Anyone else notice that the MAWS website has been "Suspended"?
http://maws.mameworld.info/

I frequently use the information there (EPROM set data, general hardware info, etc.). Anyone know of a similar resource that is working?
 
Probably not paid their hosting fees - I've seen it happen before, but not for quite some time. I would hope that they will sort it out in a day or two.
 
Pretty typical of the management at mameworld. This is about the 5th or 6th time this has happened in the last 5 years that I am aware of.
 
Yup... down for me too...

I hope they get it back up and running soon.

I use that site daily...

Sounds like you may be hitting a mirror site or something...

What do you get when you open a command prompt and type in: nslookup maws.mameworld.info

I get 173.248.187.242

If you get the same thing then clear your browser's cache.

If you get something different then maybe they are doing some kind of global load balancing through their hosting provider and the mirror sites haven't been updated yet.

Now I've noticed there is no data on MAWS to look anything up :( ARGGGGGGGGGGG!

Yeah, it's been doing that since late last week. Last time I looked, I could look up drivers (like dkong.c), but couldn't look up the individual ROMsets.
 
.. and it's down again. Someone ought to make a mirror of that site. There's lots of good information there, it's a shame it's on a sketchy host.
