VGVirtuoso

[grandta13]

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about VGVirtuoso. The site seems to have gone down; it was accessible at http://www.vgvirtuoso.net/
It was a site similar to NinSheetMusic, but allowed for all types of instrumental arrangements. It would be a shame if the site has gone down and the submissions have been lost; there were some nice pieces on there.
If the site has gone down permanently, then does anyone know if a mirror exists or, if one doesn't, does anyone have copies of any of the pieces from the site? I have some on one of my hard drives somewhere, and I would gladly retrieve and share the files that I have if they are unavailable elsewhere.

P.S. For anyone wondering what the site was about, below is an archived version, but keep in mind that a number of parts of the site were never archived.

VGVirtuouso was a sort of 'colony' site of NSM, which (to my knowledge) sprouted due to the lack of midi's on NSM.  The site failed to retain activity for some years and is gone for good, unfortunately.  Not sure about retrieving files from there, but I would imagine someone more tech-savvy than me could direct you to some sort of site or method to finding them.  I'll ask one of my friends from there if he has copies of them the next time I see him, but I wouldn't bet that he does.

In the meantime, I hope you can at least enjoy the sheet music here as well.

I've created a website from which the files from VGVirtuoso will be accessible. I am currently digging through archives to try and recover as many files as possible. As I find files I will upload them to the site. The site is still under construction, and therefore lacks optimisation or completition, but it is still useable. The site can be accessed at http://vgvmirror.webs.com/.

EDIT: If you have any files from the site and would like to provide them for this mirror, then please message me. If you would rather contact me via email, then please do so at vgvmirror@gmail.com.

Nice! I look forward to future stuff you pull out of the archives!

I've been busy recently and have slacked off on the site. I found some time and have decided to try to revive the effort, but I've hit a snag. I have hit the limit for the number of pages I can have with a free account. While with some restructuring, the site will still be usable, but it won't be as organised as I would like. Does anyone know of a web-hosting service that would be more appropriate for this site? In the mean time I'll just restructure it, but I would like an easily navigable page.

(Since I will probable have already restructured the page by the time this thread is read, I'll provide a brief description of the layout of my page:
Put simply, it's similar to NinSheetMusic, but on a smaller scale; The basic structure of my page is a primary 'Music' page, from which the tracks from all the games can be accessed. Within the Music page are links to pages created for each of the games with enough tracks to warrant one (games with only one or two tracks would be placed with an 'Other' page with a heading to label the game.)

I know I'm a bit late, but wow, I didn't realise VgV was gone. That's a real shame seeing as it was one the few places to get ensemble arrangements. I might still have a couple of arrangements saved from there, in addition to my own.

If you do, that would be great. At this point I've exausted the supply of archived files from the site; I can now only get files from those who have copies.

P.S. All the tracks I recovered were from archive.org (https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://vgvirtuoso.net/*); if anyone knows of any other places that the files may have been archived, I would appreciate any information about them.

And that midi file under identified is from Metroid prime 1

Thanks; I've now categorised it.

That's about all I've got for other people's arrangements. I have a couple of others, mostly by Brassman, but I'm not sure if they were from VgV or not.

And these are mine (I don't remember how good they are, I hope they're ok).

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply; I've been very busy recently. I'll try to sort and upload them sometime this week.

So sad when I found out this happened. Here's a link to all of my video game arrangements that I put together on my own site!

Hey Nacho! How's it going? Do you still do much arranging?
