Hi, as you may or may not know, Buzzd Chat is now “officially” out (v1.0.0) and with this update, we’ve launched the Audibles feature.
We were able to scrape the internet and gather as many audibles as we could, but a large amount of them seem to have been lost to time.
The same goes for IMVironments, I’ve managed to gather a few from archive.org, but most of them and weirdly the popular ones (doodle, for example) are nowhere to be found.
Other content that’s been lost are the games (the ones you were able to play inside the Y!M client, like pool, chess and backgammon) and the plugins, wasn’t able to find any of them 
Here’s where you come in:
If you want to help us, or just help tracking down Y!M lost media, and have access to old PCs that haven’t been touched in years and there might be a chance Y!M is still installed on them, here are some places where that lost media could be found, depending on the OS:
Registry: (not really content, but may contain IMV verification keys)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo
Windows XP x86:
C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\cacheC:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\imvcache
Windows XP x64:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Yahoo!\Messenger\cacheC:\Program Files (x86)\Yahoo!\Messenger\imvcache
Windows Vista x86 and above (7, 8, 8.1, …):
%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\cache%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\imvcache
Alternatively:
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\cacheC:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\imvcache
Windows Vista x64 and above (7, 8, 8.1, …):

Alternatively:
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Yahoo!\Messenger\cacheC:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Yahoo!\Messenger\imvcache
To dump the registry:
You can use regedit.exe, navigate to that path, right click on the tree node and export.
Audibles we found so far:
Note: due to the audibles being archived at different points in time, some of their names might be changed due to us trying to normalize them as their names changed over the years.
