RIP Daren Pearcy

Did you read what I wrote though? Nobody knows the login/password so that channel is dead.

It's a long-shot, but I just thought someone may be able to contact his wife, who may be techie enough to access the account?

I don't know Daren or his wife, but I'm sure she'd know his hobby was something that was very important to him. Would she be upset about someone wanting to preserve and continue his legacy? Obviously things may be extremely raw for some time and you don't want to add extra burden like digging out passwords until the time is right...

This is the singular reason I have a Gmail account. It's set up with a switch to give access to a designated contact if you don't log in for a month.

Fellas I've soft deleted a few posts. I'll have a chat with Peter later, but we should keep this thread as a tribute that anyone, even people close to Daren, could read. Perhaps preserving the RZX archive is possible when the time is right, but probably not in this manner in this thread.

I was afraid it might happen when I noticed that there were no new updates on The RZX Archive. For the last 9 years we have been sending RZX files of classic videogames and he always attended us with great cordiality and kindness. His work on the RZX Archive was second to none. Very sad news! Really sorry to hear it.

Temporary solution, if you have new / unpublished RZX files you can upload them here.

Thanks!

And I really hope that Rzx Archive will survive.

Me too!
