They are only available in Europe.
Seems like the site is more or less intact. Leaderboards do not work, as they direct to missing sites. All images are saved including team logos and wallpapers. Screensavers are there as well. Flash banner, too. Even language selection works as far as I can tell. Got to check later.
Unfortunately I was not logged in when doing the backup, so there’s not all content left.
PS: Flash content seems to be really tricky to back up. Does anybody have a clue of how to backup wipeoutpure.com, wipeoutpulse.com and wipeouthd.com? I already tried but did not get past the language selection. Same problem occured when I tried to back up wipeoutfusion.com back in the day. I got the intro and the team-sites (as they opened in pop-ups) but that’s it. Seems like there is some kind of redirection within the flash files. Is there any way to search the server’s file structure to get direct access to those files?
PPS: Checking my browser’s cache it seems that wipeoutpure.com refers to the folders /Repository, /Flash and /XML which give you direct access to the site’s content such as images and videos. You cannot access the whole folders, unfortunately.
The good thing, though: The whole website’s text seems to be stored in this XML. Time to start a new thread in the appropriate board?
PPPS: Okay, here’s the deal: When one visits wipeoutpure.com every file necessary to display the site’s content is either stored on you HDD or at least there is a link saved to the origin of the file (try about:cache in Firefox and you’ll see what I mean). Now if one saves each of those files in the correct folder-structure, one should be able to load the entire website offline, shouldn’t he? I installed an add-on for Firefox which should let you download the raw cache files directly into a folder, but it didn’t work. Seems one has to download each file individually. I will give it give it a go later.

wipeoutpure.com offline – it works!

Not sure if anybody knows (or even cares ) but, you can access most of the site through web.archive.org

Hello guys, it has been a while. Life seems to ask for its token of days. I see that what I feared back in 2008, when the site was just being put into service, has happened , just as with the Fusion site . So , because of a stupid management of this game on behalf of Sony now we have no way of inserting any skins in the game , as the cover and ingame loading screens, so boldly, are stating. And even more, for some reason, which I will never understand, Studio Liverpool has been shutdown, so no one, officially, can make a stand alone skin manager. So, is it ever possible, technically and legally, for anybody to make an alternative to wipeout-game.com skin manager?
EDIT: So no answer, I suppose people don't care that much about skins anymore. Too bad, so much work gone wasted.

Dude, thread-necro. Not cool, man.
Don't worry though, I'm sure we'll figure out the skins. I think they're in .PCT format (I'll need a conversion tool), but high-definition versions are available in .TGA format from the PS2 files. If you want, I can convert them to PNG and put them up on Google Drive.
As far as I know, you can still view skins on the first page from the archived website, but the download links aren't working, just a series of dead-end redirects.

Unfortunately most of the data in unavailable. Many records from Talon's Junction and Outpost 7, but nothing from De Konstruct, Tech de Ra, The Amphiseum etc. I'd say about 85% of the top 10 records are missing :/
Edit: took all the records from the archived and uploaded them here, with glitched times removed:
https://www.wipeoutrankings.com/#c=a...rall&x=ranking
(That's the overall ranking page for Pulse)
In total, 4973 records.

Connavar you are so precious to the community...
It's been forever since I've been to that site so I don't recall. Is the site itself necessary to download skins or can they be uploaded via another site for download on PC and then transferred to PSP?
I believe it was necessary to create skins, hence my suggestion of someone working on an alternative if they thought it were possible. However I don't know at all if it was required to send skins to other people (ie I have no idea if the downloads I propose will work on your PSP without going through the site).
