means other than scraping the new data via API keys. I have personally hoped someone would actually create their own server and have this sort of set up made public (or at least to a handful of trustworthy users) considering that I have long ran out of storage space on my MEGA account.
