Vladi

Greetings! For those who don't know me, I used to upload a Mexican publication that this last December ended business (after 23 glorious years), and it had the iconic name of Club Nintendo. I got into designing and managed to publish some cool stuff related to videogames on Nintendo Age like the black box version of Ice Hockey, an old Taito styled version of Renegade (for the NES), Breath of Fire II retranslated for the SNES, FEDA: The emblem of fire for the SNES, and some other things. So 4-5 years have passed since then, and i want to re-upload my scans in an easy way, is it possible? my old thread still exists and it even preserves some of the pictures from my imageshack account (http://community.retromags.com/topic/6193-vladis-work-in-progress/).

Thanks in the advance,

Vladi

I hope you will scan some of those EGM2 issues?

I second that

Volume 1 # 11 (October, 1992) submitted

Next on the list:

Scan it with 600dpi resolution and then adjust it to 300 dpi if you want even the bacteria to appear on the paper

Volume 1 # 10 (September, 1992) submitted

Next issue to scan:

I loved the the PS booklet you added yesterday.

Gotta feeling that this awesome little device will re-activate me as a gamer

This is really where having a good bibliography database would be key.

BTW, I don't know if you have searched for it, but there is a prototype of Clay Fighter 2 for the Genesis. I have a picture of the prototype board, though I am unsure who owns it and whether or not the ROM image was dumped.

Is there a "Genesis Shrine" similar to your SNES site? it could be handy for this kind of ROM restauration projects.

*shameless bump*

One week has gone by, no response. At least say you cant help so I can move on.

I downloaded time ago a section of that magazine containing only the Zelda I & II info from the Zelda Legends site, maybe the owner could help you with the other pages.

I have these clayfighter scans for the SNES version.

August 1993:

October 1993:

November 1993:

Because I'd love to see that!

So bad I declare myself a total neophyte on the subject (hacking/programming)... Back in the days Clayfighter gave a lot of fun times.

By beta restauration you mean rom hacking?

Do you have the Street Fighter II Special Edition?

Yep. I'll scan it when I finish with the 13 issues from volume 1 (4 mags. left).

It is very similar to the special edition published by GamePro (here) but the mexican version comes with 400 more photos .

Nice issues man!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks mate

Volume 1 # 8 (July, 1992) submitted... Finally!

Heh. I used to work for JASC, the original creators of Paint Shop Pro. My name's in the credits. Nice to see it still get namedropped.

Nice, I'm a big big fan of Paint Shop Pro.

You can reduce the pixel width of the images GIMP, as far as I know. I use Photoshop at home. I have the "unlimited trial version", if you get my drift.

For the record, I am willing to help anyone who can scan but can't edit. I'll gladly do the editing and stuff for anyone who isn't able to because they either don't know how or don't have the resources.

I can join you with that. I can't scan 2 pages per run and that suuuuuuuucks big time. It usually takes me 1.5-2 hours to scan 40 pages... If I just had a bigger scanner...

Try to run a test to correct common registry values problems with Tune Up Utilites

Why don't you try Pain Shop Pro 7 or Corel's Paint Shop Pro X? better than MS Paint, easier to handle than Photoshop and others.

I use it with a homemade script to work on scans: I get a 2500px X 3200px from the scanner then I run the script to apply the "Salt and pepper" correction -> Resize to 1400x1900 -> optimize JPG size under 1MB. It saves me tons of time!

Oh and not to mention how cheap the license is (was?)

PS. I have the a full copy for the 7 version but it doesn't come with the scripts option.

We lack tolerance nowadays.

Religion (not faith) sucks.

Yeah, and I'm glad. It feels to me like games were way off track for a LONG time(like, a decade) and now they're finally getting the right mindset and going back to the original format. I just hope they stick with it. I was looking forward to the future of gaming that I had in mind in the 90s. It just ended up changing and I didn't like how it turned out so much.

I think the whole polygon craze threw everything off.. Everyone started trying their platformers in 3 dimensions instead of two. Sure, some 3 dimensional games were done well and sometimes even RIGHT, but to me they never had the same feeling as the original 2D versions. Of course, I'm talking mainly here about the classic series: Castlevania, Metroid, Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Sonic type games and their incarnations on the past two generation systems.

Anyways, I've read a few interviews with modern game designers on various internet sites and quite a few are feeling the same as us retro gamers. The reason they got into creating video games is to make the games that they always wanted to play. We're seeing a big boom in retro style games, thankfully, because of this.

Mortal Kombat is moving on the same direction and I'm glad for that. Too bad I'm no planning to buy a PS3 or a XBOX 360 for the next 2 years (unless they drop to less than 150 dollar a piece, wich I doubt ).

PDF's support additional features not available via the CBR format. Indexing, Chaptering, Hotlinking internally/externally within pages, the ability to use OCR'd text in pages for searchability etc .... I guess that's why the publishers creating digital versions of their own content prefer PDF over anything else.

CBR's are just a flat picture driven format .... nothing else. Good for simple viewing so I guess it has a place in some people eyes but nowhere near as versatile. Still ... different strokes and all ...

I prefer CBR's over PDF's to easily pick a picture that I want to edit... PDF's take advantage when your original file is vectorized (e.g. office files, sigmaplot graphics, corel draw images, etc.).

I can't figure out how to use the shout box. I see text appear there, but I can't figure out where the text field is to type my own text. Please help.
