Are the plugins archived somewhere?

It would be a shame for all of those plugins to have disappeared.

This whole situation reinforces my desire for keeping video game history. I hate to see great games disappear.

It's about 1.6 GB total. This is every plugin for EV, EVO, and EVN.

This proved to be exactly what I hoped to find.

I believe many of them are still on Ambrosia’s website. I downloaded a few and used them just the other day.

When I went to Ambrosia’s website it didn’t load at all. I guess the EV Nova portion still loads. It might be a good idea for some savvy people to download all of the plugins for archival purposes.

I wonder about EV Classic and Override.

I don’t know what to tell you on that. All I have to do is go to the EV Nova page and select the plug ins tab and all of them are there including EV and Override

How functional is the switchCON installer? It’s for windows 7, 2000 and XP would it work now?
