Honestly, even if the footage never gets found, at least we have all these photos and articles about the event, so at least it’s documented in some way. Other lost media haven’t been so lucky.

Interesting thing, I work with one of the former directors of that very same mgm hotel in vegas, he does remember slamfest 99 very vividly and according to him there were a lot of people filming the event so there must be footage out there somewhere.

[@kattriella1331]

That's what I thought ever since I found out this was lost media. It HAS to be in somebody's box of home movies SOMEWHERE. I fully believe it exists in somebody's basement in a box of other unmarked tapes, shoved in a corner or closet, covered in two and a half decades of dust.

This HAS to be on someone's hard drive, somewhere. Even if Nintendo didn't offer a link to download the rebroadcast, there definitely existed tools to extract the file from the page source data, even back then. It's probably going to surface if and when a channel as large as Whang's (or larger) ends up covering the topic.

[@user-ly1ko6be9t]

This was 1999

[@HauntakuTV]

@@user-ly1ko6be9t Inspect exists

[@bozossb1937]

It's a bit more complicated than that - the video wasn't embedded in the webpage source. The "rebroadcast" file that you could download was just a container file that directed RealPlayer to stream the actual video from the RTSP address it contained. Think of it like a paper with an address of a house written on it, and not the actual house. To download the video file, the user would have to be savvy enough to open the container file in a text editor and manually download the file it was pointing to.

[@philliesphan9364]

Love your Glimmy icon

[@belstar1128]

probably not most people didn't know how to do that and it took up a lot of hard drive space and took forever to download back then. and hard drives tend to break quickly compared to other pc parts and people reformat them all the time

at this rate, Slamfest '99 is bound to end up in the same position as "Me and my Friends".

[@probablynotblufur]

ofc you don’t see phones because it was in 1999 😭

[@ChristopherGray00]

1. if you sift through the camera roll photos released, barely anyone in the crowd has cameras, it's mostly just kids in the crowd, and in the very few instances you do see cameras, they're all point and shoots, besides one of the pictures which has another guy taking a picture of a kid with mario and yoshi, in that was a DLSR, but that isn't apparent in the crowd photos. there's a photo of a nintendo employee with what seems to be a handheld video camcorder, however the picture is taken somewhere else in MGM, presumably this is after the event, maybe some video got recorded during the event from that, but i wouldn't cross fingers that it survived all the way to this day. 2. very low chance, nintendo is just about the last company to be transparent about their media with the community, they've pretty much never done any type of unearthing of behind the scenes content or previously unseen footage/etc, they are a very closed and tight lipped company in that regard generally speaking, they also probably just kind of assumed that the broadcasting company would take care of the footage for this, they likely don't have anything additional that the broadcasting company doesn't. 3. somewhat decent chance more photos may surface from some of the people with point-and-shoots, wouldn't cross fingers though.

It's been proven that no such video for Slamfest 99 was uploaded during that time which further proves that the person claiming it was uploaded in spring 2005 is a fake claim. The only accounts uploading videos in April 2005 were the higher ups/founders at KZbin or family members of those higher ups.

It's always kinda funny reading the comments on vids about stuff like Slamfest, because there's always a huge chunk of people who overestimate the technology back then ("why didn't people just record their screens as it streamed?"), but an equally huge chunk of people who underestimate it, too ("what? Livestreaming didn't exist before KZbin"). SO to make this a little clear: there was livestreaming back then! It was generally handled via separate programs, not in a web browser (there may have been in-browser streaming back then, but if there was, it was in its infancy and very, very resource intensive). Basically, imagine if Twitch had its own launcher instead of being a website, but people from any domain, not just Twitch, could be watched on it so long as you had the right address for their stream. However, screen recording (especially recording a playing video/stream) took a fair amount of computer power to do, so it wasn't commonly done by average joes outside of things like making short GIFs. Videos that weren't things like animations were mostly things that were recorded on something other than a computer, and were then uploaded (or, obviously, streamed). So for the case of Slamfest, our best options are either: 1. Video from the source, be it Nintendo, Game Freak, the marketers, the recording crew, or otherwise; just SOMEONE involved that may still have a recording somewhere 2. Second hand, who got the video from the source in some way (gifts, inheritence, thrift, etc.) OR 3. People who recorded the event from the audience with their own camcorders, assuming it wasn't banned.

This is just a crazy idea I had, and I wanted to know what you think about it, why not try and get in contact with Sakurai, I mean he has a KZbin channel and is literally the creator of Smash Bros, so he should know something about it, I hope you guys succeed with your search,🤠👍 have a nice day,

[@HauntakuTV]

Oh, he'll probably show it off in a video if he has a copy.

[@Xylospring]

Silence makes me think they were threatened.

[@Shannaxx123]

My grandpa went to it and recorded it and I was about to release it untill I watched it and realized he kept the lends on😅

[@redcarkyle123]

So far, this has been quite the year for the lost media community.

[@DarkRequiemFilms]

Anyone might have this complete on tape, who knows. they might even be watching this video right now and maybe even writing a comment at this very moment, but we'll never know.

[@GiannisGOAT34.]

Dude do you have a tape?😆

[@Bonzibud69]

I was at the event and recorded some of it on my vhs camcorder I'm the boy with glasses standing next to Pikachu in one of Ed's photos I might upload it to my channel but I don't know if anyone would be interested in seeing since it's from a different perspective

[@AUTISTIBUFF]

@@Bonzibud69 man do you mind to upload or send link i think it almost complete this almost 10 year search

[@polandman07]

Digitise and upload it! Some video is better than none at all

[@puppetcombo4life]

How do I upload something to the lost media wiki? I need help finding something

[@WizardoftheGhost]

This reminds me of the super smash brothers comercial with the pop song by the turtles playing. "Loving nobody but u, for all my lifeee".

[@albertrostolsky9571]

I was just watching videos about the topic nearly an hour ago, dang.

[@magicmike191v2]

I wonder who Nintendo hired to play the characters. I wonder if it was Indie wrestlers from that time frame in the area, would be cool if it turns out that a big wrestler worked that match

[@AloneSmGG]

Talk about “just a game”! It’s a lost song and it’s not only catchy but the search for the song has been wild

[@juuzou7381]

Yesss I love just a game I wish it was longer

[@icymiles]

What?

[@Rhettroizms]

You also know whats just a game?

[@user-ly1ko6be9t]

Lostwave isn't the same as lost media, it's just grouped into the same category because of terminally online idiots. A lot of the time lostwave is also lost media but that's like saying all Islam are terrorsits.

It took many years but the original back rooms photo location was found

[@SeniorQD]

I feel like we will find it, but the audio will be missing 😅

[@bisketan]

am i crazy or does this has no sound?

[@Rompulus]

You're crazy.

​@@Rompulustemporary craziness, i can hear the sound now thankfully

wake up

[@tartellu5010]

I think the funniest thing to me about this search will be when people actually find the vid in a couple of years and then call it the most underwhelming thing to ever be found in the lost media community and then wonder why they even look for lost media in the first place.

[@HauntakuTV]

Oh, it's definitely worth it. It's not as cool as the java/flash game about the girl with no name who lives in a lonely town that's currently being affected by a mysterious disease, but it's still cool.

[@belstar1128]

i think the big problem is that since it was a live stream from 1999 it was probably a 64x64 2 fps slide show so that is why nobody bothered to save it .

[@mr.whimsic6902]

If we can find EKT and the backrooms, we can find the slamfest footage.

[@timbo303official9]

Um the backrooms were found recently in wisconsin of all places.

[@belstar1128]

backrooms is a place that still exists and will probably exist for a long time ekt was never really lost but it was in a place nobody dared to look

[@JohnTheSmallKid]

i regret throwing away a old pc i bought from a unique thrift store. it had a video of it. well a short clip. its been years since i saw it
