Attached is a torrent file which includes the image files for the front covers of the magazines listed below. I also attached an example screenshot of what this looks like in launchbox. Magazine covers in the torrent;
Nintendo Power (168)
GamePro (222)
Electronic Gaming Monthly (153)
Primka strategy guides (540)
These are just the images of the front covers. If you download the magazines from RetroMags.com, the image file names in the torrent match the retromags .cbz files so you wont have to edit anything. After importing as a platform, you simply drop your image files in the corresponding launchbox image folder and it should appear (eg. C:\Users\Arcade\LaunchBox\Images\Nintendo Power\Clear Logo <---change your specific directory to whatever you created the platform in of course). Don't forget to refresh your images in launchbox after putting them in the folder (veiw > media > refresh all images)... I'm sure most people here know how to do this but I remember how frustrating it was learning some of this so maybe this helps one person who is new and was worth typing in the end... I used CDisplyEX for the .CBZ files and SumatraPDF for the files in .pdf format. This was simple, I opened each app pressed F11 for Fullscreen, set my preferred zoom level (so that you see the entirety of the page) then closed it and both apps retained those settings.
I downloaded the Prima strategy guides from internet archive. I had to download wget.exe and put it in my c:\windows\system32 then download an emulated terminal app then enter the wget code that I linked below in the terminal. You can find some info on this website on how to do this below (install cygterminal64 and wget.ext). If your new to this, take your time;

Here was the code I put into the cygterminal to download these strategy guides from internet archive (about 20 gb);
wget -r -H -nc -np -nH --cut-dirs=1 -A .pdf,.epub -e robots=off -l1 -i -B 'https://archive.org/download/Tekken3PrimasOfficialStrategyGuide1998'
I hope this helps. I could really use platform image files, videos, music or anything like that that relates to this content so if you have some please post. I am going to take a break from this for now but when I recover from being "burnt out" on this, I'll try to get some more magazine covers uploaded. This was very painstaking because after I extracted the images, I literally cropped all of the strategy guides that were in front of white backgrounds. This is cool as hell though and brings me back in time. Anyways, if you need any help send me a message.
