  1. Interesting, I ran it thru over 50 virus scanners online and it came back clean https://i.imgur.com/PE8NAYg.png https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b11e8b5b3f1d01ebca6691c348a3abde77b4ecbf4ce60e2d67e8498c2420603d/details
  2. Box H1 on my Inventory sheet is going to be chopped up and scanned this week. Anything already preserved will be listed for sale in the Retromags store or set aside for blindboxes.
  3. I am all for magazines from around the world. Its just I dont read the language and its hard for us to get our hands on them. But if someone can provide a starting point... Name of Magazine How many issues.....even if approx Month and Year of each issue We can stand up a database section for it and a gallery section, and start putting together data and grabbing cover images.

  8. I am reaching out to ANYONE who has these magazines! If anyone has even one of these magazines, please send it into me for preservation. We need to preserve this magazine! If you send just 1 of these I will bump your account to Lifetime Patron. Someone somewhere has some of these, and I need to get as many of them preserved as possible!
  9. You guys lucked out that my bukkake gif search turned up no results that could be posted here.
  10. Ha, I also am HORRIBLE about updating this thread. I am still trying to find the energy to go into the MagDB and mark all these as "scanning". Also, I get the fun part of running the entire backend of this site. SSL cert expires, now I have to go get it installed on the website, seedbox and nas. Oh our seedbox host has a failed drive and they changed our host. Now I got to go fix our dns entries, and redo the FTP sync from the nas. Never ending But this spurt, this spurt will be the one.
  11. Games for Windows 5 is on my spreadsheet of things I have Games for Windows 6 is already preserved
  12. Alright, time to step back from scanning today and get those torrents for 2021 and 2022 out.....maybe even 2023
  13. Games for Windows Issue 12 November 2007

  15. We need ADF scanners with dual scanning heads, because a piece of dust will never be in the exact same position on both pieces of glass.
  16. I will add that opening up the IX500 doesnt give too much room, but the 7160 opens up wider to get down to the glass. Maybe I can just scan 500-1000 magazines real quick and be done with what I have in my storage unit.....pretty please!
  17. Dude, I use compressed air, a microfiber cloth, and I whisper sweet poems into this scanner and it still throws dust lines on me with no rhyme or reason. All the sudden pages 1-50 scanned fine, 51-60 have scan lines, and then 61 thru 100 are ok again.
  18. So normally I scan with a Fujitsu IX500.... And while I like it, and it has been the best scanner I have used in the last 15 years, recently this guy has been pissing me off. Oh it will scan a magazine in no time, but then @E-Day hits me up the next day and gives me a list of like 10, 20, 30 pages to rescan with it. So I put it thru a second time, and maybe this time I do it upside down or backwards, always a random dust line somewhere to piss me off. I work in IT, my job has a ton of scanners. So I am test driving the same scanner @E-Day uses, which is the Fujitsu fi-7160 I just reran all 12 issues of GamePro that I ran thru the IX500 the other day, @E-Day is checking them out. If this guy works better for me, and I can start really plowing thru magazines, this might be a game changer. I wont be able to keep this guy for long, but for right now I am testing with it. If this model gives me less stress, I may be able to get a few hundred....yes hundred.....magazines out of my storage unit and processed thru this. I wish I could test drive this one. Which is the fi-7460, and would do large format magazines as well. But the IX500 was a $400 scanner, the fi-7160 is a $850 scanner, and the fi-7640 is a $2400 scanner. Fingers crossed that the fi-7160 lets me get thru some of the backlog I have acquired and we can start completing out some of the other sections around this site. Anyways just an FYI
