  5. I only have a few in my possession, maybe 3 or 4. If anyone has some of the earlier issues and wants to donate them, I will surely scan them.
  6. I must have been sleepy when I fixed it for the Premium Members group, because I left that setting in place for the Members group .......fixed!
  7. I did an upgrade on the forum yesterday, I have to reinstall certain things now to get the arcade back up and running.
  8. Speaking of Final Fantasy, I just picked up Crisis Core for the PSP and Final Fantasy IV for the DS
  9. I dunno, why cant they follow the same formula Nintendo went with "New Super Mario Bros", where they do incredible backgrounds and controls and utilize the touch screen. The DS is where they need to be making MegaMan games for!
  10. Yeah, I just never cared for the feel of jumping in early NES games such as Castlevania and Megaman. I jumped for joy when SMB2 came out and I found out the Princess could float. I love the direction of the new Castlevania games for the GBA and NDS. Hopefully someone puts that type of overhaul on the Megaman series and gets us some playable games. Or is the MegaMan series dead with all those Battle games?
  11. Megaman 3 is the only one I have for the NES, I never got into that series.....jumping was too hard
  12. I didnt get much sleep last night, and missed a prime auction on Ebay to pick this up! http://cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-Players-Guide...tem140258100079
  13. You do know you can embed video's by using this tag [yt]q75gREOjyFI[/yt]

  15. Thank You! I think that once we implement this software we can expect a very big increase in "Quality" traffic coming to Retromags, And I am sure that it will only help in our quest to scan the past
  16. I have been thinking about this for a while now, Retromags.com gets absolutely horrible results on Google, Yahoo and MSN. We should have a better rank on this website then we currently do. Anyways its because we are running forum software and due to that the search engines dont index us properly. I have looked into multiple ways to resolve this over the past year or so and one of the solutions is this.... http://communityseo.com/ Its an addon for this type of forum that makes it easier for us to be indexed and searched. What exactly will it change? Well this is the features.... Now you may be asking yourselves......"Why do we need this?" The reason why is not that we "need" this.....but rather we would benefit from it. A good deal of our traffic comes from people using search engines. And if this software increases our traffic, then that increases the chance that we find people to help out with this project. Reading the forums over at that website, people are reporting doubling and tripling the amount of traffic that comes to their sites. Right now Retromags gets about 8000 unique visitors per month.......out of that number we get about 2-3 people a month joining up to help scan and edit. What if that number was 24,000? That may mean that we would get 6-9 people a month wanting to help. Anyways I have this cool little widget that allows you to donate and track the results, it wont move you guys over to a Premium Member status immediately like donating through the forum does, but I will be moving you guys over manually, So if you donate send me your name on the forums so that I can give you credit. I will leave this widget up for 2 months. Now if you want to donate to Retromags but not for this software upgrade, Please use the Paypal donate button or the Subscription Manager found here.... http://www.retromags.com/forums/index.php?...&CODE=index But if you want to donate for this upgrade, then use the Chip In module on the front page of this website..... If we only reach $60 by October 10th, I will go with the 6 Month license.....but if we reach the $135 I will purchase the Lifetime license
  17. Yea I upload between 12am and 9am, So far I have done the following.... Mininova = 56.5GB [censor bypass] = 41.7GB It seems as though after I got the 4-5 people on [censor bypass] up to 100% , that even seeding 9 hours per day is not increasing me much....but thats ok because I am trying to get the Mininova people up and running. Hang in there guys, whats the highest percentage so far?
  18. No but we have thought about it Craigslist is a great place to pick up a cheap scanner.....here are my results for the DC area $40 - Epson CX3810 http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/sys/792519620.html $25 - Epson Stylus CX4600 http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/sys/791661550.html $20 - CanoScan N650U http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/sys/791007590.html $25 - Epson Scanner 1670 http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/sys/790046028.html
  19. WON! $21 shipped! Game Informer Issues 4, 5, 7, 8, 13
  20. Olympics just started, and they did a incredible job on the opening ceremony, So who is everyone rooting for? And how many medals does your team have? I am rooting for the USA, and so far they seem to have 0 medals
