ZeXr0, you're awesome, and you're officially my new hero. Now I can finally see some movies I never managed to get.
By the way, keep in mind that some movies already have an archive.org link, so you can avoid to upload them if you want.
Actually, I'm pretty lazy, so I'll just upload every file, and let other people modify the submission, and look if there is already a link to Archive.org :P

Seconded. Dumb me because I haven't clicked this thread before.. this will come really handy :)
Log:
Movies that already had an archive.org link:
GBA Ninja Five-O (#415)
GBA Sonic Advance (#568) for the non-camhack version. Added the camhack version for now only.
GBA Sonic Advance 2 (#468)
GBA Sonic Advance 3 (#597)
Movies that are currently missing a mirror link:
GBA Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time (#1214)
GBA "100%" Metroid Fusion (#1234)
Anyway, since there's a lot of links to be added to the movie pages, I formally ask Bisqwit for (temporary) Editor powers, as I'd love to help out with the update and whatnot.
I promise I won't abuse them (there are still logs and you can ban me if I do), and that I'll give them back once the big update is done. The fact that I lack a life gives me virtually a lot of time I can waste over this.
you're a hero dude.
one question though : why don't .avi files get an embedded version ? this way, so many movies could be watched online, and that would prevent us from the youtube madness.

hum I don't really know Archive.org and it's pretty hard to figure out what to do. mkv files got deleted and I don't really understand out it works.
I've uploaded what I had, finaly found out how to view the files I uploaded, and that's pretty much it.
It's true that it could be used instead of youtube because there's no size or time limit.

Because mkv is a stupid gay format. They're not considered as movies, and they're deleted. Avi files, instead, work perfectly.

Yes he is. I can't believe I can actually download movies now thanks to him. I've been watching TASes all day long. :D

Yes, archive.org generates an embeddable flash player, but only when you upload files individually (like I did); when you upload several files at the same time, they're collected in a single download page, and the flash player isn't generated. Not a big loss, though, since nobody at all was interested into said players when I posted about them.
Don't start a flame war, mkv is a good format, but it is unknown for most people.
As for the embeded player, I think that if you wait long enought (I ask a lot of processing power with my 600 movies) it will generate a file in different format for every movies.
EDIT : I just found out that that you can embed movies from archive even if there's a lot of movie uploaded. You have to click the big Play, then select your movie, then click the 3 horizontal line in the flash player. It will give you a like to embed this movie.

Yeah, you're right. The big "Play" button wasn't there last time I checked, it just needed a lot of time to process all those movies. Good, now we know that flash players are going to be generated, but as I said, nobody is interested in them :(
Don't lose hope. Life is beautiful, and definitely worth living. Don't waste it in sadness, grief and anger. Enjoy what is good and beautiful about life. If we lose hope, there's nothing left.

Completely Off-Topic -- I tried to commit suicide twice. Go figure how much I love my life. Now I hope this Off-Topic isn't going to go on. I don't want to talk about that.
yeah, the flash players have been generated, but only one by pack.
is it possible to have one by movie, by fiddling with the url generated ?
then we could start adding those to each movie.

What's really stupid and gay is how Archive accepts OGM and not a simiarly-unsupported in hardware but otherwise much superior MKV. :\
ZeXr0, if possible, add timestamps to the corresponding pages, so that it would be possible to know the exact date the material was uploaded on. It's important because it won't always be up to date. And thank you for your effort.

Looks very nice indeed, this idea is very interesting.
For those who don't know how to get this to work, here's how you do it:
1. Download an HTML page (whichever you want, www.google.com for example) by clicking "File" -> "Save page as" in your web browser and save it as an HTML-page on your computer.
2. Open the HTML-file with a text editor, like notepad, and delete all the text and replace it with the code SXL posted.
3. Open the file with a web browser while connected to the internet and it should work.
